Diablo 3 - Sorceress Walk-through - Act I - Levels 12-15 - Shard 1 of 3 - March 2025

〰️〰️〰️ What is Diablo 3? 〰️〰️〰️

Diablo 3 is a Large Scale MMO (Massively Multi-player Online) Game created by Blizzard.

This game continues the Diablo story and is played on a normal desktop or laptop.

〰️〰️〰️ What kind of game is Diablo 3? 〰️〰️〰️

Diablo 3 is a “hack and slash” game which involves killing demons, beasts and other forms of adventuring dangers in the quest of doing good deeds, saving the world from the forces of evil, and of course, obtaining better loot.

〰️〰️〰️ Is Diablo 3 “Pay to Win”? What do you get for spending real world money? 〰️〰️〰️

Since one pays for Diablo 3, you get the game. That said, there are micro-transactions for the usual cosmetics stuff.

〰️〰️〰️ Is there any objectionable material in Diablo 3? 〰️〰️〰️

Considering the nature of the game - dispatching demons from hell - there is quite a lot of non-child-friendly content here.

Blizzard also seems to be taking pride in making this game extra-gory in a cartoon sense.

So we really can say this game is for a more “mature” player. What does mature mean? Blizzard defines it as a legal adult - because the lawyers tell them to. Parents should know their child in determining if this game is appropriate.

On the plus side, while female characters can show cleavage, women are not objectified.

〰️〰️〰️ Is Diablo 3 fun to play? Is the game challenging? Is this game a grind? 〰️〰️〰️

Blizzard typically makes their games a little easy on the front side and slowly ramps up the difficulty once one has spent some time with the game.

This model appears to be used here as well. One should easily get to level 15 or 20 with no real difficulty.

That said, Blizzard makes their games to be really engrossing. This is a game which can consume a lot of time.

〰️〰️〰️ Is Diablo 3 playable on a mobile device? 〰️〰️〰️

No. Diablo 3 is meant to be played on a Personal Computer.

〰️〰️〰️ What about in-game advertisements? How many are there? How intrusive are they? Do you get anything for enduring them? 〰️〰️〰️

While there is the customary in-game offers for in-game items, I have not encountered any 3rd party advertising. 😊️ This is definitely a good thing.

〰️〰️〰️ What is the story in Diablo 3? 〰️〰️〰️

The game takes place twenty years after the events of Diablo II. Deckard Cain and his niece Leah are in the Tristram Cathedral investigating ancient texts regarding an ominous prophecy. Suddenly, a mysterious star falling from the sky strikes the Cathedral, creating a deep crater into which Deckard Cain disappears.

The player is tasked with finding Deckard Cain and the mysteries that follow.

〰️〰️〰️ Is this a commitment game or a casual game? 〰️〰️〰️

Diablo 3 is definitely a commitment game. While there are side quests and dungeons which can be done in fifteen (15) minutes or so, this game is meant as a primary game - to be played when one has significant downtime.
