I don't think a prequel would be necassarily a bad thing. I just think it would be appropriate to complete a trilogy, then perhaps in the future do a prequel. But I still know either way I'd more than settle for any new Diablo release.
I'm not very fond of the Cain idea, but good concept. I just got done playing it again, and I talked to Deckard Cain about the 7 Tombs (in Lut Golein) and he said Tyrael did something and no one found out why, or something like that. I'm beginning to think that he will be the main villain. Maybe the worldstone wasn't corrupted when he said he had to destroy it because it was.
Interesting theory. And I believe what you were referring to about Cain was when he said, "Where the actions of Hell often seem straight forwardly bent on destruction, the motives of Heaven are unfathomable."
I've wondered that with the soulstone destroyed and thus the link from Sanctuary to Heaven/Hell gone, perhaps there'd be a game about another different world that was created. That those angels and demons still have influence over.
This of course seems very unlikely since I think Blizzard likes to develop a single universe for each game and then develop that and allow it to evolve.
Have many of you read the second Diablo book? I forgot the demon's name but it wasn't any of the prime or lesser evils. It was this other demon who was very patient and calculating and waited till the time was right before it began exerting its influence. And it didn't seem to exist in Hell at all but some other dimension. So it's possible a third Diablo could just have a completely new made up demon.
And I really don't see a game where you'd fight an evil Tyrael. Tyrael was just enigmatic, a sort of maverick angel who didn't necassarily agree with either side. Obviously he was against Hell, but disagreed with Heaven that they shouldn't interfere with Sanctuary because if Hell was going to interfere, they might as well have.
