I'd agree if it weren't for the fact that his lore no longer makes sense or is compelling in any way, shape, or form. He's now just some big demon who wants revenge for being bound like every other big demon ever, and by the way he also ate a pair of gay guys, how novel.

The thing is, there was no need to bulldoze his old lore to integrate either the existence of the Darkin or Varus being gay. The story of a man turning to dark powers in his grief is incredibly compelling, and tying that core story to a character who just so happens to be gay would've made it even more powerful. But instead of a compelling, tragic character, we get... some evil dude, who happens to have a pair of dudes in him. None of which comes across in game because they didn't update his voice lines at all.
