For me it's Diablo II. Granted I've played my fair share of D2 since launch, and also recently on a private server with a comrade from hexbear, but I still feel like years later the game didn't grab me as much as D1 did.

Granted I don't hate D2, but for a game that I keep coming back to, D1 takes the prize.

I didn't hate Sylvanas as much as I wished she was written better and wasn't just presented as yet another "corrupted" victim with "corrupted" victim motivations.

Especially funny since in the original Warcraft 3 campaign she gets killed and revived as a ghost-like Banshee. Then in the expansion for the game she plays a bigger role in the story, so naturally the devs decided they had to retcon her to be a "sexy" undead elf after all. They were so close to accidentally having a non-sexualised female main character lol

I hate that too.

Kerrigan, for a time, almost worked as a "corrupted but willingly owning it" villain in Starcraft Brood War, but nooooooo it's time for DudeBro McManPain to rescue his waifu, ignoring his promise to put a bullet in her at the end of Brood War in the process. debord-tired
