just about every other blizzard game has at least 2 factions or stories in it. and in the manual for the original Diablo, in the story material it said that humans fight on both sides of the war between Heaven and Hell. there are human champions on Hell's side too. I always wanted to play as a Hell champion in Diablo

Honestly I wish Runic Games was still around cause Id much rather have Torchlight 3 than Diablo 4

And Diablo II is one of my all time favorite games

If they make Diablo 4 it should launch in a playable state.

If they do make it then they should actually make it good.

Considering how most humans who wind up on Hell's side turn into horrific abominations (like the Rogue player character from the first game becoming the Act I boss "Blood Raven" in Diablo II), you'd probably have to have radically different mechanics for each side, and you couldn't just palette-swap normal classes with either "good" or "evil" versions.

And that would take far more effort and cost more than they're willing to commit to on a game these days (even games with morality systems are rarely willing to do must to differentiate both sides), so I doubt you're ever going to see it.

Also I would really want a new game to be sprite based like the first two

In fact I demand it

If they did, I imagine they'd sell it as two games, possibly with one being available as discounted DLC if you own the other (like Nintendo did with FE14). It'd be a lot of work, but I don't see that being an issue provided they can come up with a model that can make it profitable.

Just because you're trash doesn't mean you can't do great things.

tbh the story became kind of a shitshow and if it weren't for the gameplay being okay i'd have completely lost interest in it a while ago.

blizzard can't write anymore, it's tragic.

i mean yeah. i'm just saying it very clearly shows. all they're ever "good" at doing anymore is killing off old characters that people actually liked.

and maybe bringing them back (comic book style, cause that's obviously great writing) via magic ass-pulls if they're popular enough (fuck off, illidan).
