After some strange happenings, you’ll eventually team up with a hermit voiced by Ralph Ineson (the dad from The Witch), a man for whose voice the term ‘gravitas’ could have been invented. After spending a little time in character creation - there’s not a great deal to it, but still enough to get some fun hair/beard/tattoo combos going - your adventurer finds themselves wandering through snow-blasted wastelands, and eventually, a rundown village. The scene setting doesn’t end there, either.

Once there, Click your username displayed in the top right-hand corner of the screen and click “Account Settings” or “View Account,” depending on the platform. First, you’ll have to have spent a significant amount of time in both Diablo III and Diablo II: Resurrected’s end game (Blizzard did not give an exact number as of this writing).
