i loved that aspect in diablo. lots of books that told the story of the game and about the lore of sanctuary.
"glory and aprobation to diablo lord of terror..."
kinda disappointed there werent more of these books in DII/LOD. but you would really only get quests from them, which isnt that bad, but there isnt much story left to tell by the time you get to DII/LOD after playing DI.
DIII needs more of these, even if you only get quests from them.
I hope they will still do that extra efford to have a storyteller (or your character) read the books outloud, i think they where one of the best voiceacting ever in a game
(Baldurs Gate had also great voiceacting)
those books added so much to the game, the enriched the storyline, the told of events long since passed.
Hell yeah it did. David Warner, Kevin Michael Richardson, Jim Cummings, man those guys where awesome, oh and Grey Delise, Heidi Shannon.

-Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's First Law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one, and only, truth.
the Sin War happened before D1, if D3 is set during the Sin War then it is the prequel to D1.

its not impossible to have a sequel to DII/LOD there are many plausible theories and ideas to consider
Storylines Major/minor -with the worldstone gone demons are more free to enter the world of sanctuary, this is how more powerful demon lords (act bosses of sorts) can come through -as both demons and angels can enter the others realm, I think more demons and angels should be present at the gates to each area, they are suppose to be lock in eternal combat, yet only one angel was in hell possibly fighting demons on their own turf -the last two lesser evil Belial Lord of Lies and Azmodan Lord of Sin elude us still -the eternal battle between the High Heavens and the Burning Hells is still raging -the prime evils returning (or just diablo) without their soulstones as they arent needed for the prime evils to exist -something about Tyrael, is he corrupted? (Kinda been done before, a lot) is he banished from heaven? It may just be me but arent angels forbidden from major influences on mankind or something like that, I forget what it says in the text regards the lore of angels in diablo -Of course if tyrael is corrupted shouldn’t at least one of the seven player chars from d2 also be corrupted, they spent more time in the vicinity of the corrupted worldstone than tyrael did, and im not counting nightmare and hell, unless tyrael is corrupted thru having shards of the worldstone enter his body when he smashed it. -tie up any loose ends from the diablo series not that I can think of any right now but there is probably a few mostly to do with tyrael I believe -the angel inarius, he could perhaps be set free from his prison of mirrors to seek revenge on the prime evils or something -tie in with the diablo novels some how -something with Deckard cain is he still alive, he is getting old, but for some people it would feel like diablo without him. -some mention of the heroes of d2/d2lod, perhaps you could find part of there armor of course the set would have a name like Unknown Barbarian heroes…. or something -you could find out that cain is not the last of the horadrim, there is another, most likely an evil mage or sorts, you kill him then inform cain he once again is the last of the horadrim, cain has a wet eye. -if a playable char returns in d3 like the chars from d1 did in d2, have more of a storyline for them, not just the ‘oh xchar is now a monster I have to kill’ -several powerful demons that have been defeated in the previous games could make a return thru some kind of resurrection/summoning spell, similar to the one Baal used to bring the warlord of blood (bartuc the bloody) back to life -A civil war could break out in Hell, between Belial and Azmodan as they both vie for Ruler of Hell -If D3 is a prequel, you should be able to be involved in the Binding of the three, or the Sin War, or any other event in the diablo History, such as the Blackening of King Leoric (well maybe not that one thats a little recent compared to the Binding of the three and the Sin War) -D3 could be set a short while after the events of LOD and Hell has taken over and you must try to reclaim the World of Sanctuary and possibly Heaven.
some are more plausible than others but hopefully you get my point, there is something t owork with after LOD, i also included a few ideas for a prequel as that is possible too.

the SIn War is before Diablo I, if D3 is set during the Sin War then yes it a prequel to D1, if not then it is the sequel to D2.

What's great about the Forgotten Tower quest is how you get it from reading the moldy tome. And it was that same voice from the first Diablo when you encounter certain books (other books were read by your character). And I really loved that in the first game, coming across these interesting passages and making of them what you will.

yes, the upper tower is in such disarray it would have taking years for it to look like that, and Andariel is only in the Monastary after the Wanderer (and Marius) pass through the gates that lead to the Rogue Pass.

Legacy of Blood takes place not long before the Wanderer reachers Lut Gholein.
exactly my point, it runs in tangent or along side the storyline for Diablo II

Legacy of Blood is written in tangent of the game, innit?
the Sin War trilogy is before Diablo I.
