    Angels and demons have been killing each other since the dawn of creation so I don’t see Lilith’s actions as any different or any more ruthless.

    You think she is the lesser of the two evils, excuse the pun, in this particular situation? She made the same choice, to resort to mass murder of her brother and sisters, instead of letting a mass murder of Nephalem take place – eye for an eye and the whole world goes blind.

    Actually, she committed mass murder because she feared her son, Rathma would be killed… she didn’t care about humanity. She only cared about her spawn…

    spoiler

    and now that we know Rathma is dead, what better will she be? that is the point, she has nothing to care about anymore. What little she cared for humanity died with Rathma; and we see that cruelty and malice with how she dealt with Inarius (not saying Inarius is innocent, but…)

      Don’t get me wrong, I think she’s terrible in the grand scheme of things. I just think that humanity being descendants of the Nephalem have more interests that align with Lilith compared to Mephisto and that might ultimately lead to a change in the never ending eternal conflict. For example, I think she would have wanted to protect Sanctuary itself, whereas both the heavens and the hells wouldn’t give two shits about destroying it if it served their purposes. I also disagree about the part where she didn’t care about humanity, because humanity is just essentially the children of her spawn. Plus, wasn’t Uldyssian a human who later regained his Nephalem powers? So its there, just hidden by the Worldstone tweaks that Inarius did.

      and we see that cruelty and malice with how she dealt with Inarius

      If my “husband” murdered my son and then impaled me through a wall with a spear and I was in a position to do something about it after the fact, I’d stab and kill him too lol.

      Lilith isn’t great…I just don’t think Mephisto is the answer. That’s what I mean by choosing the lesser evil…he’s the worse choice out of the two. At least humanity has a bond with Lilith through being part of her extended family.

      One question for you since you seem knowledgeable about the lore: What happened to the Nephalem after D3? In D3 the player character is a nephalem and in D4 we’re just some random human as far as I know. And that’s fine. I just want to know what happened to the player characters of D3 in the transit to D4.
