I think he's just angry they killed Cain and he's going to use the soulstone to resurect him. He's actually the good guy and you're the bad guy. M Night Shyamalan.

Erm... that doesn't explain anything. If he's pissed off at Tyreal, then why would he spare him now that he's a mortal? And if he's all emo about the worldstone, how does the black soulstone change anything? Plus, this was written a week ago before the cinematic came out.
I think he will want to make Tyrael watch as he destroys the beings and world he holds so dear,

I think you should stop caring about the story. Maybe it will be good and a pleasant surprise, but definitely don't get too invested in it.

Why they can't just add a set of servers where you can log in randomly to someone else's game and hostile them is still completely beyond me. That was goddamn Diablo. My interest in the game would increase to playable status immediately.

ive been watching the video a lot, it seems death dude made up its mind about sparing tyrial after seeing something in what he was absorbing from him. Isn't the wisdom dude the one that can see into the future?

I agree with the others I wouldn't even worry about the story it's to far gone with retarded butterflies killing Cain and other moronic shit. This is just "Space Ball 2: The search for more money" and who knows they might run a Starcraft style chain on this hooker and slap on another xpac or two down the road. It's like you guys forget that Bobby fucking no fun cash cow Kotick is and always will be calling the shots. Of course there is always the real fucking 1,000,000 to 1 long shot that they make the game good and slap in some ladder modes, unfuck itemization, tack on a non-AH server, let you name your own games, add more than 4 people in co-op, make it so weapon damage it's dumb as fuck, move away from wow stats, and make runes and customization meaning full, although I wouldn't hold my breath.

That being said if it's anything like Diablo III's release then binge playing and taking advantage of every exploit that they will nerf shortly after for the first week or two of release will justify the box cost since you can probably rake in $500-$2,000 off the RMAH and the shitmongers who will be buying the newest and latest before the AH get flooded again like current.

No, that is the Archangel of Fate.

Looks like he only wants to kill humans (and demons?) so once he figured out that it really was Tyrael, he left him alone.

What's wrong with weapon damage?

He didnt know him as a mortal at first. In some lore bits they say half the angelic council wanted to destroy humanity long ago, I guess he was for that and is still for it now, only he got got a power-up and goes at it alone now. I hope Imperius joins the dark side so we can whoop him, he has it coming for sure.

I'm also down with finding a way to bring Diablo back every time, he's in the title after all. Although they would make it less contrived if they had just said the demons reform in hell after some time, and each victory only buys you a few centuries of respite. Imo the overarching story they hint at is ok-ish, but that was the case for the D3 classic too and they fucked up the details, flow and presentation in every way you can think of and then some.

Regarding the cinematics, it's no D2 for sure and I think the act 1,2 and 3 cinematics of D3 are better too. Cain's burial is actually getting some emotion across for example:






The story as you play is hamfisted as hell though and during act 3 it goes down the toilet. I agree that they need to take a lesson of 'less is more'.
