Diablo 4 has been rocking charts. The game is being poised as one of the contenders for this year’s GOTY award and many of us strongly feel the game’s appeal. Within days of its release, the devs introduced a steroid-fueled mega boss and fans couldn’t stop trying to take the Uber Lilith down and win the highest rewards. The devs also looked focused on making sure that Diablo 4 delivered the unique experience that it had promised.

While the Redditor has his own views on the matter, they seem to be curious as to what others think about Lilith’s arc in Diablo 4. Hence, a discussion had to be called for.
Community split over the issue
Since the post came to light, fans have come forward to speak their minds on the issue. While we do see many fans agreeing with the original post’s views, there also isn’t any shortage of players who think Lilith got what she deserved. This fan thinks the original post may be trivializing Lilith’s actions a bit. Saying her actions weren’t “good” is an understatement.
This player still thinks everyone playing Diablo 4 should get to make their own in-game choices. In case you aren’t comfortable with that, he suggests you should play something else.
Another fan thinks Lilith makes a powerful case for herself and they would’ve loved to join the cause.
Another fan is of the opinion that while Lilith might make sense at times, her greater goal is just too twisted to comply with.
This fan thinks Blizzard may be hot-wired to take away agency from the players: they just can’t help it.
