The prophecy was revealed. Piercing hatred’s heart. Inarius was the one with hatred in his heart and everyone thought it was meant to be Lilith (Daughter of Hatred)
Really, REALLY liked the campaign my first playthrough. Wasn't a fan of Elias (Oedipus complex tool), or Inarius (solipsistic, self-aggrandizing tool), and Prava's faith was... blind, sadistic -- monstrous. Sanctuary had been corrupted, dying. Both Heavens and Hells each with a boot on the human realm's neck. The only one who seemed to have Sanctuary's best interest in mind was the one striving to unite us, to fight for us poor, miserable, sacks of flesh; the one who offered her hand in invitation. Yeah. I'll always be team Lilith. Much like Daenerys (from the GoT show at least), she was done dirty. That's my hill and I'll die on it. Hmm. Maybe they'll bring her back -- she was an excellent character; 'evil' never really dies -- so the saying goes. 😛 Loved your reaction! Nice to see genuine appreciation. Glad you (seemed to) like the game as well. Cheers!
She will be back. In lore ALL demons return. Unlike the Angels who are reborn as someone else. However Inarius I'm sure will be turned to some corrupted form, similar to what happened to Izual. I hope in the Expansion Prava gets her head out of her ass.
Almost as if it was not exactly how the narrative was meant to be portrayed. Blizzard really went the route of turning Inarius into a piece of shit and never developing him just so Lilith could achieve her clout. I loved Lilith but they did Inarius dirty... such a historic Angel to act and die like this, it makes no sense, except for making Lilith be perceived to be superior. Not unexpected, they did the same shit in D3 with Leah, but at least they developed Tyrael...
@@leoleo1035 Yeah I agree, they literally made it impossible to root for Inarius outside of looking and sounding cool af. I already knew they'd heavily push Lilith in our faces as the super ultimate have to love character. I just didn't think they'd give Inarius such little and offensive character development. I've been looking foward to seeing him ingame since reading the books over 15 yrs ago. Now he's killed off/a corrupted angel like Izual all cuz "Lilith best".
@@leoleo1035 An interesting perspective! I thought Bliz did a decent job making *everyone* terrible. How many people did Lilith kill, torture, sacrifice for her goals? A lot. How many did she goad, or lead into horrid acts of wanton, chaotic violence? Even more. Lilith was hardly a hero -- most any character (there are always exceptions) that "gets things done" without conscience, without care, or at least remembrance... remorse -- all those eggs trod, ground, broken to protect the sh%$ omelet of Sanctuary -- the ends don't justify the means if there's no means left to matter. I still think the entire cast was full of kickbutt characters! Rooting for the (anti-hero? anti-villain?) villain in this instance; often will, depending on the story: most favorite person in Star Wars? Vader/Anakin, in that order. She was just the lesser (yuk yuk) of the Evils offered. Regardless of her methods, Lilith was the better option for Sanctuary's survival. Now, do I think Sanctuary deserved to survive? That's a more complex question. Story wise, umm, well, maybe, but I dunno; there was a whole lot of heinous-ness going on. Game wise, I'd like to continue mucking about in the Diablo universe, so heck yeah! To Hells with Inarius -- he was just as duped/delusional as the Horadrim; Mephisto played everyone. Inarius's motives were selfish, but understandable. He just wanted to go home. Missed hanging with the divine bros. Missed having a purpose that *mattered*. Humans were off the rails, and now the Nephilim were returning? Really? The arrogance. The EGO of humanity, of the firstborn, unsealing Divinity from their creator. Much like Prometheus -- taking what wasn't theirs to have. I mean, I get it. I don't think he was a shallow character at all. I don't think he was diminished in any way to make Lilith more than what she was -- a mother, a dreamer, a benevolent Demon queen. Still Evil, still willing to consign -- half? more than half? most of? -- her human children to the Abyss (grist for the mill, if you will) to save what she could, before her hard won "neutral ground" was nothing but char. And those pompous, selfish, self-serving fools from the Heavens and Hells would go right back to kicking dirt in each other's eyes, and on, and on, infantile. The whole point of Sanctuary was place for those weary of the Eternal Conflict to have a place to rest, to hide, to stay a while and