It would be great to have Tyreal and Cain play bigger roles in quests, maybe have an archangel henchman? Anyway, i digress. They would have major roles in the story and play a major part in the outcome or ending of the story.

But another idea is to have different stories depending on ur character maybe? How about different story paths depending on quests, time of completion etc?. Is it worth moving away from a linear story line and start playing around with that a bit? Personaly i think it would add to the replay value if there was more than one way to play out the story.

Riddle them with fear!
Kill them if they get that far...

My vote is for a Ninja type character, maybe a demon/half man character that changes from one to the other, an angel (similar to Tyrial) or why not have a vampire or another sort of angel type character that isn't actually an angel? Say a priest or something? Afterall it is good vs evil right? What about a mythical type character? Dragons, Merlin the magician etc?

Just putting ideas forth

The best thing is for them to surprise us and just blow our minds away. I still think they should continue on the story from Diablo 1 and 2 into 3 and just make it bigger, nicer with more stuff and lots of replay value. Alot of playable characters with lots of different skills would be great too.

THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS TO MAKE SURE GAME-PLAY IS BETTER!

A nice difference is given different story line choices. Say what would happen if u sided with hell and helped conquer the world or a choice in a part of the story that would later affect the outcome, different endings etc. Just thought it would be a point of difference as opposed to a linear story line.

now thats what i call a deep story! lol if blizz replicate this story i recon u should ask for part of the profits hahaha

Imagine the uproar if they did rush it though? Imagine what would happen if they put out a cruddy game with a D3 title slapped on the front? I dunno about u but i'd be pissed off big time!

*Calm down...* I'm glad they r taking their time on D3 so we can waste our little lives away with something worthwhile.

I was always supporting the view that Diablo 3 shouldn't change its identity. By that i mean it shouldn't go MMORPG or change it into an FPS or something its not. I'd throw my PC out the window if that happened! Blizzard should, (provided they are working on D3) keep the general mechanics the same. In its genre, D2 and LOD are waaaaaaay ahead of the field. D3 should be just a continuation and a better, brighter (or darker) more action/skills/story/ anything else they wanna add than the previouse version, the same as D2 was better than and a continuation from D1.

Yea and time isn't really the issue for me as long as they get the game done right. No point in giving us a crappy version of D2 with no depth or anything if all they wanted to do was get it out right away, id rather wait till 2010 and get a proper, unique game that i'll always wanna waste my life away with lol.

Oh and the heaven vs hell thing does sound intreguing, wouldn't mind fighting on Diablo's side either.

Any source or info on any details in regards to D3's story line, playable characters, size etc?

Definately more, longer, bigger, better is good! and i mean that goes from storyline to characters to items etc. but definately something a long the lines of a bigger inventory pack as ur gonna have lots more items in D3, better graphics, animation and definately a tad less emphasis on repetition and a tad more on skill, technique and strategy probably? Id definately like heaven to be there as a setting, as we already visit hell and wouldnt mind having more than one body guard etc or mercenary u can hire etc. Any suggestions on that?

i agree with theikos, if we give the gamer the ability to create his/her own character the game will start to feal more like Neverwinter nights or Bauldur's gate or something...diablo is distinctly different in that the game play, character leveling and creation is diablo-esque. So in this case id rather have more pre-defined characters that have more and different skills, rather than follow on a Neverwinter nights/Bauldur's gate type game.

Nah i don't agree with robotics in Diablo at all, simply coz of the time in history the game setting is. I mean, the characters available to pick from all use medievel type weapons, the bows and arrows, swords of different types, shields etc. none of them have any futuristic type weapons, eg guns and firearms. I recon we should still stick with the time setting the game is at but add more and different type of characters, say Vampires, Angels maybe? Demons? Demon Lord? Adding a character with a machine gun and grenade launchers doesn't make sence in this game i dont think. What about a dwarf or an elf character of sorts?

Another class i wouldn't mind getting my hands on would be a ninja but thats pretty much a dark assassin, but what about a weapon master? or a gryphon rider from heaven? would those ideas work in D3? what would their skill trees be like?

What about a tyrial type character or a high angel of that sort?

...what about the 3 prime evils eventualy being able to merge into an all powerfull being that u'd have to beat? and maybe the only to beat his would be to be possessed by tyrial (an angel from heaven) and tyrial's motivation to possess the hero would be to undo all that he has done...just a thought?
