I'm going to throw this out there before we are given information on it, so it could be in the wrong end of the ball park, but here it goes! The original, and still firm concept of Diablo 2 is to defeat the prime evils, and to destroy their soulstones. As to wether we have destroyed Baal's soulstone, we do not know, however, this is not my point. In the last few years Blizzard has been patching in new boss content, such as Lilith and the UBER Evils; why would they do this? This virtually ruins any plot of possibly bringing the prime evils back into the mortal realm, unless of course they do not consider those bosses to be cannon. I personally believe that Baal's soulstone was not destroyed, and is now corrupting Tyreal through it, while Azmodon and Belial rage through the mortal plane.
The ubers are a easter egg bonus thing, only available since patch 1.11 and as they are only present on multiplayer, they have no bearing on the single player campaign and it's story I do not think you can truly count the as offical lore.
Also Lilith in the game is quite different to Lilith in the novels.

Baal wore it around his neck didn't he? I don't remember seeing it.
Correct me if I'm wrong though, When you complete the Hell Forge Mission you only have Mephisto's soul stone? You destroy it... Diablo has his stuck in into his head.. You kill him it remains there... Does the stone get destroyed when his spirit leaves the body?

Mephisto's soulstone is destroyed in the Hellforge question.
Mephisto's soulstone is later see destroyed again in the epilogue cinematic, as is Diablo's.
Baal's is currently unaccounted for.

Just re-watched the cinematic... thanks for correcting me.

Personally, I think these theories that Tyreal is corrupted or evil is wayyyy stretched. I mean, you never know, but I dont think it's leaning that way.

The Vampire Lives Eternally. It Was Promised Eternal Death.
I have a good idea on what the prime evils will play in Diablo 3, speculation here though:
Alright, who remembers the lore of Mephisto? His soulstone was SHATTERED into many pieces (12 I think) and we only destroyed one at the Hellforge, what does this mean? Mephisto, now, might take up the role has the Harbringer of the Prime Evil's return upon the Sanctuary once again
We destroyed the biggest part of the stone, the only bit that any of mephisto's essence was in. the bit that broke off were only to mind control the council, nothing more.

I think a lot of yall are drinking ur knowledge off of D2 only.......Remember (because god knows I still do) Diablo's soulstone was Destroyed/Stuck in your warriors head in the epilogue of the Origional so who said they can't come maybe by some odd black magic they do...But I do believe its either Tyrael or some other Big player from the books comes in for the end boss (If Baal is alive he can ressurect his fallen brethren)

Yes we destroyed the biggest part of the stone, lets say the biggest part of the stone was 1/3 of the entire soulstone. Now if one could gather up the remaining 2/3 of the soulstone then Mephisto might gain entrance into the world again
I think it's plausible that Tyrael is corrupted. Especially with the line on the D3 site saying failing luminaries of heaven. Maybe of the thousands of shards that were flying about, one held just enough of Baal's corrupting essence to qualify as a soulstone. And said stone happened to bury itself in Tyrael. It been 20 years, how much corruption could Baal have done in that time?

Let's think here, Worldstone goes poof, Heaven and Hell gain total access into Sanctuary, bigass war.
The Worlstone I believe, was to hold the boundries of Heaven and Hell from enveloping the Sanctuary. Nowa piece of that stone into Tyrael, what does that mean? Total unrestricted access into anywhere in Hell?
In the new cinematic you've got a big evil army marching around... really makes me thing a lot of this will center around a war in sanctuary. Also, it seems they're implementing the ability for the game to manage much more large scale encounters and monsters, think we might see some warzone scenarios?

That would be badass!!!!! Walk into a place with like 3 of your friends and enter the center of it and just see from both angles, Angels and Demons charging at each other and clashing in the center and then you find yourself fighting all of'em for your life
