In many cartoons The Hero faces a bunch of villains and beats the crap out of them.
Then in the end they unite themselves into a somekind of robotsuit and the hero has to find an mysterious and long forgotten artifact to defeat this Super Evil once and for all...
happy ending and blaa,blaa,blaa... credits roll..
In my mind something like this should never,ever,ever happen in Diablo universe.
I'd rather see the Prime evils as individual beings that have or have not, any relevant meaning or purpose in Diablo III.
Well I sort of saw it as them having no choice about it. I think they would prefer to be autonomous and individual and perhaps they are in great pain as the energies of the Great Abyss smashed their essence into one another. I would imagine if they did get mashed up into one being they would be trying to free themselves of one another. But the Great Abyss could be more like a kind of storming black hole that the Prime Evils had no power over especially in their defeated state. And perhaps Diablo was the strongest at the time and so his physical form dominated over the others.
I realize I'm basing this theory only on the fact that the monster in the intro has three mouths and my not so concrete interpretation of what the Abyss could be.
The Universe of diablo is dark, gothic and cruel place unlike The Universe of warcraft, which world is lighter themed and BORING! If something or someone dies it should stay dead, or atleast the "coming back to life process" should be hard and arduous.
Some people believe that the Prime Evils even planned to be defeated on Sanctuary. I do not believe this at all. I don't believe they are all knowing beings that can predict the future and they are only devious and plotting to a point. I think it's important for the sake of the Prime Evils' mythos that they too can be unexpectedly defeated and their master plans be turned to ruin.
I know what you're saying though. Things need to have some permanence. We need to feel like our actions matter and that Diablo won't come back just because there'd never be a sequel. But I think what's to happen in this last game really will be an end all campaign for one side or another. And Diablo and his brothers, whatever and wherever they may be, this will be their last chance as well. Eventually The Great Conflict, the event that supposedly goes on forever, could possibly end. That would be pretty interesting. I actually felt that the way LoD ended, that it didn't really need a sequel. Obviously I wanted one, but story wise I felt that with the destruction of Worldstone everything wrapped up nicely for the most part. But I also had a different interpretation of the Worldstone and its function. I thought with it being destroyed that all magics in Sanctuary would eventually dissipate and all angels and demons would be forever denied to access to the mortal realm. It's like how Tyrael said it could change things in ways even he could not foresee.
By thing he could not foresee I felt what he meant was that neither Heaven nor Hell play a part in mortal's destiny and could never interfere in any way again. And I thought that was kind of cool. I thought that would be the turning point for mortals when their powers started vanishing completely and inevitably technology would emerge and industry would come along and we'd eventually have a world similar to our Earth now. But apparently, that was not what the destruction of the Worldstone actually would do. I guess it opened the floodgates for demons or something? Which is what I thought Baal was trying to make it be, and by destroying it Tyrael stopped that from happening but I guess I was wrong.
The Abyss at best is usually mentioned in passing. But I believe it is this specific thing as it is capitalized in the game. So it does seem to be a kind of limbo state that is neither heaven nor hell. I personally believe it is there that the defeated prime evils coalesced into the thing we see in the D3 trailer.
Sorry if this is kind of random, but did any of you ever think how odd it is that Baal's and Mephisto's soulstones were stored in elaborate, grand places, while Diablo's was just underneath a backwater town in the middle of nowhere?
But that can also be made into a clever hiding place, no? A little backwater town that no one would really suspect.
The Cinematics and NPC dialogs would suggest they only ventured into Lut Gohlein and the desert. There is no mention of them going anywhere near the Sanctuary. And least not that I can recall.
I would imagine Diablo could sense his brother to the point of not needing to know the actual tomb symbol. What I'd like to know is why he was able to just open some doors while the player actually has to use a staff that tears a hole in the wall to get to the tomb itself.

I believe it was. If he died there and soon after the Worldstone was destroyed I believe his soul got sucked into the void.
