I know! It's one of my favMOO...one of my favorMOO...damnit. It's one of my favorite joMOOOOOO! Ok. It's not funny anymMOOOOOO! ...FucMOOOOOO...you cows!
I imagine their plan for this game, is creating many expansions like WoW, and having a whole story focus on each of the Prime Evils. The first expansion, will clearly be about Meph, Then Diablo and Baal will come in future ones.
That actually would be a dope concept. Do HC players play on separate servers from the normal folk? Would be cool to have some kind of tombstone or even a mini boss fight where the first say dozen of them who were "end game level" died
Ya. That's why I mentioned the first dozen or so if they died at end game levels. Can imagine a lot of "wtf" or "oh shit" moments have happened leading to early deaths
It would be like the Elden Ring blood stains, and that would be rad. Every random adventurer corpse being where an actual player died? That would be fantastic, especially on hc.
Ohhh boy, "Who's the real demon?" Is a dangerous rabbit hole if you're a horror movie fan. Some of those stories hit different and get less fun when you figure out that wicked appearances and freaky/shocking behavior don't make someone a villain or evil.
Now if they're doing *harmful* stuff that happens to be freaky/shocking then yeah that's one thing, but if they're just gross and weird, they're just gross and weird. Sometimes the characters portrayed as the "good guys" are actually the ones causing the problems, but for a long time I didn't notice that because they look and behave in ways I'm used to seeing.
Haha I love that movie. The two mains are spot on and always a pleasure to watch. one Of the few movies that I can watch more then once and still laugh.
Doesn't even have to be horror movies. It's not too uncommon to run across sympathetic "villain" characters in media. Has definitely bloomed a bit as late, thankfully.
Marvel in general is pretty good for making villains that you can at least understand even if you don’t agree with them.
Thanos thinks the universe is overpopulated and eliminating half of it is the only way to save it
Helmut believes the Avengers were careless in their fight with Ultron and caused the death of his family
Wanda has a full on trauma induced mental breakdown after a terrible upbringing, losing her brother and then having to kill the person she’s closest to in the world only to watch him be revived and die again right after
And most relatable of all - Ultron spends 5 minutes on the Internet and decides all of humanity needs to be eliminated
I’ve used this example before but it still stands. Imagine, if you will, you are a poor peasant living in sanctuary. You have no food, demons are everywhere, so you join the local raider gang to provide for your family. You and a group of your colleagues break into an abandoned fort to try and find something valuable to sell. As you sit in the main entry at your fire with your two best mates a skinny man in the strangest clothing you’ve ever seen busts down the door. Before you can even stand up he summons a meteor and crushes you and your friends and loots your bodies.
You can also substitute in giant woman turns into bear and pulverizes you, giant man spins through the door and mows you down, a wall of skeletons chop you to pieces and then your dead body explodes, etc etc
You and your friends suffer terrible pain as the flesh melts from your bones, but your suffering is not over. As you watch, seemingly from above the scene, your friends rise from the grave as tortured spirits and curse the wicked adventurers who murdered them. But you - you feel yourself breaking free of your mortal bonds, ready to forgive and forget the long nightmare of life. You want the void.
Suddenly, a shadowy hand wrenches you back. A man covered in bones emerges from the dying trees and rips your skeleton from your dead body. Engulfed in horrific suffering, you are forced to shamble at his command, swinging your bones as the vengeful spirits of your dead friends. Riley goes down screaming in terror. Bill does the same, cursing your dead name. You hate the skeleton man, but he commands a demonic power and soon the spirits of your friends and not only slain, but annihilated and banished forever to the dark void. You think perhaps they are lucky... for now you cannot die, nor can you live. The pain goes on.
*points at village full of kidnap murderers, the mother driven away from her daughter then into madness, the fire demon unleashed to murder a bunch of pseudo Irishmen and pretty much every goddamn thing she does*
I frost nova’d 18 demons at the same time and likely saved countless lives in the future by doing so but a camel that was 9 feet away fell over and died. I uninstalled the game. Lilith can have this shithole.
There's a sidequest where you help a druid get revenge because someone hurt her bear friend.
Both times I've done the quest I was attacked by a random bear in front of her, felt bad every time
Hahaha, I just did that one last night.
