Azmodan was an embarrassing tsundere demon and Diablo was whiny

Uh, what?

[(Anonymous)]

Not OP

Have you played the game? Embarrassing Tsundere is spot on. "I'm totally gonna kill you next time, hero! Are you scared yet? You're totes dead, I promise! I'll check back in five minutes to make sure you are! Are you scared yet? N-not that I care or anything!! o///o"

[(Anonymous)]

I've played the campaign repeatedly.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsundere

I still do not see how Azmodan matches the definition of this. Unless you're saying that the writers meant for him to be tsundere but it didn't play out that way at all.

[(Anonymous)]

Eh, I get where OP is coming from. I think the idea is you kill him before he gets to the dere part. Azmo's such a tryhard trying to scare you and prove he's badass it's easy to imagine him as some 12 year old kid who desperately needs approval, which is certainly a subtype of tsundere.

[(Anonymous)]

In other words, not even remotely tsundere.

That's like calling a pizza a type of cheeseburger because it had meat, cheese and dough, except you didn't put one slice on top of the other so that it could resemble any kind of sandwich. And then blaming it for failing as a cheeseburger.

I still play! Level a character every season, (although I'm currently knee deep in WoW, so I haven't done anything for the current season yet.)

I liked the mystic, Miriam, and also Adria... for a while.

The male characters are much better though. Lyndon and Kormac are two of my favourite ever characters in video games.

My battle.net ID is Gecko#2513 if you want to hit me up :)

To be honest, this was nt va game a played for the characters (or even the plot so much). I like the gameplay, the trailer and in-game videos are pretty, but yeah.

Expecting anything good out of Diablo 3 displays a level of naivete that makes me genuinely fear for your safety.

[(Anonymous)]

I still play - and eagerly awaiting the new expansion pack! Necromancer.. <3

Kormac is one of my favorite sidekicks :D

Leah got the short end of the stick.

[(Anonymous)]

Agree with you with everything you said, anon. The story especially fell flat with me in a lot of sections, what with the whole "turns out the likable character Adria from the first game is an evil MILF in my fanfiction Diablo III". I thought Leah's was alright, just a fucking shame how thoughtlessly the game implies that she's still conscious during the final battle, ans then has you kill her and everything is happy forever with the music fucking ending on a literal highnote. What ludonarrative dissonance.

Re: Leah got the short end of the stick.

[(Anonymous)]

I agree Leah got screwed, but I sometimes wonder if they plan or ever planned to bring her back in some form in a future expansion. Not alive, obviously, but some of the discussions you can trigger with other characters are about the state of her soul.

[(Anonymous)]

Imperius is my husbando.

[(Anonymous)]

I haven't played Diablo 3 since shortly after release but I agree with all of this, except that I don't think you should feel un-feminist in the slightest for hating Leah. Bland characters are bland characters. And it's not enough that she's boring, you have to DRAG HER AROUND WITH YOU for a while so you really get that boring-ness asserted.

I loved Diablo 2, and while it may not have had a great plot, it had great atmosphere supporting a generic plot while Diablo 3 had a generic plot aggressively shoved down your throat. It was very disappointing.

Seriously, Azmodan's obsessive psychic texting, wtf.

[atelierlune]

100% agree. Every interesting plot device, from Malthael's crusade being largely informed by his grief at the endless attrition of the Eternal Conflict, to Leah getting fridged, to the companions feels incomplete, like they left good ideas on the table. I got that it was supposed to be dark and brutal and that Diablo isn't a story-rich RPG series but I was let down too. Oh, and those dire pronouncements Tyriel keeps making about your hero becoming so powerful that they might pose a threat to angels and demons alike? Where was that supposed to be going?

I play off and on, and would like to try out Necromancer when it drops, but I'm not as into it as I used to be.
