All of the villains act like complete morons, every time one of them opened their mouths it was like verbal diarrhea mixed with cliché stereotypical statements. From the very beginning, the mystery that was in the d1 and d2 story was lost, it was just cartoon character villains announcing their plans, then follow the yellow arrow to victory.
EXAMPLES:
The “while you were out derping I was in your town wrecking your shit” card was played not once, not twice, but three times.
Cain got killed by some random moth lady… COMMON!!!!
The characters that were going to betray you could be seen from miles away, and afterwards the only reasoning they came up with was “lol, I’m evil.” For instance, when you meet Zulton Kule he’s opening a door for you and he goes “I’ll open the door for you…MUAHAHAHA!!” WHO ADD DIABOLICAL LAUGHTER AFTER OPENING A DOOR?! imagine doing that at the bank, or on a date. “here let me get the door for you…. MUAHAHAHAHA!!!” Oh and Leah found her long lost mother, great!!…. my character: “be careful leah, things aren’t always how they seem.” WHY SHOULD LEAH BE CARFUL, HUH??!!!
Belial is supposed to be the “lord of lies” yet at one point my character said something like “I know it’s you belial, you’re not fooling anybody.” Who could Belial be? definitely not this tiny looking emperor that magically teleports around and has special powers to open doors for you and provides you with information out of nowhere, or maybe the fact that his guards turn into demons might give that away.
Azmodan was supposed to be a master tactition yet it seemed like his IQ was about 40, he appeared every 20 secs saying something like “HEY SO UH JUST SECRETLY SENT A SECRET ARMY INTO YOUR FORT’S BASEMENT IN SECRET, THOUGHT YOU OUGHT TO KNOW, OK TALK TO YOU LATER”.