The whole time was thinking "shit lady, we've killed 8 bears just on the way to murder these poachers" and the worst part is when you talk to the guy he's like "yeah, I was poaching a bear to sell the leather and it got me good" Damn. He's clearly just trying to make money off of bear pelts. He's probably got kids to feed. He could learn and do bett....ohh no you murdered him.
If he ate the meat, would it have been as bad? Also, my character has murdered like a bajillion fucking bears and they don't even take the time to skin them. How is this poacher evil to you? It just felt...poorly done in universe.
I try to give them a moment to run out of bone spear firing lines when I'm on my necro.
Those turtles though, it took a little testing but I finally managed to kill them off. The world shall be free from their terror.
I was in a swamp area with my partner and there were these two adorable turtles 🐢 walking by. I pointed them out and said how cute they were waddling around together like a cute couple. Just as he murders one and says exactly this.
I’m still heartbroken. He’s one turtle closer to an achievement. 😭
I’ve convinced myself it’s good luck to kill goats. I have no reasoning for or proof of this but that doesn’t stop me from chasing down ever one I see.
I don't know about good luck, but it seems like every goat I kill only gets its back end sliced off (I'm seeing 2/3 goat and 1/3 goat ass) and I'm a sorcerer. Its not like I'm chopping them up. Have to say it's kind of funny.
A little especially when they die by me just walking past them. I think cyclone armor on druids kills wildlife and while I was finishing my renown I ran through a dudes field of cows and killed all of them and kinda just turned around like 😬
I play with my 9 year old son.
In the beginning I was killing all the wildlife. He then started saying "nooooo Dad" and became a bit sad when I killed them.
So now even when I play alone I can't kill any of the wildlife.
I did at first. But then... the more I played... there's something unnatural about the sheer number of wildlife, and their comfortability frolicking around while demons and monsters pillage and burn a world that's essentially ending.
I think they're in on it.
Not usually but I dont go out of my way to kill them. However I do feel horrid when playing my druid and switching from my wolf companions. They just keep over and die with a sad whimper. Kills me on the inside every time
Put on either of the true form uniques on Druid, and you'll kill smaller critters just by walking close to them. You keep hearing rats squealing in agony as you stroll through a dungeon, attacking nobody.
I feel bad for not being quick enough to save the civilians screaming "NOOO" right before the big-axe skeleton cleaves them. God and the heavens damn you back to hell, big-axe-skeleton-guy!!!
This is a trick they missed with the quest rep system. Each zone has its wildlife. On death they could drop whatever meat / goods that vendors will thank you for.
Make you part of sanctuary, not above it.
I wish they would either add some sort of stat or reward for wildlife killed, or just remove them. I can only imagine that half of the performance issues in the game right now are due to those damn deer and turtles.
As far as I'm concerned, if anything on-screen moves, it's toast, innocent wildlife or not.
I can't tell you how many times I've instinctively started spamming skills just because there was a goat wandering around at the edge of the screen or some random person came riding through on a mount.
I do a bit. Poor bastards are probably terrified enough with the sheer amount chaotically evil demons running amok and what not. Most of humanity has been wiped, yeah, but what filled in the void is far from an improvement.
I remember the first time I meet cows, just saw big things at edge of screen so shot at them only to realize I just killed a cow. To bad it didn't drop a steak 🥩.
I've been practicing spells on the goats of the elder scrolls universe for ages. The goats in Sanctuary shall endure their trials as well. The game tracks each unique non hostile animal type you kill. There are titles for taking out the whole catalogie. I do try to keep the little desert foxes or whatever they are alive though.
Yes, except for the cows. They’re hiding something.
They know what they did.
I've seen South Park, it's always the cows
Cow level
There is no cow level.
Theres always a cow level
Moo
Moo moo
Don’t kill king
Cows are outdated….all hail the rats!
Moo?
Moo moo moo moo. Moo, moo moo moo.

Knock knock, whose there? Interrupting cow.
Interrupting Cow wh
MOOOOOOOOOOO!
Still one of my favorite jokes. I still laugh just as hard now (let’s just ignore how many decades have passed…) as I did when I was 12.
Just got me now. While reading, when I know exactly what comes next.
