"What's wrong with Sarah? She's the coolest thing in the whole game."
It took me a few minutes to get that.
My main problem is that in warcraft 3 a lot of the characters were like Kerrigan, so I'm hoping they come up with some new ideas for characters when they make more games. Kerrigan in Brood war is cool though, and is one of two scariest characters in blizzard games.

Guys... I am surprised no one has brought this up yet. Here's a neat little trick i noticed a while back. Dust off your Diablo 2 manuals, and flip to page.... [here is where I stood up, looked through my closet, and found Diablo, Diablo 2:LoD, Warcraft, and Warcraft 2 manuals]. Well, since I can't find my manual, and a 10 minute google images search yielded nothing, if anyone can scan the page in, or find a copy on the internet, that would be good. Anyhow, the page is on the right side of the manual, in the story section talking about the horadrim. The picture shows the horadrim sealing away a prime evil, and at the top of the image, in the 'runes' it says Diablo III. Neat, huh? I will continue looking for a page number, but if someone else could get one, that would rock.
I think I see it on page 77.

Quote:What Izual reveals in D2 bears no reasonable link to what is said or understood in D1, and is practically an unsubstantiated reversal of the story. It's akin to writing a Superman story where green kryptonite, for no explained reason at all, actually helps Superman to live... it flies in the face of what is already lain down, and its veracity comes only in the form of a character dropping out of the blue and saying it to be so.
Actually, I believe your forgetting an important piece of the D1 history here. Diablo's soulstone laid dormant underneath the church (which of course was built on top of the Horadrim monistary) where, over the ages, he was able to grow stronger and corrupt the soulstone, allowing him to overpower the mind of Lazarus and Leoric. Leoric eventually snapped, and Laz brought Albrechet down to take the soulstone into his body to become Diablo's "Avatar" or whatever youd like to call it.
So, from my perspective, the soulstone corruption was already laid down in the D1 Mythology.

Excuse me Fragbait, but where did you get that image? I've tried googling and going to Blizzard's main site, but all I can find is chat board rumor and speculation. I went to the website at the bottom of the image, and it looks like this is just a product of this guy's artistic license. It's not fair to post something of uncertifiable credibility with no link or press release.
Sorry to get so antsy, but you've got me drooling, and I want to believe, but I've been hurt too many times before.
If you could give us some idea of where this came from, I can stop peeing my pants. Thanks.

Hi Butch27,
Sorry to say that I got it from google-fu myself. I was trying to find a neat pic for my sig and that's what I found on the 15th-or-so page...
Pretty well done if you ask me. That's why I placed it here on the first place.
I don't think that this is an early preview of Diablo 3 though, I'm afraid...
Good to see that I'm not the only one looking forward to the sequel, though... :D

Quote:How do Azmodan and Belial look? Here is how I think they look:
Azmodan:A huge demon with burning wings and massive claws heavy armor with spikes all over it in his right hand a great sword and in his left hand a big shield.
Azmodans sword:A red dragon with his mouth wide open out his mouth comes the blade, a red and yellow glance all over the blade the shape of it is like a flame so the form and color will make it look like the dragon is spitting fire! The blade will do massive fire damage.
Azmodans shield: The massive skull of a dragon placed on a heavy plate of some very strong metal. The skull, surrounded by smaller human skulls, has gems placed in it.
Belial: A very, very long, thin, blue creature with two long grey horns on his head. He has no weapons but can change both hands in to swords and knifes, when he holds both hands together he can change it in to a huge maul.
Azmodan : Winged, massive red demon with a dead ram's skull for a face , twisted in form to look very evil and 2 massive curled horns , demon has a tail, and lots of spikes and thorns all over. Red lightning and baal nova attacks, varous curses and huge fireballs.
Belial: Big, tall brute in black and red twice as tall as player with 2 massive horns and a brutish ass face with rows of sharp teeth. summons various colored fireballs and bloodstars. Also another idea of him but tis quite weird .... post it later.
Also, I think Horned Death refers to the horned demons we saw in diablo 1.

I know for a fact that Belial looks like a chocolate Lab puppy.
