Other RPGs (even Final fantasy XIII, for gods sake, in between all its emo) explore morality, society, metaphysics. ![]() The story too echoes themes that are done to death: Humanity is strong, one must carve one's own destiny, etc. A sorceress who serves a prophet who is not who he seems.Ĭompare them to Bioware characters and one realises how weak Blizzard's effort is. ![]() The sidekicks you encounter on your journey are stereotypes built up in a rather formulaic manner, each with one secret: A noble templar who follows a holy order which is not what it seems. Diablo 3, on the other hand, like Starcraft 2, has a rather juvenile story with uninteresting, shallow characters. One thing that a lot of RPGs have been doing well for some time is giving their players breathtaking depth in terms of story and characters. Of course, good cannot exist without evil, and there are some things about Diablo 3 that make one grind one's teeth (instead of grinding one of the dungeons in the game).
