"Diablo 4's Twisted Plot and Fantasy World Set It Apart from Other ARPGs"

Diablo 4 almost had a compelling twist in its narrative, with the player potentially aligning with the villain, Lilith, who seeks to uplift humanity and prepare them for war against the Prime Evils. However, the game ultimately falls into the trope of labeling evil as inherently bad, similar to Star Wars, and the heroes continue to oppose Lilith solely because of her lineage as the Daughter of Hatred. The story presents the Church and its Angel-obeying followers as the "good guys," despite their shared goals with the heroes, highlighting the relative nature of good and evil. The article suggests that there is room for the narrative to continue in Season 1, potentially taking the story into a less predictable territory.
