Paladin!

 I pre-purchased Diablo IV: Lord of Hatred expansion tonight. I gave the new Paladin class a try.

Initial impressions of Diablo IV

This was something I wrote a year ago. I wonder why I didn't publish it.

From 12th June 2023 my initial impressions of Diablo IV:

• Drab drab drab. Everything is decrepit and run down, faded colours. Ugh. Extreme poverty. I am still in Act 1. It will change.
  
  
• Gameplay. I have five characters of all the classes up to level 20. It remains faithful to D3, D2, etc. The Necromancer has many of the same skills. Yet, there are differences. The skill tree is now a matrix.
  
  
• The game seemingly has a very strong Catholic feel about it. Exorcism, reverend mothers, priests, burnings of heretics, penance, confession and more.
  
  
• Monsters. So far, I see the same monsters as in previous instalments.
  
  
• So far so good, I am enjoying it.
  
  
  

Uninstalling Diablo IV

I played the campaign and enjoyed levelling my necromancer to level 51. After which I stopped, I could not bear to continue to level 100. The story was silly, the campaign tedious and I could not imagine myself playing more. I did play my druid, barbarian, rogue and sorcerer to level 31-32. I have uninstalled last week. It was just enough.

New Diablo 4 patch

There is a lot of anger over the new patch. Phew! I have uninstalled. In any case, my characters are too low level to be affected.

Diablo IV uninstalled

Diablo IV uninstalled. A decent game, well-crafted but visually dull. The content is just boring and the story is silly. I will say more about it later.

Enough of it for now, maybe, I will play more when the expansion is released.

I have a level 51 necromancer, level 31 rogue, level 33 druid, level 33 barbarian and a level 32 sorcerer. I realise that I was bored.

 I tried Diablo IV tonight, not bad.
