Though while we're forced to wait, lets take a moment to reflect on a decade of Diablo II and share some of our fondest memories here.
Diablo II 10-Year Anniversary [Blizzard]

I suppose that is true. And Diablo 3 will certainly tell a lot of story for those characters. But there were a lot of NPCs that seemed to have interesting histories that I would love to know more about. Ormus and Natalya in Act III, specifically, were the ones I wanted to know more about. Fara in Act II would have been cool to see as well, since Deckard Cain seemed suspicious of her. I like mystery, but not when it never gets revealed. It's like at the end of Total Recall with Arnold Schwarzenegger. Was the whole movie real? Or did he dream it? Stories with things left up to the viewer's imagination feel incomplete to me.IskatuMesk wrote: That's exactly why Diablo is the best - they haven't destroyed it yet. It has enough mystery for character-driven expansion but Metzen hasn't gotten his grubby hands on green-colored everything yet.
Or you can appreciate them a work of art. It doesn't have to make sense or have every mystery explained. You don't need to know why, you should be happy that it simply is.thebrowncloud wrote:I suppose that is true. And Diablo 3 will certainly tell a lot of story for those characters.
