Yes, I did watch the lore videos. None of them change my view on the matter actually. Angels and demons have been killing each other since the dawn of creation so I don't see Lilith's actions as any different or any more ruthless. Also, she did that in defense of the Nephalem, which humanity descended from, so I feel like I have more in common with her goals than Mephisto's.
So would existence under any of the Prime Evils.
One question for you since you seem knowledgeable about the lore: What happened to the Nephalem after D3? In D3 the player character is a nephalem and in D4 we're just some random human as far as I know. And that's fine. I just want to know what happened to the player characters of D3 in the transit to D4.
Don't get me wrong, I think she's terrible in the grand scheme of things. I just think that humanity being descendants of the Nephalem have more interests that align with Lilith compared to Mephisto and that might ultimately lead to a change in the never ending eternal conflict. For example, I think she would have wanted to protect Sanctuary itself, whereas both the heavens and the hells wouldn't give two shits about destroying it if it served their purposes. I also disagree about the part where she didn't care about humanity, because humanity is just essentially the children of her spawn. Plus, wasn't Uldyssian a human who later regained his Nephalem powers? So its there, just hidden by the Worldstone tweaks that Inarius did.

If my "husband" murdered my son and then impaled me through a wall with a spear and I was in a position to do something about it after the fact, I'd stab and kill him too lol.Lilith isn't great...I just don't think Mephisto is the answer. That's what I mean by choosing the lesser evil...he's the worse choice out of the two. At least humanity has a bond with Lilith through being part of her extended family.
