  Ehhhhh… Kinda, not really. The wizard goes mad, the rogue aligns with evil and the warrior failed to contain the big evil and is possessed by it.

  Doesn’t sound like final boss to me.

    I may be wrong, didn't follow the series much, but wasn't Diablo2 BBEG the player from the first one turned evil?

      Yeah, as I said, it was the warrior, who took diablo’s soulstone with himself, but succumbed to evil and was possessed by Diablo. So, yeah, tuned evil. Still, at that point I wouldn’t call that body the player from the first game.

      Afaik originally in D2 we were supposed to kill him and that would be it, but the animator company decided that it would be cool to animate some dude piercing his forehead with a stone, and since there wasn’t anymore dev time Blizzard North decided to go with it. That gave way to to justification for the corruption/possession of the D1 warrior character and thus the story of D2 and kinda D3.

  Or many of the Soulsborne games.

  Tap for spoiler

  Replacing Gehrman in one of the Bloodborne endings being the most direct example.
