Diablo 4 is already pretty long, so I don't need to be delayed by Mephisto’s second cousin who wants to talk about “family.” Running into an army of demons while I’m exploring Sanctuary is kind of like stubbing a toe - screaming expletives at the top of my lungs. Give me more stuff to do, and I’ll be a happy gamer. A great idea would be to take advantage of that - throw some fun lore dumping oddities around Sanctuary. They gave you a wider understanding about Sanctuary and how Lilith fits into it.ĭiablo has more lore than I even know what to do with. Despite that, a wonderful example of world-building were the tablets in Act 1 strewn throughout Kasama. Granted, Diablo 4 was never going to be the kind of game where exploration was a key feature - monster-killing is. However, if you take the monsters on a vacation to the Poconos, it starts to become very evident that there’s not a lot around in Sanctuary. Frolic in the swampy fields of Scosglen without fear of being mauled by an angry druid, or ride your horse in the rainforest of Kehjistan without being solicited by a demon! But you know what will happen? We can EXPLORE. There are a lot of places where it makes sense to have monsters, and if you leave them in those areas, we won’t be lacking in baddies to kill.
Leave the Elites and Champions where they are, then throw all of the monsters in isolated key areas, like camps, Events, and Strongholds. Get some of your baddies to take some vacation time. Lilith has terrified the citizens of this world plenty, they get the idea - don’t mess with mommy. Let’s be honest - we don’t need mobs running around Sanctuary to the extent that it does. Let me explore, damn it! Isolate your monsters I can stare at those beautiful landscapes and structures for hours - that is if I didn’t have to deal with Bob from Lilith’s accounting department trying to hustle me out of my gold. Throw me into the picturesque desert wastes of the Dry Steppes, or the detailed mountains of the Fractured Peaks. But I don’t need to be stopped every two seconds by a group of enemies that’ll just disappear at the click of a button anyway.ĭiablo 4 is about killing a crap-ton of monsters, I get that, but I want to see the world that those artists spent years making. The world of Sanctuary is dark as hell, both literally and figuratively. Narratively, it makes sense that the world is overrun by monsters.
