I don’t know or care about any of the NPCs.Īt several points in the game, major NPCs betray you and/or die. But I’d love to feel like my character was making the choice, rather than being a lackey. Note that I’m not actually demanding choice or free will as a player. I’m apparently the only one who can save heaven and earth, so maybe you should shut up and let me talk. 1 So why am I taking marching orders from you? I’ve got an intelligence of 235, and later in the game I’m revealed to be a unique supernatural being. The decisions have been made and you’re sent off to do/get/kill whatever they’ve decided upon. They’re having an exclamation point party, and you’re welcome to quietly observe.Įvery once in a while, your character chimes in, but it’s generally to say, “I’ll do it!” In Diablo III, you encounter most of the plot by listening as other characters talk to each other. I didn’t come here to watch NPCs talk to each other. Trust me, I’m not really ruining anything. Many folks have asked me to elaborate my story gripes, so here we go. The writers weren’t given very good placement in the hierarchy of credits, and the storytelling in Diablo III is pretty damn weak. Yes, I was trying to kill two birds with 140 characters. Writing credits are pretty deep in the end crawl, consistent with how little they cared.
