Marked as spoiler, but I'll still be vague where possible.

Near the beginning of Act 6, when you are walking through the city towards the underworld, you come across a group of cultists that mention "lord of hatred" in terms of worship. Your character and party/allies even call it out - "why would they say that? Lilith considers him the bad guy? Interesting..."

Was that referencing something I missed? (I finished the campaign, so I can't be spoilered) Or was that just supposed to mention how its all a game to the evils? What did it mean?!

My perspective is that it's supposed to be part of the "who is the real enemy" angle that was a part of the later half of the game. There was this constant back and forth as to whether we should focus on Lilith vs Mephisto as the one to destroy. That process culminates in how the ending plays out.

This part is just a reminder to the player that Mephisto is still a force of evil that can't be ignored or underestimated.

after the 'epilogue' it is QUITE clear that mephisto has a role yet to play, I agree
