He's not an idiot, he's doing his job. He answered the question -- a fully justified 'Mature' rating; what more do we really need / want to know? Will it be 'demonic'? It's !*$%ing Diablo, what do you think? Asking if it will be 'more' demonic is so abstract and subjective he can't actually answer it. Start asking what people think 'demonic' means in Diablo and you'll get pointed to a rough aesthetic, but nothing concrete.
Does anyone think that maybe D1 was a bit more 'gothic' or 'demonic' because it took place entirely in one location which happened to be a demonicaly overrun gothic cathedral? D2 wasn't necessarily 'less demonic' as more expansive overall, which I can't believe could possibly be argued as being a bad thing. D3 will be even moreso, but that doesn't mean it'll be 'kiddy' or all bunnies and rainbows as so many knee-jerk reactionaries would have you believe.
It'll look amazing, it'll look evil and gorey and demonic when it should and look more picturesque (e.g., Act 5 in D2) when it should, while retaining a mature / atmospheric mood that is in line with the Diablo world and franchise -- all of which Bashiok stated simply and clearly to the extent he's allowed to state anything.
I love talking about this stuff, but hand-holding people through every (literally) 2 sentences Bash posts is getting old. Let it go!
Lol, makes me think of a game I tried a while back where you had to use the one perfect question/answer in order to get the key.... IT PISSED ME OFF SOOOOO MUCH. I ended up giving up because I was about to hit my monitor and scream : MOOOOOMMMMYYY
Yeah, but if he doesn't answer stuff he cant always give an answer to (which is a lot of the stuff he comments on) then the fan boys would always be in an uproar that the Blizz developers ignore them, wouldn't they? It is a double edged sword, and quite frankly I would rather him still talk to us even if he cannot reveal all the details, instead of ignoring us because they know some idiots on a forum are going to misconstrue what he said.

I am a massive loser, don't let me drag you down with me.
For some reason, I was under the assumption that we were getting a teen rated game.
Dunno where I heard this, but I had thought that since release :/.
SO happy to hear that it will be rated mature...

Okay guys, that's enough. We don't want none of this pointless arguing here. We know you're all passionate about the game, but come on, no need to insult each other.

WoW fans are nerds. Diablo fans are freaks.

Funny, it sounds to me like he succinctly and concretely answered the question yet was misread by many people of poor reading comprehension.
