Part of the fun of rolling a new character in those games is being able to make a different set of choices and seeing how they play out in the gameworld. That’s why I love Pillars of Eternity, Planescape: Torment, and Skyrim and I’m stoked for Torment: Tides of Numenera and Tyranny. My focus now is on story-driven games where the replayability comes from your choices rather than your loot. But my taste in games has changed since D3’s release. Far from it. I’ve spent over 430 hours in Sanctuary, and I enjoyed every minute. The investment is too steep, and the reward too nebulous. I’m just reluctant to spend hours and hours and hours killing monsters in the hope that I’ll be favored by the RNG. It’s bearable when you’re leveling and getting new abilities, but once you’ve unlocked everything, it becomes tedious. I’d probably enjoy it more if I were more invested in the loot hunt. This isn’t because I think the items are bad or uninteresting. They both feel pointless after a while. In Campaign Mode, you have a purpose in Adventure Mode, you’re just grinding for the sake of grinding. I don’t particularly enjoy doing rifts or even bounties. I could keep going in order to rack up paragon points, but that whole system feels bland. The points themselves feel like naked game mechanics, and it’s hard to see them as achievements when they’re shared among all your characters.

I think the bottom line is that there’s nothing left for me to do in D3 now that I’ve reached level 70 with almost every character.

But my excitement was short lived, and I’ve been trying to figure out why that is. The Necromancer was one of my favorite characters in Diablo II, and I’d love to have a chance to play him again.

The biggest news is that the fan-favorite Necromancer will be added to the game as a special DLC pack, but there will also be a number of smaller additions as well, including two new areas and some quality-of-life improvements to the UI. Initially, I was excited by this news. Blizzard used the Blizzcon opening ceremony to announce a bunch of new stuff for Diablo III.
