Facing down hordes of squamous tentacled from doris89592's blog

Diablo 3: Reaper of Diablo IV Gold Souls demonstrates the value of adding new antagonists to Diablo. Malthael was a daunting and sinister antagonist, but he wasn't a demon -- he was an angel. This was a very different kind of challenge for players. Uncanny situations like that are valuable when creating dark fantasy.


The fallen angels and Reapers that served as Malthael's minions made for a more complicated but equally intimidating group of enemies compared to Diablo's army. What's more, revisiting the High Heavens helped the narrative by contrasting brutal combat with a supposedly holy setting. 


If Diablo 4 introduced eldritch horrors from another plane of existence, odds are that players would get the chance to visit their realm, even to some limited degree. The mind-boggling and unsettling kind of horror offered by settings in the style of Lovecraft would be a strong contrast to the gore and cruelty associated with demons. 


Facing down hordes of squamous tentacled creatures or unpredictable shapeshifting hulks also communicates Diablo's tone in its own way. Such eldritch horrors could get unique magical abilities or randomized mechanics that make them hard to predict and always fresh to fight. 


Whether creatures like these became campaign detours or high-level postgame content, it would give Blizzard a more diverse setting. One more value of adding enemies like Diablo 4 buy Gold these is that it could help carry the franchise forward into a new age.