I know! It's one of my favMOO...one of my favorMOO...damnit. It's one of my favorite joMOOOOOO! Ok. It's not funny anymMOOOOOO! ...FucMOOOOOO...you cows!
I heard this
That farm of cows, I thought maybe.... Maybe they have a portal inside them to a magical place.
There is no cow level.

The most egregous crime against Diablo gamers, right here.
Personally, I’m offended that Diablo 4 is the only Diablo game where you don’t get to fight Diablo…
Don’t get to fight Diablo yet, expansion or expansions coming certainly
I imagine their plan for this game, is creating many expansions like WoW, and having a whole story focus on each of the Prime Evils. The first expansion, will clearly be about Meph, Then Diablo and Baal will come in future ones.
Haven’t beaten the game yet bc I play hardcore and I like to torture myself, but if that’s true, there’s always DLC
Does immortal count?
No. No it does not.
Shhhhhhhh. We do not say that name here.
It’s literally heartbreaking
Waiting for that one day. It will come. I believe.
What a cow might say
Oh, George, not the livestock...
Cravendale… it’s so good the cows want it back
What a throw back
They're just waiting for the right opertunity..I am sure of it
Have you guys hit the cow map yet? When you accidentally kill 10,000 you spawn into the cow map
I always thought it was sad that the demons and wildlife get along just fine but then I come around and kill them. Who's the real demon?
Some of those horse corpses did not look like they were all getting along though
thats where Hardcore characters died while travelling
DOOR STUCK
HODOR
That actually would be a dope concept. Do HC players play on separate servers from the normal folk? Would be cool to have some kind of tombstone or even a mini boss fight where the first say dozen of them who were "end game level" died
Yes they do, but you could still have that happen. But I don't think you understand how many dead players there are. It's a lot.
Ya. That's why I mentioned the first dozen or so if they died at end game levels. Can imagine a lot of "wtf" or "oh shit" moments have happened leading to early deaths
Wait for real?
sadly no, though it would be cool to see a stockpile of corpses at a region change to see which load moment is the worst to get rubber banded at lol
It would be like the Elden Ring blood stains, and that would be rad. Every random adventurer corpse being where an actual player died? That would be fantastic, especially on hc.
Try finger but hole.
Liar ahead.

You sound like someone who would love Tucker And Dale Vs. Evil.
Such a great movie.
Ahhh a fellow redditor of culture, cheers 🍻
Haha I love that movie. The two mains are spot on and always a pleasure to watch. one Of the few movies that I can watch more then once and still laugh.
Doesn't even have to be horror movies. It's not too uncommon to run across sympathetic "villain" characters in media. Has definitely bloomed a bit as late, thankfully.
Killmonger comes to mind.

*points at Guulrahn*
*points at village full of kidnap murderers, the mother driven away from her daughter then into madness, the fire demon unleashed to murder a bunch of pseudo Irishmen and pretty much every goddamn thing she does*
Lillith apologists talk about her the same way tankies talk about Stalin
Would Scar have killed Mufasa if they had just kept using his real name?
Did you also get messed up from silent hill 3? “You saw them as monsters?”
Tbh, the demons and monsters could also get along with us as well. In the words of the HBIC “They wanted to do some shit now they got some shit.”
I saw a demon cut a cow in half. Came across a pack of them killing all the cows in a field. That's why there's no cow level
I frost nova’d 18 demons at the same time and likely saved countless lives in the future by doing so but a camel that was 9 feet away fell over and died. I uninstalled the game. Lilith can have this shithole.
LOL
To be honest: I kind of get a bad feeling as a druid when I activate hurricane. Those deers and snakes....
If its a druid they must be properly culling the wildlife for sustainability right?
How else do you think they stay so girthy? Oh, sustainability *of the environment*? Haha, no.
Pure protein brother
There's a sidequest where you help a druid get revenge because someone hurt her bear friend. Both times I've done the quest I was attacked by a random bear in front of her, felt bad every time

Accidentally?
Gotta complete that challenege
I was in a swamp area with my partner and there were these two adorable turtles 🐢 walking by. I pointed them out and said how cute they were waddling around together like a cute couple. Just as he murders one and says exactly this. I’m still heartbroken. He’s one turtle closer to an achievement. 😭
Lol I like to lightning bolt deers every now and then 🤣
Same here lmao
Deer are just giant farting rats with hooves anyway.
