Come to think of it, why was this thread stickied? Just so there's atleast one thread available for people to see by default? That makes sense, sure. But, I think there are better, more important threads than this one. Especially since the first post in this thread is really confusingly written.
Hehe, yeah, that first post was pretty whack. But we still knew basically what he was getting at. I don't know who stickied this thread, but I've enjoyed a lot of the conversation we've had in it. And my money is still on the next Diablo game being a prequel.
Well the whole point of them trying to destroy Sanctuary during the Sin Wars was because given enough time/awareness the Nephalem were stronger than anything the High Heavens and Burning Hells had, and rather than see them fall sway under the Prime Evils the Angels were going to destroy them until a truce was bartered.
Plus, from the moment the Burning Hells found out about the Nephalem, they were considered an abomination by the Prime Evils and were overall a great offense to them.
And what do they mean by start in Heaven? Like, you'll see a cinematic taking place in Heaven? Or, you'll actually start fighting in Heaven? Could people possibly be any more vague? I really need to finish The Veiled Prophet so we can get the storyline conjecture going again.
OH! right, thnx for that, and why didn't she took the ston there??? well anyway, perhaps my rogue was stupid or somthing
There could actually be very good reasons why they didn't attempt to take the Soulstone straight to Hellforge the first time. But I think it's simply because you can't just get to Hell. True, in the first Diablo you actually are in Hell, but it seems more of a pocket of Hell that Diablo opened as a temporary base before he could get to that entire realm. The same realm that seems reachable through the Infernal Gate that the Prime Evils open in the cinematic after Act III.
by the way, i never found to mucho sense in diablo's ending cinematic, why did my rogue, after all the pain and years (it took me 5 years to complete diablo) i spent on that game, pierced her head with that stone, why didnn't she just throw it away or brake it or something... diablo's esence was contained in the stone... just leave it there... i just don't understand
It took you five years to complete that game? Unreal.
But to answer your question, if the stone was not driven into the hero's head, Diablo would not be contained. True, in the end, Diablo was not contained anyway, but the hero's action at the end of the first game buys everyone some time. Through the hero's own strength and will, he would attempt to contain Diablo for as long as humanly possible. This means, however, to vastly underestimate Diablo and his power.
As far as breaking it, to do so just anywhere seems like it could unleash Diablo without any restraints. It had to be destroyed at Hellforge.
I often think of how cool it would be to play as the Horadrim in the original attempt to capture Baal in the Soulstone. To see what he might have looked like then would be really interesting.
There's actually many signs that suggest the game could be a prequel. The SIn War Trilogy alone suggests that. Plus the fact that there's so many fascinating time periods in Diablo's history that we have yet to experience.

Legacy of Blood was entertaining. I really liked the Necromancer character in it.
