This is my first post to this site but I have been lurking around here for awhile now. With the release of D3 I decided it was bout time I started getting to know my fellow Diablo fanatics!
I was just wondering what everyone's thoughts were about the Prime Evils in the third? I know we destroyed the soul stones but surely we will see them again. I personally would hate it if they left the three brothers out of this one..Anyone got any info?
i have a feeling that we might not see Mephisto,, it's not that strong but still there.
I am also somewhat doubtful that baal will be there, mabey in the shadow but not up infront.
I think diablo and many lesser evils is what we will see, and mabey tyreal.
I'm guessing that they will include the other evils, namely Belial. Diablo will be there, obviously, and you never know if he will somehow get Baal and Mephisto back. Regarding the lesser evils, I have no clue, but I would like to see Duriel back, since he was a great and difficult boss to overcome, in some cases.
Yea I agree...What good would be a Diablo game with no Diablo?
Also...any ideas on what that beast is in the very end of the Cinematic trailer? It is definitely a powerful demon but doesn't look like Diablo....looks badass though...
Well there is no way there won't be a diablo in this game. The thing about demons in this story is they tend to be quite hard to get rid of. The destruction of the world stone certainly servers as an opening not only for countless demons, both new and old, to pour into Sanctuary, but it also opens the door to the high heavens. I think they will take the number and extent of the bosses in this game to a much higher, grander level.
Well if you think about it where will the dead go (which Demons basically are) when they die? heaven or hell, and in the diablo uni The dark abyss and the void so take ur choice all of which involve them being alive still.

why the hell would they call it diablo 3 if he isnt even in the game?
I think that in a near future Blizzard will help us understand how the return did actually occur. Was there some way to return without a soulstone or is there information that no one actually is aware of? Blizzard can pretty much bend this the way they want without problems, we pretty much have to accept their path of lore.
I do recommend reading the new book series that came out a while back. It provides some insight into how the demons and angels relate to Sanctuary, and how the worldstone affects that. It has been quite a long time since I have played through D2 or watched the cinematics (I can seem to find my cds anymore) but if I recall correctly, and if I got it right in the first place, the soulstones seemed to be related to the ability of the 3 to stay in sanctuary. This is opposed to the common idea that people have about the stones being related to their existence at all. If I am correct the destruction of the worldstone would mean a breaking of the barriers that kept them and all the other bad things at bay. Another thing the books at least mention is the abyss, and how it is, apparently, escapable. The previous games also hinted at this idea, so there is plenty of possibility (even precedent) for them to come back.
We'd better at least see Big D. If we don't, Imma twist some nuts off.
lol, i agree, and by the looks of how they actually got the sizing right (d2=chars basically the same size as diablo. D3= evil things are HUGE compared the the player) if he is to appear in the game he will be Gigantic!
According to the Deckard Cain journal available at www.diablo3.com mephistos, diablos and baals soulstones have been destroyed at the hellforge. Then how can we get another game about Diablo? It gives at least me reason to belive that we might see all three of them again since their soulstones also were destroyed.
Pretty much what I typed earlier in this post :cool:
They aren't "dead"
the soul stones are just there to let them be present in the mortal realm.
With the soul stone destroyed, they may have "died" in the mortal realm, BUT they are still present in hell.
With the worldstone destroyed, Diablo and his brothers can once again roam the world.
So in the end, Evil can't be destroyed, only contained. Without evil there isn't good neither.
PlugY for Diablo II allows you to reset skills and stats, transfer items between characters in singleplayer, obtain all ladder runewords and do all Uberquests while offline. It is the only way to do all of the above. Please use it.

Mephisto's soulstoen wasn't entirely destroyed. It was shatered into many pieces (a dozen I think) and we only destroyed the largest one. If the remainign pieces where to be gathered, then probally Mephisto will gain entrance upon the Sancutary once again and instead of Diablo, HE will be the Harbringer of the Prime Evils return.

that was Baal's. But with the destruction of the Worldstone Sanctuary isnt any longer shielded by the Burning Hells (or the High Heavens). That comet could be just the start of the invasion. And they already mentioned 7 Lesser Evils (!).

I'm sure Blizzard can't hold themselves though and will include them just to be put in a bad-ass cinematic
When did Blizzard confirm this?
