Loose thoughts concerning the next instalment of Diablo
* Although I liked the suggestions for Lemming regarding the bosses, there can be noe "Diablo"-game, without "Diablo"-monster for obvious reasons.
* A stronger emphasis on story and plot. There should be a multiplayer aspect, and it should be as streamlined and efficient as that of D2, but the heart and soul(stone) of Diablo should be a well crafted story, parallel to that of a modern novel. Storytelling *can* occur in other formats than pre-rendered cinematic sequences.
* In connection with my last point, I'd like to see a little less linearity and more emphasis on action and consequences. Think Deus Ex, where everything you do has a consequence down the line. Challenge: how to implement this into a multiplayer-game.
* Perspective. Optional 1st-person, or 'chase-view' similar to that of Resident Evil 4.

* Mini-boss: Wirt the Undead. Invulnerable to all weapons! Can only be clubbed to death with his own leg!
* There is no Zealot-level!
Hmmf. Now I want to play Diablo II again. *looks for CDs*
