I know that. But on the other hand, I just had to explain that while he's making his point, Imperius is like asking to be considered a jackass pseudo-Hate Sink like Aldaris by the audience, that's what usually tunnel visions or 'being blinded with X' would do to the eyes of audience. It might make sense and be understandable in-story, but characters like that are gonna get disliked or be considered a jerk by the audience. I think that's how the audience rolls...
And it didn't help that Imperius stands firmly on the side of law, and Law... gets bad rap...
(Please note that I used pseudo for a reason because he's not completely one)
Okay, I think I've said my words. Hopefully I don't have to drag this any longer.

Oh, of course Imperius is a Hate Sink. The narrative in Act IV goes to extra lengths to make him look unreasonable and vicious, to the point where he gets a few Pet the Dog moments in Act V just to make it clear that he isn't a direct antagonist.
I'm not contesting this at all, just observing that it might turn out that Jerkass Has a Point.

"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"In the ending of Diablo XXIV, the creator of the Universe will show up and tell the Demons and the Angels that they were supposed to leave each other alone - that is why they were put in separate realms to begin with. They only thing they ever did right was the creation of the Nephillim, and s/he is very disappointed in both sides.
... XXIV...
Is it gonna be created at year 3000, if the world still existed?
I'm not looking quite that far into the future, but it will be predictably boring if the Nephalem from Diablo III is the antagonist of Diablo IV.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"The main questgiver will be Imperius and he'll spend the whole game talking shit about the Nephalem and then when you actually meet him/her it turns out they're still good guys and Imperius is just being dumb like always. The real bad guy shows up at that point.
You fell victim to one of the classic blunders!That'll get Diablo mad; the game is named after him, after all.
Pinkie Pie and flugelhorns are a bad combination.You may recall that, in Diablo II, the Lone Wanderer was the hero of the previous game; we didn't get the Diablo reveal until later in the game, even though it was obvious at that point.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"I started the Monk last night. He's very cool.
Pinkie Pie and flugelhorns are a bad combination.Had a Monk and Witch Doctor. The latter just made me miss my Necromancer more.
The Crusader is awesome. I like how he is basically a slightly more sarcastic Captain America - he even flings his mighty shield!
So far, we're doing Expert difficulty to get through first time, then may try again on the harder goes around.
Yeah. Playing as the Crusader made me feel like a Super Saiyan. :)
Pinkie Pie and flugelhorns are a bad combination.Sorry about the double post, but I had an amusing thought. Since the Monk is a bare-fisted one, I'm tempted to say this when I fight Malthael: "This hand of mine glows with an awesome power!" ^_^;;

Pinkie Pie and flugelhorns are a bad combination.That doesn't really work unless the monk can perform shining finger...
My DA account... I draw stuff sometimes!About Tathamet, how powerful would he be compared to the Prime Evils?
He is the origin of all of the evils and his corpse created the Burning Hells...
[DATA LOST]The Burning Hells and all the demons it has ever spawned are the product of Tathamet. It is reasonable to say that he is as strong as the total sum of all of them. When Diablo absorbs the souls of all of the Evils, he is as strong as Tathamet for all intents and purposes.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"Diablo had essentially become The Anti-God didn't he?
I've given the PS 3 version a go, though it lacks greater rifts, that is a hidden benefit considering that after a point diablo 3 turns into cookie clicker, except with cookies you get monsters.
Got a wizard through act 1 but since he's used with my partner roommate I've gotten farther with my crusader who got to act 3.
The difficulty seems to swing wildly thanks to scaling enemies and a sliding scale of gear drops. Belial got absolutely wrecked when I fought him at level 31 with ~1000 AP. Only hiccup was popping my big transformation ability too early and watching it tick away while he switched from phase 1 to phase 2.
Apocalypse: Dirge Of Swans.I'm excited for another expansion but not crazy about bringing back an old class. I preferred the evolution of previous class themes into something new—like monks having paladin auras and assassin martial arts—rather than just bringing back the old—barbarians.
"But don't give up hope. Everyone is cured sooner or later. In the end we shall shoot you." - O'Brien, 1984It could be a Diablo 2 remake.
This song needs more love.A remake of Diablo II with Diablo III's engine would be cool, but I'm afraid they'd be accused of being uncreative and recycling old content.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"If we get necromancers, I'm on board. Necros were my shit in D2.
But at least we'd get to hear the amusingly cheesy dialog again.
Pinkie Pie and flugelhorns are a bad combination.
That's my point. We still don't know which point of view will end up being correct. The resolution will probably have to wait for Diablo IV, if that ever happens.