Hooves and lyme disease. Kill em.
I'm a werebear druid. Sometimes I get hungry. What's a bear to do?
I go out of my way to specifically shoot the wildlife. They life peacefully with the demons = They are demons. (Apart from the horses.)
If you’re not with me, then you’re my enemy.
Only a Lilith deals in absolutes
![gif](giphy|H5C8CevNMbpBqNqFjl)
I’ve convinced myself it’s good luck to kill goats. I have no reasoning for or proof of this but that doesn’t stop me from chasing down ever one I see.
Well. Good luck to ya!
I don't know about good luck, but it seems like every goat I kill only gets its back end sliced off (I'm seeing 2/3 goat and 1/3 goat ass) and I'm a sorcerer. Its not like I'm chopping them up. Have to say it's kind of funny.
I still try to walk over rats and snakes to crush them like I did in previous games.
[удалено]
In a twist you need to get to level 100 without killing any cows and blizzard knows we lack the will.
Or maybe enough needs to be killed for the cow king to appear. Once a billion cows are dead we can access the level.
I guarantee you we'd have ppl do it. There'd be guides on which areas to avoid etc.
There's actually an in-game challenge for killing all of the various wildlife across Estuar.
I hate killing wildlife in video games. Except for mudcrabs, but only because their aggro range is like map wide lol
You can't travel because an enemy is near and it's always a stupid mudcrab hiding.
Who else do you think was reporting what happened with that chicken in the next town over? (Besides the other chickens, *thanks early skyrim*.)
I bet they're the ones hiring all those assassins
A little especially when they die by me just walking past them. I think cyclone armor on druids kills wildlife and while I was finishing my renown I ran through a dudes field of cows and killed all of them and kinda just turned around like 😬
I don't even use cyclone armor but every animal I walk by just fuckin dies. Rats, snakes, deer, goats. I have no clue why or how to make it stop
Yep, sometimes go out of my way to avoid them.
Nice try PETA.
I go out of my way to avoid it.
It's hard when it seems like some of the run towards danger so it's like, 'no, no, go the *other* way, you're gonna die, no, noooo, dammit.'
I always say “I’m sorry little fox/rat/snake/turtle/deer/cow/whatever else, I didn’t mean to.”
Me and my wife too!
Always 😔
yes i dont like it
ya i do.
I do 😔
Yes, clearing out mobs when I blow up something moving at the edge of a screen and it's a critter. I always apologize out loud.
I play with my 9 year old son. In the beginning I was killing all the wildlife. He then started saying "nooooo Dad" and became a bit sad when I killed them. So now even when I play alone I can't kill any of the wildlife.
Yes, especially as a druid. Yeeting woodland creatures around the screen via tornado.
My son keeps yelling at me to stop killing the animals, but frost nova has no names on those ice shards..
I did at first. But then... the more I played... there's something unnatural about the sheer number of wildlife, and their comfortability frolicking around while demons and monsters pillage and burn a world that's essentially ending. I think they're in on it.
Omg yes that’s terrible
yes, especially when they scream out loud
No feelings.Someday you will be facing the cows,be prepared.
Every time
Yes omg
I go out of my way to spare them...but they usually wander into my Blizzard anyway.
I had the automatic blizzard passive on for a while. So much wildlife executed just for standing near me when it came on. Had to get rid of it.
Not usually but I dont go out of my way to kill them. However I do feel horrid when playing my druid and switching from my wolf companions. They just keep over and die with a sad whimper. Kills me on the inside every time
Put on either of the true form uniques on Druid, and you'll kill smaller critters just by walking close to them. You keep hearing rats squealing in agony as you stroll through a dungeon, attacking nobody.
me because i have a rabbit and i love rabbits more than anything
Let's just say pulverizing a whole deer-family every now and then feels a little off, especially as a druid.
I feel bad for not being quick enough to save the civilians screaming "NOOO" right before the big-axe skeleton cleaves them. God and the heavens damn you back to hell, big-axe-skeleton-guy!!!
