It's one of those things where the plot couldn't possibly happen the way it does if everyone involved didn't have their heads firmly planted up their own respective rear end, but hoo boy is it frustrating when it starts to become apparent that that's the case.

Honestly, thinking about it, the Bloody Foothills are one of my favourite areas, even if I wouldn't normally think to put it on a list of the game's high points. It's just really satisfying to hack through the area alongside the Barbarian warriors (you can even support them with any auras or buffs you might have), and feels like your character is part of a bigger war effort in a way the rest of the game doesn't (outside of here and a few named NPCs like Flavie, the only fellow adventurers you see are corpses). And also, the catapults and obstacles etc do at least add a bit of a twist, these areas feel a bit more dynamic than previous ones.

I pretty much have to echo this; it's been quite a long time since I last played Diablo 2, but this was one of, if not the only, areas in the game that actually made you feel like you were part of something larger than yourself. As ineffective as they were at killing demons, I went out of my way to try and keep as many of the Barbs alive as I could whenever I went through this area of the game.
