Diablo 3 Expansion Pack: Reaper of Souls

 

We just got the Diablo 3: Reaper of Souls expansion pack!!! I’m super excited because I love Diablo 3 a bunch!!!! You can read my review of Diablo 3 here. I have not played enough of Reaper of Souls to write about it yet. All I can say is that I am so happy to have something new for the whole Diablo atmosphere!

To make a point of how much I lurvz this game, I have played through it on Inferno mode, (the highest level), AND visited all the Whimsyshire worlds in each of those levels. AND I have played through the game from start to finish to hear the perspective of the characters of the Monk, the Barbarian, the Wizard, and am now working on going through it as the Witchdoctor and then the Demon Hunter! I am taking my time with those last two because I just don’t want it to be over! Now with the expansion pack I can go ahead and either truck through the other two characters, or save those two like I have been and complete the entire Reaper of Souls expansion pack without feeling like I don’t want to finish it. I think I’ll do the second of those options.

Right now, Master Betty (my gaming sensei), and I are playing Reaper of Souls together with pre-existing characters because your saves transfer!! Well, Reaper of Souls shows up on the game as Act V, so you have to have played through Act IV to get to it. It also has a new character to play as: the Crusader, and to play as him you have to start from the very beginning. I was too excited to see the new Act V to wait and play through the entire game again with the Crusader just yet, so we picked up with some existing characters and started right away with Act V. It’s great so far and just new enough to hook me! I’m really glad that when we finish it, there will be a reason to play through the entire game all over again to hear things from the Crusader’s perspective!!

Vast Imagination/Dark, Shallow, Recesses

 

*While driving home from the grocery*

Starling: All right. Let’s do some imagination stimulation. I’ll go first. See those three kids over there; one on a bike, another on a skateboard, and one in the strange contraption they have connected to the bike? They’re on an adventure. Right now this town is in great danger, but none of us would believe them if they told us. An evil vampire, of course, and his creepy ghoul have kidnapped bike-guy’s little sister and the girl who was babysitting her. He’s totally in love with the babysitter. They’re rushing haphazardly across the street right now because they’ve just found out where he’s keeping her and they have to get there before the vampire sacrifices his little sister and turns his girlfriend into his vampire mistress who will then help him kill us all. Now your turn. Go!”

Master Betty: “Eh, I don’ t know.”

Starling: “How about the car in front us with the three pink initials on the back window that probably stand for her first, middle, and last name? What’s with that?”

Master Betty: “L.R.M. are not her initials. Why would someone put initials on their car? Who knows who she is, and who would care?”

Starling: “Her friends.”

Master Betty: “She does’t have any friends. Those initials are a game code: left, right, middle. All her friends are dead. Her family too. Anyone left alive hates her.” As an afterthought he adds, “The end.”

Starling: “W-why do all your half of the imagination games always end with everyone dead?! But I guess that’s a pretty good start.”

Master Betty: “No. It’s the end. There’s no reason for her to go on.”

Starling: “…”
