Will we fight gods?

Tyrael is only a angel so obviously there are higher rank people over him. Perhaps we will fight god(s)?

Dunno.... The Diablo lore has the same words like angel and demon, but with different meaning compared to real societies. There hasn't been anything to my knowledge about a higher being.... But that would be cool if something happened to end the "sin war"... Something that elemenated one of the elements of High Heavens, Burning Hells, or Earth.

He's an Archangel...which to my knowledge is as high as you go in the angelology...unless they change that ofc.

I doubt we'll see Gods... Diablo is more about demons and angels.

Anyway, I despise every plot or story where a hero gets to see/interact with a god, fight a god or defeat a god (worse). It's just too much, I mean gods are supposed to have created the world and all and they get defeat i mean WTF... (sorry if I seem angry about this i'm currently reading a series of book where, at the 11th tome, a dead guy defeats one of the highest gods. I almost barfed)

Actually, the Greek/Roman Gods were usupers of the Titans, who were the descendants of Eros who was said to have created the world.

There is a saying in Zen Buddhism that goes something like this: if you meet the Buddha, you have to try to kill him.

I want my d3 chr to become a god. I want special god status. Immortality too.

-When he picks up a white item, he drops it and it turns into a blue magic item.

-He bleeds gold whenever he looses hp's.

-Anything he trades in tradescreen has his aura tacked on as a mod.

-He can personalize infinite numbers of items.

-His 10 selected end game items get converted to perfect ones.

-He can resurect other players on the battlefield.

-He can create a man or a woman. Whoever clicks on this new chr gets to make a new chr with better starting stats.

-He can part rivers and just walk across without having to use a bridge. Or walk on water.

Hey, I'm just kidding.

The Diablo world of Sanctuary seems to mostly avoid the issue of whether true gods exist apart from the angelic and demonic hosts, and I like it that way. It makes the actions the supernatural characters far more ambiguous in motive and nature. Human religions in this world are mostly founded around angelic and demonic principles of light and darkness, good and evil, and order and chaos. The world naturally gravitates towards a well developed Manichean worldview.

In this game I do not expect that we will fight gods, but merely that the heavens shall tremble.

I think a fight against an ArchAngel could be extremely fun.

I hope that we don't need to go against the Light...Aren't we supposed to be fighting against the Darkness? I don't mind fighting against a traitorous fallen Archangel but fighting against pure good? Not so much...

I always thought the "light" and "dark" were closer to the representations in Todd Mcfarlane's "Spawn". That is the "light" isn't so much "pure good" as we think of it. It is hard to explain how it is represented in the comics. Although it seems almost toltalitarian, and has a "sacrifice a few to save many" slant.
