Exacly. Diablo is perhaps best suited for the task at hand, so he does it. Doesn't mean Mephisto is necessarily the leader.
Indeed, so he has to do it, with orders or not. Why such a waste for one's talents to do nothing? Mephisto acknowledges this from the quotes I have posted, thus seeming that he is leading the campaign
Or that Diablo is just merely the best suitable pawn for the task? Diablo is after all (from the game) physically adapt to command armies just like Mephisto and Baal, when Mephisto says:
"Send forth your Terror into Hell"
its a safe guess that Diablo is the best choice to put fear into his followers and lead them into battle
Or just some kind of purpose that would require all of them, perhaps such as opening a portal into Hell.
This plan you speak of could indeed exist, but I still don't get what you have to support Mephisto being the leader except that they did go to Travincal and not the other way around.
I don't know to what extent Mephisto could have left his Durance, but I do know Baal couldn't really move, so it was up to Diablo to fix things once he broke free. Baal was the closest to him, so naturally he went therey first, joined up with Baal, and continued to Kurast. That's why they gathered there, most likely in order to open the portal into Hell, since clearly Diablo leaves afterwards, so no massive plan could have taken place there.
They could have gone through the plan before opening the portal. However, Mephisto clearly greets both Baal and Diablo in the beginning of the cinematic, indicating that they have not seen each other for very long. Thus I do not know when this plan would have been excecuted, and where Mephisto fits in as the leader.
Umm, Mephisto clearly says for Diablo to enter hell:
Mephisto: Now my younger brother, it is time to assume your true form: Diablo, Lord of Terror!
-Diablo walks toward the hell portal and stops at the entrance looking back-
Mephisto: You are the harbringer of our return Diablo, send forth your Terror into Hell.
Not sure what you don't get about those quotes, Mephisto is clearly sending diablo into hell, "Send forth your Terror into Hell" really acknowledges this prediciment.
Why? They wish to be reuinited so they can once again spread chaos.
A redundant response, let me take you in my point of view:
A gathering of all three Prime Evils is rare, when they were banished they went on their own seperate ways, Mephisto - Kurast, Baal - Desert, Diablo - Tristram. SO if they were to gather, which they did, it must have been some kind of ultimate purpose. This purpose being I believe a plan set into motion when they were first banished, led by Mephisto himself
What I've said was that why would Diablo after freeing Baal travel into Kurast to visit Mephisto, this being at the end of Act 2 cinematic. Yes they've been in Kurast but the question is why?
Sorry if I misinterpeted this but 'they were in Kurast'?
Last time i checked Diablo just finished off Tristram and Baal was still in Tal'Rasha. Mephisto was probally already free from his soulstone, so why would Diablo after rescuing Baal go to Mephisto? My opinion is that Mephisto devised the plan before the Horadrim sealed them in the soulstones.
Alright you two are arguing about a stupid prediciment that is not related to the topic. This is too see which one of three prime evils will win in a deathmatch, either head-on, armies, etc. Criteria of the topic includes: LORE, GAMEPLAY, OFFICIAL INFORMATION (Blizzard), or a MIXTURE of the three
Everyone should care about strategy and tatics, if not then it would be like 20 men take on Russia
Being the eldest and wisest, Mephisto probally knows about his brother's secrets and weakpoints etc, therefore Mephisto would be able to critical hit any of his two brothers, this being jsut the three head on
Now if it were armies led by the three Primes, Mephisto would probally win this too, using strategy and tactics to outmanuver the counterpart armies. Diablo would probally just charge head on, while Mephisto and Baal gather up and siege

Meh, I can dodge about 3/4 of it
