What are your funny Diablo2 thoughts?

As I play this game, funny story lines or weird thoughts about the game come up

I will give an example of mine:

"When I rescue

Deckard Cain and

Akara thanks me by giving me a rare ring, but then ring is of pretty poor quality, should I read into it that

Akara and Deckard have a difficult past? And while she sees we need him to fix all that is happening, she isn't really that fond of him." Maybe it was a bad break-up in wizard school.

So what are your funny thoughts you have when you play? Less "why is this mechanic stupid" more like "Huh, I wonder about these people's lives"

Only

Akara,

Ormus and

Anya "reward" us with a rare item that is crap in 98% of all cases. That's just how RNG works. And there is

Charsi's imbue, usually worthless, too. RNG being as it is makes these NPS look like poor misers. In Diablo 1, you always get the same unique as a quest reward. This was rather boring, so they changed it for D2, but some or even most of these D1 rewards were actually useful.

I have always wondered about that

Jerhyn, the rich "Prince of

Lut Gholein" doesn't give us anything as a reward.
I get it, he wants to buy a new harem for himself and the price of slaves is probably high with all these people that were slaughtered by monsters.
But still, he could at least give us a little bit after cleaning the Palace Cellar and killing

The Summoner. In my mind, rewards in gems would make sense for him: 10 Flawless Gems (randomly rolled) in normal and 10

Perfect Gems in Nightmare and Hell

Rare ring rewards for completed quests usually end in disappointment, and yet we all do them hoping for a "different result."

Do the Mercenaries know they are essentially slaves with a 100% chance of Death? We pay the Merchant to hire one. We never pay the mercenary - ever. We never pay the merchant again unless we want a different one.

We lavish them with luxurious ethereal garments. I've yet to hear them say thanks, except when feeding their potion addiction.

Well, how would you react if: your boss gave you expensive clothes, insisted that you always wear them at work, and it turns out the clothes are all semi-transparent...