listen. It was something Inarius believed in, or was convinced he continued to believed in. He was obsessed with (maybe even still in love with) Lilith -- but I think he was a very reluctant papa. Unless there's some lore I'm missing (and trust me, there probably is), my interpretation was that Inarius was all for a place to chill, but those Nephilim... well, they were lovely, he guessed. Like pets? Really loud, messy, eternally-stuck-in-the-rebellious stage creatures that were always underfoot, and he had to watch where he was stepping because Lilith liked them. And then he was like, oh, they're kinda cute, even a little fun, now that they're no longer a threat to my supremacy. But they kept. Making. Mistakes. The rise and falls of nations, politics, being so easily manipulated by the Evils. It was so much work cleaning up after them all the time, and don't get Inarius started on setting them on the path of Light and narrow. No matter how hard he tried to cope, coexist, ignore -- they were insufferable, power grubbing gnats. For eons, he tried to go along to get along. And then came the grueling, endless Sin wars, and being betrayed by his siblings, abandoned to Mephisto's tender mercies, and he'd had Had Enough Forever. Was it any wonder he was weary of his Burning Hells staycation? Torture and mockery of his well justified narcissism (he was a pretty man-boy and a Divinely glorious angel. What? He should be ashamed of his immaculate skin care routine?) aside, he'd bent over backwards for Lilith's little abominations. He tried to lead, they balked. He tried to protect, they deliberately misinterpreted his words. Teaching was never his forte, so finally Inarius was like, meh, have it your way -- haters gonna hate. Not a good dad. Inarius needed, needed, needed... he needed a cosmic mulligan. He came up with A PLAN(TM) to harness the humans' natural antipathy for one another, weeding out the weak and undesirable, and their limitless belief machine to work another miracle -- undo Sanctuary, and go back home, where things actually made sense; I mean after the Worldstone debacle (one does not deliberately cast out the mote from the Eye of Anu without more of a backup plan than "Oops", what was Tyrael thinking?!?) was there any doubt this whole "staying out of the fray", and "think of the humans" experiment was a gigantic mistake? Also, aside from Tyrael and *maybe* Auriel, I can't think of a single angel that wasn't completely off the rails insane, or so full of gobsmack with themselves they squeaked. Huh. Thinking about it that way, with the Cathedral of Light's ruthlessness and homicidal zealotry, separating the chaff from the wheat -- not that the Knights Penitent, and Prava herself, weren't just a mobile meat shield, but an angel's gotta do what an angel's gotta do -- Inarius' goals, or at least the madness to his methods, weren't that dissimilar to Lilith's own. Like the Spiderman meme. "You're the monster!" "No, you're the monster!" Just how the events seemed to unfold to me. Everyone's experience is different, and I'm thankful for that. What a boring story if everyone drew the same conclusions. Cheers!
I have to agree, I became team Lilith so quickly! Really hope she comes back, which I imagine she will. But we shall see! So quickly fell in love with Diablo, everyone kept saying "how have you never played this, it is so up your alley!" haha! Glad you enjoyed the video!! :D
*yawn* imagine still having to ride a months old hate-train just to have anything to say. Hating on stuff is not a good replacement for an actual personality.

Been playing Diablo from the start and that cinematic is my fav.
Me too, been playing since Diablo 1.
Silence will be their answer
Thats so Bad ass
One of the coolest cutscenes in videogame history 🤣
the voice actress for Lilith did an amazing job, the way she almost whispers certain letters... it's detestable, well done.

I love this stuff, I want a movie so bad.
hell doesn't have great health insurance
im still waiting for diablo in the diablo game lol...where is diablo?
this is the only thing Blizzard is good for these days, awesome cinamatics and not awesome games
Blizzard makes the best cinematic videos Ive ever seen... but their games have become straight trash!
Lilith did nothing wrong. She's the real hero of this entire tale.
high-quality cinematics are all that this game has...
season 4 has amazing game play changes and its a blast to play D4 now.
*yawn* imagine still having to ride a months old hate-train just to have anything to say. Hating on stuff is not a good replacement for an actual personality.
Yawn
