Diablo is not an RPG. It's not on the same level as the RPG's you've listed and never will be. Bunch of random people sprouting monologues + a few cinematics is not how you tell story. Present day FPS do a better job than that.
Diablo probably has the most boring diamonologue system ever created.
There's no role play in Diablo. Giving stats to a character is not sufficient, nor are classes, heXen has these things...
You do not make any story choices in Diablo.
There's nothing to do in the game besides kill stuff and improve your ability to kill stuff.
The game is conveyor.
You can completely ignore the story without much effort, which is why so many people think necromancers are bad and the like. Diablo is one of those games where you're better off learning the story without playing the game (which means the game itself is not a true RPG).
Story is indeed secondary to the Diablo series, just like it's secondary to StarCraft. Having a backstory, or a story somewhere in the universe does not make any given game an RPG.
"There will be no Marius, Diablo, Baal, Mephisto, Tyrael, Andariel, Duriel, Horazon, Blood Raven, King Leoric, Lazarus, Leoric's sun, Soulstones, Worldstone, Horadrim, Deckard Cain, Countess in the Diablo game without story."
Rubbish, those are just names and terms that are pretty easy to pull out of books about demons and stuff. In fact, Diablo's lore is pretty unoriginal. Besides the framework itself, it's just religious mythology with some fantasy mixed in.
I'm just saying that the armors by themselves definitely draw heavily from a Camelot-like setting.
No, they draw from the medieval area. There's only so much you can do with armor and Diablo is not going to purposefully make it look bad or something.
Don't give a shit about knights and the less I see them the better because they're EVERYWHERE right now.
Monk is not the replacement of pally. The pally does not need a replacement. If you want a leader, anyone can do it (life is a bit more intelligent than US football, fortunately), if you're making the knight do it you're being cliche tbh. If anything, barb should do it since he's the oldest of the bunch it seems.

Hanging around here should give you all the lore you would need.
I mean, this place IS called Diablofans...
I think I'll just let LinkX do the talking for me and sign under it...

Witch Doctor is not at all the same in feel and nobody said the dark character needs to share necromancer skills.
I always wanted to play Necro melee lol.