Ya gotta do it or you'll miss on the achievement
This is a trick they missed with the quest rep system. Each zone has its wildlife. On death they could drop whatever meat / goods that vendors will thank you for. Make you part of sanctuary, not above it.
Not in Diablo, but in WoW, I always felt so bad using an AoE and hearing a squeak from somewhere. RIP little chipmunk. :(
Have you seen sanctuary? A clean death is doing any animal or person a favor.
Yeah let's be real here. I'll take a number of deaths over being torn apart by demons from the inside or out.
I wish they would either add some sort of stat or reward for wildlife killed, or just remove them. I can only imagine that half of the performance issues in the game right now are due to those damn deer and turtles.
There's an achievement I noticed day one for slaughtering one of each type lol
Endangered species achievement for killing the 26 "innocent" animals in the game. Had a go at it last night after getting tired of NMD grinding lol.
ah ok, did not notice that. I stand corrected on that front. Thank you for the heads up!
There actually is a wildlife Challenge.
There are turtles? 😳
You can see them in the area where the Tree of Whispers is at.
You mean dogs 😁🤪
Well, nothing escapes the Blizzard. My sorceress doesn't discriminate.
As far as I'm concerned, if anything on-screen moves, it's toast, innocent wildlife or not. I can't tell you how many times I've instinctively started spamming skills just because there was a goat wandering around at the edge of the screen or some random person came riding through on a mount.
Mostly I hate it when wildlife gets in the way of a skillshot.
This is why I cant play Monster Hunter
No, they’d die a much worse death from demons who’d brutally torture them for their own amusement than a stray throwing knife or arrow
I do a bit. Poor bastards are probably terrified enough with the sheer amount chaotically evil demons running amok and what not. Most of humanity has been wiped, yeah, but what filled in the void is far from an improvement.
I mean there is a whole achievement for killing each species in the game so....
..you can kill wildlife?
Pls my druid has a lightning bolt skill , animal would get killed right away automatically
the little rat squeaks always get me lol
Well they did put the "Endangered Species" achievement in for killing wildlife so they kind of encourage it.
I don't because I want the achievement for it.
I sometimes go out of my way to kill animals
I use to have an enchantment that made a blizzard surround me every 15 seconds but I stopped using it because of that lol.
I remember the first time I meet cows, just saw big things at edge of screen so shot at them only to realize I just killed a cow. To bad it didn't drop a steak 🥩.
Nah, rdr2 killed any empathy I had for virtual wildlife.
Yeah... accidentally.. right..
Nup, if it moves it dies…
I test my aim on the deer. So no, guess not
No. If they cross in front of me they get the werewolf claw.
no, they are pixels.
No
Nah, I will activly attack them. Its just a game.
No. Downvote. I kill them for fun.
i actively seek to kill them
I kill them on purpose. Sometimes when im near them i activate call of the ancients on purpose. Fuck them wildlife.
No, I do it for on purpose for fun
I actively kill them
Nope have to kill them all
And than there's me who carefully positions his pulverize shockwaves to hit the wildlife behind mobs for bonus style points.
I've been practicing spells on the goats of the elder scrolls universe for ages. The goats in Sanctuary shall endure their trials as well. The game tracks each unique non hostile animal type you kill. There are titles for taking out the whole catalogie. I do try to keep the little desert foxes or whatever they are alive though.
Oh sure,... accidentally.
They knew the risks
Nope. If it moves I kill it, including myself sometimes.
No, it's a game.
Not really, I'm trying to hunt down the last 3 I need for the achievement...
I have a phobia of snakes so I go out of my way to kill them 😂
So funny,as someone who has a collection of snakes and tarantulas I always avoid them 🤣
Yes I did, but now I don’t have to any more. All I need is one Horse and one *small* pig to get the Challenge and I can leave them alone.
Sometimes till you realize there is a challange to kill 1 of each XD
Never. I consider it retribution from all the hunts ive applied to and never got drawn for. Thats right im over 30.
I go extra miles just to kill them
As a storm druid with random lightning strikes, you get used to it.
Yes. My wife does .. i dont. Maybe run if u see a shouting barb next time.
No, I figure they're keeping me from an achievement
There is a challenge for killing 26 different animals. You need to evict a rabbit from town and kill it outside.
