    posted a message on Barb Lore changes
    Pretty sure Bashiok somewhere in the last year or so stated that they had scrapped the idea of the Barb being the same from D2 because they didn't like one character being that unique from the others, plus they would have to do a bigger change on the female/male barb backstory.

    posted a message on Sin War Books
    I actually enjoyed Knaak's other D books better. Sin War is definitely my least favorite of all the Diablo books. Moon of the Spider had some good stuff in it and I really liked Demonsbane and City of Shadow or whatever it was called. I think part of the problem is how it was written and part of it is the relationship it shows, really doesn't gell with a lot of the in game experience of the Diablo games. Plus, there were lots of places for exploration of plot and lore that he really didn't take up. Maybe his hands were tied, but that took some omph out of the books. More like reading a documentary then a novel.

    posted a message on Reconcilling retcons with lore--books etc
    Ok, well I had to recreate my account because of Curse, but oh well. Anyway. The point of this is an attempt to reconcile all the books and previous game lore with what has been retconed.

    I understand already the basic answer is that the Sin War Trilogy is considered cannon and the rest of the books not so much. But what I am having issue with is more along the lines of if the books happened after the sin war. Such as Demonsbane and Kingdom of Shadow basically as I really enjoyed those. Did they just occur after the sin war and are mistakenly related to the sin war? I know KOS didn't really take place during the sin war, but it refers to it a lot.

    There is of course all the stuff in D1 referring to what was the Sin war and the limited lore in D2 that refers to stuff relating to the sin war.

    Also, the other thing I am sticking on I guess is the Pandemonium fortress in D2. It presents humanity as allied with Heaven, but you don't really get that impression with the way most people discusss/interpret the roles of Heaven/Humans/Burning Hells.

    Anyway, I know all or most of this has been discussed before, just the recent flood of info has got the juices going again.
