There's a lot of mad kids in this thread. I personally liked the story of D1, D2, and WC3 when it was fresh. I also really enjoy the story and lore in D3. From the story side of things, I wish Cain's death would have been more epic, and I wish Diablo's host would have been something other than a new face being the obvious choice.
When millions of people play these games, there's always going to be differing opinions. I just laugh when you think your side of things is the correct side when opinions mean nothing to other people.
I will admit that in previous incarnations of Diablo the story was completely tacked on after the game was complete, and it felt that way."
Thats DIRECTLY from the mouth of the LEAD DESIGNER of Diablo 2, please, tell me more about how Diablo 2 had a "Perfectly calculated" story.
roflol.
Of course he'll say that. He's trying to sell D3. Just because d2 and d1 had the same kind of cheese and D3 just has more of it, doesn't make it just as bad. It definitely makes it worse. D2 had a lot less dialogue, but it backed the story up and the mood with great music. Act 1 and act 5 of D2 was EPIC in terms of mood, storytelling, and music.
On top of that, the extra dialogue is freaking terrible. Such as when Diablo says to kill his shadow warrior in order to defeat him. Or when Azmodan repeatedly tells you his battle plans on destroying Earth....giving you the where/when/how.
