So...Tyreal is possessed by Diablo? Or Baal?

[Netherscourge]

I'm trying to figure out the storyline of the game.

It seems from the Splash on the Blizzard site, something rather... um... distoring?... has happened to out old buddy Tyreal.

(Perhaps he spent too much time in the Cow Level?)

Anywho, after killing Diablo and Baal about 800 times a night for over 4 years, it's kinda hard to figure out how this dude is coming back again. Any story concering demons is pretty much open for ANY possibility... but I am curious as to who exactly is behind it.

The game is called Diablo 3, so I presume Diablo is at least partially behind it.

Baal seemed to be the brains behind the last operation - I can't imagine Baal being absent from a Diablo reawakening. He's like the Lord Valdemort of Sactuary...

I wonder what sort of strange story is going to come from this?

I don't think the storyline will be that lame

If you watch the trailer, it shows a new area, reminds me of Gondor in LOTR.
Maybe new Bosses, the two remaining Lesser Evils will definitely be in D3.

Actually I think that Heaven itself isnt all made of good guys.

I was thinking maybe Tyrael is actually the Lord of Lies which the game talks about but we've never seen.

[Telzen]

So you think Tyreal is Belial? Don't see how a demon could have possibly been posing as an angel this entire time.

cant really say i have any idea what the story is but i would love to see all the evils in it, maybe not in the finished game but at least in the xpac. really want to see the take on the other lesser evils and see how they reimagine the evils we have already seen to date. i just hope diablo is less of a dinosaur this time around

Edit:made a new thread.

Or cain is the lord of lies?

That guy just spends way to much time with demons to NOT be the lord of lies.

There was always something strange about him in Diablo1. In Diablo2 you 'rescue' him from tristram even though every one else is slaughtered (even wirt ). Now in diablo3 you find him in the depths of a demonic catacomb. He HAS to be the lord of lies.

Tyrael is probably betrayed by Cain and then ends up like Izzy. Diablo and all his brothers are freed somehow and we start back from square 1.

Ever since DII came out I thought Tyrael was somewhat suspect. Mainly because of the pitchblack within his hood. He didn't quite look like a being of light to me, but he didn't step outside in DII or LoD so I've now come to trust him...

lets hope cain is not the lord of lies, i like him, really dont wanna have to kill him lol.
