Same with Neyrelle losing her hand.

I think that dilemma is one of the strongest points of the story. She is an excellent seductress and manipulator. Such a well written character. Worthy of the name Lillith, which has an association with succubi in traditional mythology if I'm not mistaken. Didn't double-check so that could be wrong.

What's weird to me is that they made such a big deal when Elias was trying summon that one lesser evil that starts with an "A". Andarial? Whatever it's called. That was supposed to be such a big threat. Then all of a sudden in act 5 Durial, another lesser evil comes out of no where. You beat him, and nothing more is said about it. Just seems lazy.

Great video man,well done. This has to be the best custody battle I've been apart of

Donan's voice acting, oh my God,full of emotions that made me cry

I think I'm missing something, because to me it seems like Lilith trying to help us by giving Humanity the power to fight the forces of hell without Heaven? She created Statuary to escape the endless war between Angels and demons, then was betrayed by her Angel Husband/Baby dad( who killed their son btw) Imprisoned then freed only to be betrayed by the very humans she was trying to help?? I get that she's a demon and was making us worship sin, and that's bad (I guess), but she wanted more than anything to free us from the need of heaven to protect us from the prime Evils, and none of that mattered! We still thought of her as the enemy, the mother of all Mankind! Besides from the murderous intent that comes with following her Lilith had our best intentions in mind when she was freeing us from the trapping morality and returning us to the path of sin, and we had a obligation to follow her, I mean, she is Mother after all!!

@martakilian5686

Ай бұрын

Nope. She and inarius are in conflict, becsuse she wanted to use her children (nephalems) for her on purpose (rule over sanct+hell) and inarius disagreed. Then the story really begun and inarius locked her, because heaven and hell didnt know about sanctuary and if she couldnt be stopped, then they will know and eternal conflict will continue event there, with humanity. She escaped. She doesnt care about humanity, nephalems, she just wants power and that is all (the sin war trilogy by Richard knaak - the best books about diablo). Then heaven and hell learn about sanct and here we are. Its all her fault

Donan - it was a great video. It’s nice to watch the story like this after seeing it in bits and pieces while playing the game. It really helps put it all together.

This is very well done! Definitely helps un-fog some areas where I wasn't completely paying attention, lol. Thankyou!

Even if they are assholes, you don't work to dismantle the military and government when there's literal demons and murderous cannibals roaming the countryside and the very wilds are going insane.

Almost... in the sense where "almost" doesn't make the cut. Lilith does not make the cut of "good guy". She has a lot of good points, she creates a lot of good things - she creates the world of Sanctuary (with Inarius)! But Lilith falls far, far short of being "the good guy". She falls far, far short of being "good" as well. She corrupts everything she touches. I don't think she even means to, many times. I think she wants to do good, a lot of the time. Sometimes she even succeeds. The thing is... the tragedy of it is... every time, she will muck it all up. Not like humans do - worse. That is her nature, and that is the nature she will inspire.

People seems to forgot the first encounter of main character with the petals. See what happens in a world of only darkness, without light. That’s whats going to happen if we chose to side with Lilith. Instead Sanctuary now has no light, no dark, nothing. It’s like a newborn child now, no one knows where it’s going or is it going to be good or bad. But it’s the most reasonable choice.
