I hope 3.19 is a huge lore content league

I don't expect anything as overt as a new story act or anything like that. GGG has shown that their game is designed and balanced around the end-game mapping side of things. Honestly I wish they'd just stop trying to force everyone through the acts at this point and give people who've done it a million times an alternate way to get to maps, which is clearly the actual game part of their game.

Getting back to the point of the thread, my thought was for them to include more of the mechanical/optional storytelling, like how you could talk to the Kalgurans who each had their own personalities/goals/thematic/antagonist bits going, or how Scourge had that bit where there were no Scourge monsters in Vaal Temple maps (though that may have just been a bug). Item descriptions and stuff that lets players who want to understand what's going on from a story perspective dig in and theorize.

It was lame that The Last to Die pretty much said all they had once you picked up the crucible and there was nothing more to learn. No narrative progression within the league mechanic.

Yeah, I've played a lot too (though apparently only 1/10th your playtime) before I really thought to try and figure out why my character was doing anything. It's actually kind of funny, as I picked up a lot of what was happening just by having to punch the same people in the face so many times going through the Acts.

The lore stuff I enjoy is mostly having the ability to notice stuff, like how the Maven develops her attitude over time, or why the exile wakes up on the beach to begin with. It's nice to see how things happen in-universe; I feel like it makes the game world feel more real.

I was a little sad they didn't give Jun a new dialogue option when Zana left.

They can add things that add to both. The Atziri expansion was a good example of adding content and lore. Since this is an expansion, not to be confused with the league, there is a good chance there will be some lore with it.

That's a good point. I assumed it was a league, given how interchangeably people use those two terms, and how recent the last expansion was, but checking again it definitely is an expansion, so that bodes well.

Well...that was anticlimactic.
