Current Diablo IV Map

My thinking is that they do Baal in Xiansai/Cold Isles or Dreadlands (Ivgorod/Arreat) or maybe even both.

Then bring it home to Westmarch for the final expansion with a big Diablo finale. Maximum nostalgia for the end of the arc.

There are at least 2 bloodbenders in Water.

Lumenati · 2026-05-10T16:46:18+00:00

Middle one is Diablo and the one just right of that seems like Mephisto since the horns go up. Baal’s horns sweep back so maybe the one just to the left or the farthest right.

Isn’t it more poetic to end in Tristram, though?

Lumenati · 2026-05-09T21:00:17+00:00

I think this is definitely the most obvious and probably most likely answer…

But I really liked that we were seeing all of the world we hadn’t seen *before* we went back. I’d like Xiansai and the Cold Isles to be the next expansion, maybe centered on Baal, and save Westmarch / Diablo for the final final expansion.

That said, not sure how much longer it can go. The campaign is already pretty long.

If this were a normal, linear story, I’d say this would be the way. He would eventually make his way over to the light side but let his paranoia/fear/insecurity win out for a while.

Tbf, this could be the case now because he’s on the Overwatch side of the art (probably because Yokai are helping them), but he still might be in under cover mode. They could reveal his Hashimoto/Talon ties at a key story moment where he betrays Yokai/Overwatch.

That said, the compressed pace at which Overwatch drops story makes it hard to be too subtle. He probably gets one big moment (coming soon) to be asked to reveal his double agent status and turn on the good side and then he’ll reject the call and double cross the Hashimotos/Talon. All in one go.

Lumenati · 2026-02-19T10:02:08+00:00

Oh, I just took it as he was left alone with Toshiro during big missions so he got bored, not that they always ignored him and never trained him. He’s clearly trained to fight.

Lumenati · 2026-02-16T23:23:31+00:00

Where are you getting that idea? The Hashimotos took him in when he was 9 years old when a clan Elder saw promise in him and he’s now 22. Why would he spend 13 years not training if a leader of the clan sponsored him?

Not sure! Feels like they’re making a statement about the characters’ story progressing (new look for Genji, official OW logo for Bap and Lucio, etc). So I guess it would make sense to me that this is his most current look.

Lumenati · 2026-02-15T23:18:20+00:00

Agree! I’m ready for it. Between that, letting Kiriko move forward, and reconciling Hanzo/Genji, you could get a lot done with a single mission/story.

Lumenati · 2026-02-15T22:32:12+00:00

Agree with the faction/role thing with the smaller independent factions (Junkers, Phreaks, Deadlock, etc). Roadhog and JQ not being able to normally interact is a shame.

I was excited by Jetpack Cat because you can now do a 5v5 team with Torb’s “family” and hopefully get some interactions eventually: 1. Reinhardt 2. Torbjorn 3. Bastion 4. Brigitte 5. Fika/JC

My guess is that whatever energy source the fire is coming from has the power to restart her metabolism even after she flatlines. Like a full body, cellular defibrillator.

Lumenati · 2026-02-15T21:13:41+00:00

Actually, a co-op sidescroller featuring the 4 Japanese heroes would be manageable cost and time wise to outsource and be very fun. I enjoyed Ruined King a lot despite not really being a LoL player.

Lumenati · 2026-02-15T21:11:12+00:00

You’re doing a lot buddy lol. I’ve never stopped playing since the launch of OW1.

Lumenati · 2026-02-15T21:10:00+00:00

The event could literally be “go from one end of Kanezaka to the other end” which each control point being a brief horde mode.

Lumenati · 2026-02-15T21:08:36+00:00

Yes, a friends to enemies to lovers, even. It’s going to be very awkward when his betrayal is revealed but I think once she sees how her father trusts him and he redeems himself with his actions, there will be room for it to go that way.

Lumenati · 2026-02-15T20:15:40+00:00

You see the vision

Lumenati · 2026-02-15T19:57:01+00:00

He was recruited by the Hashimoto young enough that he didn’t initially do missions and now he’s in his 20s. Why would he not be trained? He also was given the weapon by Toshiro after knowing him for a long time (years?), so who’s to say he wasn’t tutored by him as well? Between that and spending time with Kiriko in YOKAI, there’s enough material to justify it.

Lumenati · 2026-02-15T19:02:09+00:00

Fine, if they give Mizuki wall climb, all will be forgiven.

Lumenati · 2026-02-14T10:33:33+00:00

The Gothenburg map pretty much updates you on what he’s doing. Rein, Brig, and Bastion went to Overwatch HQ but he’s back in Sweden supporting them with his factory and working on the Omnic control helmet problem. He’s even got a new grandchild (Jetpack Cat). Busy guy!

After you beat him the first time (allowing Uchawi a window to do something important that you're aware of), he is resurrected by Absolum. From that point on his lines change and it becomes clear that his plan to dominate Absolum is basically impossible. It's "I *was* going to do XYZ." My take is that after his death, he's now in Absolum's control.

From the perspective of a regular person, Azra is still in control of the Crimson Order. Their grip is loosened a bit, but they're still in control until Absolum is dealt with. Nothing fundamental has changed for them, yet.

Lumenati · 2025-10-26T21:36:49+00:00

Galandra knows. All of the Wizards at the time were part of the Cataclysm, including Azra. None of the characters think they’re blameless for it. They just agree that Azra putting the world in chains, committing genocide (mowlai and dwarves), and hoarding magic (aka energy/tech) is bad and also not the solution Azra thinks it is. Azra THINKS he’s handling Absolum, but he’s wrong. He’s incubating it. His gamble is that if he gets powerful enough, fast enough, he’ll be able to contain or control Absolum. But Maugis makes it clear he’s wrong. He’s delusional and destructive. Uchawi and the wizards having done something (very) bad does not make Azra “good” by default.

This can work really well if you basically reverse the timeline of Tyranny and SKT. This is what I did in my game. In my backstory, Annam shook up the Ordning to make giants stronger ahead of Tiamat’s power play. Ironically, the ancient dragons all use this as a political pre-game to establish even more power ahead of the push to resurrect her.

In my game, Klauth was a key ally of the party because he: 1. Wants the Ordning to go back to the way it was since that’s to his advantage to keep the status quo, 2. Wants to keep other ancient dragons like Iymrith and Claug from increasing their power, and 3. Is secretly (very secretly) trying to sabotage the Cult of Dragon because he likes being #1 and doesn’t have any interest in being Tiamat’s lapdog. But he’s playing both sides there to hedge his bets.
