HOLY MOTHER OF GOD!...Undead are rising up around the Tristam area because a shooting star fell on it, and the reasoning is just a thinly veiled excuse to exposit the plot and relive the glory days of Diablo 1 at the player, including having to kill King Leoric again.
The reason behind the shooting star? After blowing up the Worldstone at the end of D2, Tyrael was blasted so hard he fell to Earth and lost all his angel powers or some shit and SOMEHOW this caused all the undead to rise from the grave, because. Oh, by the way, did you know that Tyrael is a twigger? Because he is, a super whiny one too. He spends the entire game whining and doing nothing of importance, which is exactly the sort of thing that people who liked him back in D2 wanted.
So anyway there's this loli called Leah and she's like "I heard my mom was a bitch and she slept with some adventurer dude FORESHADOWING AND D1 REFERENCE" and I'm like "WHOA, is Adria supposed to be secretly a hotty or did the Fighter from D1 had some weird fetishes?"
Anyway so after a bunch of pointless filler, some butterfly fairy woman from Power Rangers kills Deckard Cain, thus continuing the tradition of Blizzard pissing on the rich lore of their fictional worlds since World of Warcraft.
so filler filler filler SUDDENLY ADRIA appears and she's all like "OH MAN, MY DAUGHTERU, I MISSED YOU AND I'M SORRY TO LEAVE YOU FOR UNSUSPICIOUS REASONS" but then a Blizzard employee threw some darts at the wall and the results came up as "Adria is actually a traitor who wanted to revive Diablo" and SURPRISE the loli was conceived just as a new host for Diablo which explains why all the preview pictures of Diablo had extremely feminine hips and walking sway and most people predicted the plot for that, wonder why no one assumed that maybe Diablo took on the body of a tranny?
So Diablo goes to the heavens and start killing shit and the Angels are all "TYRAEL THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT" which is entirely is, because he's a whiny twiggah who does nothing but whine every moment of the game, and then most of the Angels die, except this one guy who is VERY ANGRY against the humans but Tyrael uses Deux Ex Machina to disable them all but then there is this one Angel who is ANGRIER for some reason and vows revenge TOTALLY NOT AN OBVIOUS EXPANSION BAIT.
Then you kill Diablo, which is pretty pointless, considering how much killing Diablo has accomplished for the last 2 games. The End.
So anyway D3's plot sucks.
The only significant improvement I've noticed is that the drops are much better. And you get levels pretty quick if you play on master (i cannot play on torment yet), but you could do the same before the new patch with mp10 (I think they removed monster levels now). It is also funny how the described master as a difficulty level for players with legendary equipment: I have only two legendary items and I can't use them yet with my new chars. I also heard that they did something to the skills to, but I don't really now because Iam popamoleI just spam rapid fire, throw grenades and run around and don't play the game seriously.
Speaking at his GDC panel entitled Shout at the Devil: The Making of Diablo III, former game director Jay Wilson came out and said it: the controversial Real-Money Auction House hasn't panned out the way Blizzard thought it would, and they'd probably pull the plug if it were an easy thing to do.
I wonder if the new Adventure mode is going to make Campaign completely obsolete once you get through it for the story and difficulty unlocks.

From what I've experienced based on patch 2.0, after getting a new character to level 60 thanks to this 50% bonus experience thing, I can pretty much say you'll only need something resembling skill on difficulty Torment 3+. I didn't think you could make Normal more of a baby mode, but they have and it's now basically there for people who just want the story, god help them.
Haha! Fuck arcane enchanted dorks!
This is really the type of items they should have had in the first place. They've really done wonders with the itemization, though they are not there yet. This could also potentially be an item that is not obsolete once you are past the level requirment, which was a problem in D3.Haha! Fuck arcane enchanted dorks!
