I don't know.. Diablo 2s storyline was quite a bit better than whatever happened in Diablo 3.

Oh man, this grinds my gears so much. It's not even the story itself, I thought the plot was pretty ok, even good for a generation of gamers that never met Diablo.

You know what was the real issue there? The dialogues, the screenplay, what the voice actors end up saying you know. The fucking dialogues in this game is so bad, the worst action flix of the 80s pale in comparison.

Especially the first demoness, Magda or whatever her name was. Holy fucking shit. I've never seen a character given that shitty dialogue in my entire life as an avid movies fan.

That's a fair point. I remember being especially frustrated by Azmodan, the supposed "most capable battlefield general" _literally_ yelling his secret plans at me in Act 3.

There was some boss that had a steampunk cannon/gun that he carried around and shot stuff with. Any form of gun does not belong in the Diablo franchise. Hopefully Diablo 2 remastered can give us something to sink our teeth into.
