I still stand by leaving Diablo out of the third installment if the game turns out to be a sequel. The worldstone corrupts the, well, world, and Blizzard can build off that. The franchise is well established enough that they can do pretty much whatever they want with this last game.
P.S. Besides go through time.

Nobody can give you freedom. Nobody can give you equality or justice or anything. If you're a man, you take it.
If they just want to kill things they can play online like Diablo 2 and just slaughter things, or they can skip the cut scenes and just kill things, Diablo 2 has a story line but people play that, just because you change to a new area doesn't mean you have to follow a story line, so why not give us that want a nice story line the chance to see one but like Diablo 2 its very much not required to actually play the game.
I mean honestly if all you care about is killing things would you care that when you change "acts" you are in a different time? so why not conform to every one instead of just 14 year olds that can play F.E.A.R. or Half-Life 2 if all they want to do is kill stuff.
Well said. Unfortunately, I don't think Blizzard would agree with you. As much as I would like to believe the opposite, companies are putting out games for one purpose: to make as much money as possible. They don't care how innovative a game is, so long as people buy it. That is the only reason you are going to see a third installment in the Diablo series. Blizzard already knows it will sell. If they change the format for the game too much, it turns into a risk.

I have just now decided that I don't care for the Back to the Future theory. It is a little too busy for me, and I think it will end up being the same way for the D3 consumer base. You have got to put yourself in the shoes of Blizzard's target market. Sure, the game will obviously be rated mature, but the majority of the people playing the game will still be 12-14 year old male teenagers, who have the attention spans of, well, 12-14 year old male teenagers. They aren't going to want to think about such a complicated storyline, just kill things. Too busy of a plotline, I think.
