Baal's Soulstone was fragmented and weak and could barely hold his soul, so when it was put into Tal Rasha, he became a human Soulstone. When he died, Baal's soul was too strong to be forced back into the old stone fragment and was whisping around the room in a million parts. You could even see the miniBaal souls flying around in the Tyrael end cinematic. My theory is that his soul is torn and just haunting Sanctuary in pockets, causing Destruction here and there without the ability to reconnect or possess any one unit any longer.
18:40 2 Stones are destroyed. One is Mephisto and one is Diablo.
He did have a piece of Baal's intended soulstone, and Baal killed him and took it. We never got to see what happened to that shard, but we know that Baal's container (tal-rasha) died in the worldstone chamber.
Exactly, Marius never had Diablos though. That is something that bothers me though. We do the hellforge quest and based on the video we destroy Mephistos and Diablos soulstone. In no point do we actually acquire Diablos soultone. We take mephistos when we kill him, and then we immediately go destroy it. After the hellforge quest we go and encounter diablo. But before that we never do so there is no way the character should have had it to begin with. Tyrael only gives Marius one soulstone and it is clearly baals since it is the ony that he has in the cinematic you posted. It shows Marius and he says that he never whent into hell.

Uh, I think it's just assumed that the player yanks out Diablo's soul stone and breaks it. It would be kind of anti-climactic after all to have to retrace your steps and go back to the soul forge after defeating Diablo, so they just tell you that it happened via cinematic.

well i belive that diablo will come in expansion.. probably.. story will continue... not like in diablo 2.. when u killed Diablo.. looked like its all over..
I know this is the wrong thread you can kill me if you want but this has been brought up numorous times. When Diablo died and his soulstone destroyed Diablo was ultimatly sent back into the Black Abyss which spawned him (Clearly stated by Tyrael) Now another demon could probably (Dont know if the task is easy or not sience we dont know much about the black abyss) Another demon maybe Belial or Azmodan or whoever decided to summoned him back into hell. From hell he can easily return to Sanctuary.

If you want to arrange it
This world you can change it
If we could somehow make this
Christmas thing last
By helping a neighbor
Or even a stranger
And to know who needs help
You need only just ask
