The nephalem were the children of the mixing of Angels and humans. They were giants that plagued the earth and caused great destruction. In the book of Enoch there is a detailed description of them. Also the book hints at the nephalem being the primary reason for God flooding the earth.
LOL It was funny hearing about this now since they said that the world would be flooded 21 may!^^
They forgot mentioning waiting for the Nephalem's first. xD
(And no I don't believe that nonsense)
No, according to the text, this happened thousands of years ago. You know, the flood that is spoken about in just about every ancient religion? -

Wow, awesome. But as I played D2 a long time ago as a kid I really do not know much about Diablo in terms of lore.
It was mentioned in the beginning that there has been a battle between angels and demons since the beginning of time yet we don't know why, so technically we don't know who is REALLY the good guys or even the right side, for all we know it is the demons and hell who has been wronged in some way. Nor do we know what the winning side (if in deed there ever will be one) plans to do after the victory. Other than throw a party over the enemies corpses. Will they take over the opposing world? Enslavement? etc?
Also I remember that Lilith was fought in D2 (I think) but from the video, clearly she seems like a good character, she even seems more beneficial to humanity than her lover (forgot the angels name, Anerius?)
Also, it says that each side tried to coerce humanity into joining their own side yet each seemed to oppress humanity in their own way, demons through brutality and angels through harsh order and such (if I heard the video correctly), so why would humanity want to join either side? Neither sound like a good choice, the whole time your looking helping out the angels but are they really in our best interests? (Also relating to my first question).
Also not really a question but I thought it's interesting that I think nephalim might have came from a hebrew word nophal (or nephal) which means to fall or fell, and in this sense would mean The Fallen, not sure if blizzard knew that, though they probably did
They take the term from the bible. specifically the old testament. The nephalem were the children of the mixing of Angels and humans. They were giants that plagued the earth and caused great destruction. In the book of Enoch there is a detailed description of them. Also the book hints at the nephalem being the primary reason for God flooding the earth.
According to the book of Enoch, the angels who fornicated with earthly women were known as "The Watchers". They guarded and watched over the earth for God. Once they decided to go against God, they were cast out of heaven. In punishment, God bound them in chains underneath the earth until Armageddon. At that point they will be sent to the inescapable death that will also befall Lucifer. -

@Critter- I could be wrong but I assumed that the pun was intended. If not, quite a coincidence. -

How about for every 50K Likes, they reveal a new town, dungeon, monster, or system on the official website? All with some well needed flavor text as well.
P.S. - Tomb Viper pic is badass.
That's kind of a bad idea. While I don't like seeing the same thing over and over with it packaged as new...I also don't want to be spoiled with too much. You know, like the movie trailers that show all the best parts before it even comes out. - To post a comment, please login or register a new account.

Lag should NOT be an aspect of a game's difficulty. First let me say:
I CHOSE to play hardcore.
I did NOT choose to play on the internet. I wanted to play hardcore offline like I've ALWAYS done.
My last HC D2 character died at level 89. I was not upset in the slightest. I said GG to D2. It was a fair death.
However, the death of my lvl 24 HC Barb in D3 is completely inexcusable as it had nothing to do with my performance. It was about lag.
I should be able to play without that risk. And if I can't I should be able to have my character restored. Which we all know will never happen.

Very nice. I have been playing with those ideas myself for the past few years. Especially as a artist, it is cut and dry as far as the bachelor is concerned. The degree means nothing in my field. Thus, I'm actually at school to learn. Go figure lol.
Maybe, once this opinion is widely recognized as a relative truth, the approach to secondary school will evolve. As is, the system still sets under the guise of "come pay lots of money to say you have a degree with us". In other words, reputation is still important. Maybe once there is such an over inflation of degrees, the school systems might change the motto to "hey, come spend some money to actually learn something since we all know that nobody cares about what school you went to anymore!"
Not to say that such a scenario will occur soon or even ever. Just a thought. Maybe we just won't have physical schools in the future.
Yet, there is still an important motto to consider that holds true today. "It's not what you know, but who you know". Aside from the actual skill that I am learning, the most important thing is the people I have been connected to. And at any one of those massively prestigious schools there are certainly a few good people to know there.
Edit: I agree Vegas. And I REALLY hope that holds true for me. So far so good!
