Let's face it, we've all been addicted to Diablo II. And Diablo III is way more customizable in terms of character development, a.k.a. the core of the game. Now take that, and add a more tactical and thought-provoking combat system, new resource systems, better means of crafting, better vendors, dedicated PvP, and other new systems, Diablo III is shaping up to be one Hell of a game.
Pun intended.
Alas 'cept story wise, but that's another aspect which will go off topic.
But yes Diablo III is looking to be a great game

I have nothing personal against him, but i absolutely loath his writing style, like how I love the WarCraft universe, Knaak keeps butchering up my favorite lore characters and inserting his own ones.
Not only that, but Knaak's writing style in general is bad, he repeats words for lack of better description "Orbs, Behemoth, Leviathan" but also inserts stupid idiotic nonsense that really doesn't belong "Rhonin and Raptor Army from Night of the Dragon."
Yes I suppose you can call this rant, but really the true purpose of this thread is to see from you guys if reading Knaak's work on the Diablo universe worth it?

Hello I'm AnathemicOne (Well I wanted Anathemic, but it's taken sadly) and I greet you all from California of the West Coast of America! I'm an aspiring writer (hopefully getting a website up soon to post works), senior in high school (class of 2011 FTW), gamer, and a hardcore fan of Blizzard Entertainment to boot.

Even though I am asian, my first game wasn't Nintendo-based, Square Enix-based, or any other Japanese game company-based; it was in fact Age of Empires II from the late Ensemble Studios (rest in peace!). From their excellent RTS I was introduced into Blizzard's own RTS of StarCraft. From there, I moved to Diablo, Diablo II, Diablo II: Lord of Destruction (No Hellfire sadly), StarCraft: Brood War, finally into WarCraft 3: Reign of Chaos.
From WC3, I transitioned into World of Warcraft (vanilla being the best MMO ever) and into Burning Crusade, finally into Wrath of the Lich King where I canceled my subscription due to school and the fact the MMO was going downhill, though Cataclysm atm looks promising.
So after WoW I decided to move onto simple console gaming on the 360 where I was exposed to FPS games such as the Halo series (CE still the best, though I played it on PC), Call of Duty series, etc. Console gaming ironically brought me to the great company of BioWare through Mass Effect and Dragon Age: Origins and I'm a huge fan of them.
However in time, I was bored and displeased with BioWare's direction of Mass Effect 2 (which I bought and was displeased) and Dragon Age, so I decided to go back on PC and look for other games, I found the game The Witcher from CDProjekt (One of the best companies ever!) and fell in love with it, and now I'm back on PC.

It was Blizzard Entertainment that sparked my love for creative writing, I loved the lore they put in their games and I wanted to created my own little universe. Since then I've been reading books both good and bad to improve my writing.
But anyways, Diablo was always my favorite franchise from Blizzard (coming in a second place tie beteen WarCraft and StarCraft), and I hope now that Diablo III is coming out, I will have a wonderful experience in this community and hopefully add my own creativity in here too!
