It's a shame how much lore I missed out on outside of Diablo 2/D2LOD that I have to wiki search a lot of the stuff (aldric/astrogha is an example, 10/10 for flavour with the new location). I'm glad baal is now a fight that isn't just a spam fest of one ability from everyone where everyone tanks and spanks (*ahem* vanilla). Now baal is a fight where so much fucking chaos ensues, I ooze with joy. I like doing boss fights where the damage doesn't feel enough, so I farm more for gear and revisit later. This is progression done correctly. My only issue is that BPR is a less difficult boss. Strange that a boss of lesser difficulty is unlocked after baal, but meh.
