Is the game woke? So far I've only seen 1 minor instance,

It's not the absolute worst, but it's definitely there a lot.

Some examples are:

• Nearly every single 'leader' you run into, happens to be a woman. There are exceptions, but - by and large - it holds true.
• Every character that is a fuckup is a male, with the exception of maybe Neyrelle's mother, but even she is portrayed in mostly sympathetic light?
• They have an obligatory "surprise! they are gay lovers" big reveal moment in there, and it's every bit as eyerolling as it always is. Spoiler: basically, you'll get to this point where a female thief knows of someone that can help you, and when she suggests that you go find her, Lorath makes some sort of comment along the lines of "It seems like you have another motive for looking for her...". The second I heard it, my eyes literally rolled, and I thought, "HmMMM!!! I wonder what that reason is going to be???". As soon as the cutscene of you bringing her back to camp rolls, sure enough... I just don't understand at what fucking point will the developers stop patting themselves on the back for this trope??? It's just gotten so fucking tiresome. Are gay people really this desperate for this exact same scene to play out over, and over, over???
• The girl - Neyrelle - takes all the power out of your hands, and makes the final world deciding decision in the game. In fact, I can't really think of any decisions you were allowed to make. Neyrelle is basically the main character, and you just play your part of being the guy who kills stuff.
• The supposed "big-bad" in this installment - Lilith, who just so happens to be "female" (so much as a demon can claim to be?) - is basically portrayed in the most sympathetic light possible, and you are essentially chastised for not siding with her. In what previous Diablo game was the big-bad portrayed as being anything other than the most horrible thing possible? The fallen angel guy here - Inarius (male) - is characterized in an incredibly negative light; way worse than any of the demons.

So, anyway - yeah - it could obviously have been worse, but there is still plenty of it there. None of it really stopped me from enjoying the game (other than the constant feelings of, "Fuck, I'm so tired of this being the current-day reality...". My bigger problems are with the gameplay itself.

From what was available in D3, they have seriously cutback on the number of skills you have access to: both active, and passives. On top of that, the itemization just hasn't been that exciting. Everything feels like just plus a couple percent to this, plus a couple percent to that. The only exciting items that change up gameplay much are the oranges and now the uniques, and those just don't seem to have a big enough pool of affixes to pick from.

If I were pressed, I'd probably rate the game a 7 out of 10, or something like that. It just needs "more" to flesh it out / make it more enjoyable.

• They have the obligatory gay lover insert in there, and it's every bit as eyerolling as it always is. Spoiler: basically, you'll get to this point where a female thief knows of someone that can help you, and when she suggests that you go find her, Lorath makes some sort of comment along the lines of "It seems like you have another motive for looking for her...". The second I heard it, my eyes rolled, and I knew they were going to be gay lovers. As soon as there is the cutscene of you bringing her back to camp, sure enough... I just don't understand at what fucking point will the developers stop patting themselves on the back for this trope???
• The girl - Neyrelle - basically makes the final decision in the game for you.
• The supposed "big-bad" in this installment - Lilith, who just so happens to be "female" (so much as a demon can claim to be?) - is basically portrayed in the most sympathetic light possible, and you are virtually chastised for not siding with her.

So, anyway - yeah - it could obviously have been worse, but there is still plenty of it there.
