Did GGG hire the writers from Diablo 3?

"Hurts my eye just to look at. Those are definitely what we're looking for. Angles that don't make sense, shapes that shouldn't exist, and corner to trap the sight..."

Hi, we just met, but let's go rob some dude key to his vault. Remember that shit that exploded? Let's go install it on your hideout!

I generally ignore all the lore and dialogue but you're forgetting just how bad D3 was.

" It's sad, really, the lore has some weight(?) to it and the game just turns it into a "go that way and kill those generals and then talk to mom-tiddy Angiwomon on why one of her bros went rogue", with the whole origins of the Nef kinda tucked away in I've forgotten where. And PoE wasn't any better...the fuck are we chasing Pie-eat-y for to begin with? Just because she locked the fucking gate?! Everything after that seems to just be of consequence to me. |

"By Innocence's muscular golden arse..."
Best line in Path of Exile. |

" +1 to both of you. The incongruity between Piety being evidently well known to your character (though they never tell us why) and her not being known at all to YOU, the player, was pointed out to GGG back in beta. They didn't bother fixing it. D3 is its own level of suckiness, largely because of the horrible voice acting (whether that's the fault of the actors themselves or of the direction is hard for us to know, especially since a couple of them were actually good). GGG on the other hand has hired good voice actors/directors, at least recently. Wash your hands, Exile!

" POE tells the story directly at times, and indirectly through lore. If you're good at following pieces of info you get it. And Piety being known to the exiles makes sense. They were exiled from a city in which Piety was well known. And nowhere is it implied that the exiles know her personally, aside from the Scion which was part of the high class (their job is to know everyone). |

" To me, D3's awfulness was due to the shockingly bad writing. It was like they got a young teen to do all of the writing (Azmodan's monologues to the player "You'll never defeat me, I have X", "Oh, you defeated my X, you'll never get past my Y", "Oh, you killed my Y, you'll never get through my Z", etc), the "plot twists" that were as twisty as a pair of parallel lines in Euclidean geometry. And they killed off Cain to someone we'd never heard of before (if Diablo had killed him off, fair enough, big D finally kills off the last of the Horadrim, etc). |
