43. My biggest complaint is the story.

I know Diablo has never been about story and Blizzard isn't Bioware. However, at least the stories in D1 and D2 knew how to get out of the way. This game takes a poor story, poorly tells it, and shoves it in way too much. Either make a good story like Bioware or CDProjectRed does or keep the story out of the way.
