She worked diligently beneath the guise of a human to achieve her goals, only to fail at each turn. In Diablo 3, little remains of Lilith, though her writings can be located within the Pandemonium Fortr

Over time, Inarius attuned the Worldstone to gradually diminish the nephalem’s power. Generation after generation passed, until the weak, mortal race of humanity came into existence.

That would likely go back to her original desire to stop the Eternal Conflict, and to do so, she may consider it necessary to create again another world, a new Sanctuary, and another offspring like the first nephalem, more powerful than anything else before. This would allow Lilith to potentially stop the Eternal Conflict by destroying everything, and perhaps that is the issue players must contend with.

The other thing that struck me was the incredible sound design. Bloodhoof Clan bones crunched under the force of my bear charge. My wolf swipes shredded shamans, spraying blood with deafening force.

Just because Diablo 4 is going to be incredibly grim and bleak doesn't mean it won't look good doing it, however.
