>replay diablo 3 for the first time since launch Holy shit

>replaying a shit game
why?

Question: how do I write characters?
Examples of well-written vidya characters are also welcome.

d3 might have the worst writing in a video game ive ever seen.


Reaper of Souls story is passable at least. Nothing particularly godawful there.

The combat is good even though the story is fucking awful and exasperated by the game being painfully linear to force more awful story on you.

Kreia.
Give them a motivation and a personality.

Legion is way worse.

Stardew Valley has better story and more depth than Legion.

I remember thinking the belial storyline could've been amazing if it'd turned out belial was only the emperor you met in the sewers and not actually in control of the throne. would've been a pretty good trick having belial use the player to overthrow the real emperor who was just a dick to the player because royalty are often dicks.

I like the console version a lot more. The dodging on the right stick was fun

it"s a surprisingly good couch co-op game

>replay diablo 3
>play story mode

why? you realize you can just entirely ignore it now right
>>376965341
same, considering the money that went into it

>>376968245
Yeah, just wish they made inventory management splitscreen

A trip into town with 4 different people switching gear was the most tedious shit

I'm not paying Blizzard more money.

The combat isn't as good as people praise it because it's simply outdated. There's a severe lack of mobility for the size of the maps, the skill cooldowns are too high for the genre in general, only four skill slots, and so on.

People pay attention to the story in diablo and diablo clone games? What are you a freak?

>>376969505
It's 6 skills slots

>Angels are basically Dragonflights from WoW
>Adria's primary motivation stem from her daddy issues
RoS made me lose what little respect I had left for Blizzard storytelling.

Diablo 2 had good worldbuilding and exactly the right amount of plot to keep you motivated and moving forward without Clippy the paperclip popping up every 3 seconds to tell you something.
