Background
Game Level
Female Barbarian exploring the plateau.
The Howling Plateau was one of the first levels of the GamesCom 2009 demo, and was described as far better looking version of the Diablo II Aranoch desert levels. The terrain featured visible winds carrying clouds of sand across the plains with dust storms kicking up. The aforementioned desert creatures are critters, which dies if run over.
An NPC called the Dying Driver can be found in The Howling Plateau.
