Long time diablo fan, first time poster here I believe. Well, let's just dive into my complaint and suggestion...
Firstly:The complaint
This Diablo has entirely too many attempts at humor. If I hear Tyrael mention that he didn't know how to eat food one more time, I might lose it and start ranting on the official forums! For those who are like me, and don't normally pay attention to the story, or the dialogue, or anything but the senseless killing; start up an adventure mode game and wait around for Tyrael to complain about his stomach hurting, if you pay close attention to his dialogue with Lorath, you will hear things like:
Tyrael: My stomach is in pain. (How little pain did they subject this wuss-factory to when they were torturing him in the dungeon!? *Tickle fight!*)
Lorath: Did you forget to eat again? (Again? This living god forgot (again) about food? Ooookay...)
Tyrael: I decided to get the whole day's eating out of the way all at once. (HER-DEE-DER)
Lorath: Maybe you ate too much? (What was your first clue, Sherlock?)
Tyrael: Being a mortal is confusing. (Is it really? Being a god-like being isn't confusing at all I bet.)
Lasty:TheSuggestion
Give me a "No humor, no Scooby-doo Villain" Dialogue/Story option. Just change a few sound files and you're pretty much done, I don't even care if it isn't well thought out, or if Tyrael just talks about the weather!
No more Maghda announcing her plans and giving hints!
No more Azmodan sending a carrier pigeon to the front lines to deliver orders! (What in the world is this? If I were as inconsequential as he would like me to believe, he wouldn't be sending orders to stop me at all costs!)
and circumvent the fight on the top of the Siege Ram in Act V! Oh my god, I didn't think I'd ever actually seriously *Facedesk*, but my friend and I BOTH did when this fight started. Just let me fight below it, or climb the walls and be above it on the ramparts. Give me Act III scenery, or just another small zone like the short path just before this part where I "defend the bottom of the ram"
This is not a complete list of my grievances, but you get the idea right? Am I alone in this suggestion? It is genuinely driving me insane at this stage.
Give me gallows humor and a dark story or give me death!
and a preemptive rebuttal: "Just turn voices to 0" - Why should I be forced to never hear any dialogue just because I don't want to listen to the bad guys announce their plans, or the good guys to be complete (and utterly annoying) idiots. I like a lot of the voices, I don't mind hearing "GLORIOUS!" all day, but don't give me an angel with a stomach ache.
You want an option tailored to have a storyline with audio changed to your tastes? To have specific sequences that bother you specifically to be specifically changed in specificness?
Please don't tell me that you've somehow wiped your memory sufficiently enough to think that the Diablo series ever had anything other than terrible storyline and dialogue?
Just ignore it. This is a game about killing monsters. Might as well cry that Gauntlet had bad story and stupid lines ("Elf shot the food!")

Yeah, because that's what I asked for. Oh wait, not quite. I merely asked for an option for those of us who aren't 12 years old, like yourself. I don't need to listen to an angel who's lived longer than I care to know that has spent quite a lot of time around mortals, yet doesn't know about this natural phenomenon called "hunger" or this strange action of "eating."

I didn't hate the story of Diablo II, it wasn't causing me physical pain to listen to at the very least... The story and dialogue of Diablo III is so random, cheesy, and childish that it makes me want to play something a bit darker... Perhaps Hello Kitty: Island Adventure or the latest Dora the Explorer game...
