I've been thinking about the possible plot for D3, and I have to wonder whether Andy and/or Duriel might show up again. While they were defeated in D2, I remember Cain explicitly saying that Andariel had been "banished back to the burning hells" after defeating her. As in, she's not dead, just back home. I can only assume the same happened to Duriel seeing as he's also a Lesser Evil.
So, unlike the "big three" whose soulstones were smashed, presumably getting rid of them for good, A and D are still up and about. And with the Worldstone smashed, it seems logical that they could return back from Hell. Not to mention Azmodan and Belial...perhaps there's a possibility of the Lesser Evils conspiring?
Wasn't Diablo already in Hell when you killed him in the first place? What did smashing any of their soulstones really achieve? I never really understood this stuff.
Also, I think Andariel and Duriel back in the game would probably suck and be a bit too repetitive.
I agree that Andy and Duriel aren't necessarily dead. I don't mind fighting them again if it's new gameplay, really. (The same goes for Meph and Baal.) And having the four Lesser Evils in cahoots would add another faction to what might be a many-sided war. I do think Duriel and Andy would be subserviant to Azmodan and Belial then, since the latter two'd be a bit peeved that the others went off to help the Prime Evils in D2.
In regards to Baal: I think it's a pretty safe assumption that his soulstone got the Hellforge treatment as well, given what happened to Mephisto's and Diablo's. It's just too important of a detail to just forget. I mean, can you seriously imagine Tyrael saying," Ah, well we already destroyed the other two and I tossed a sword at the Worldstone, so I think we'll be fine. Besides, I'm hungry."
As for the four Lesser Evils, there's nothing to say that we'll be fighting any of them. It certainly seems a good possibility given that neither Azmodan nor Belial have appeared in any of the games, but nothing is certain. Hell, there's nothing stopping Blizz from throwing a whole new character into the mythos.
What we know is, since the Worldstone has been destroyed, there will be no more soulstones.
The soulstones have nothing to do with the Worldstone. The Worldstone was a barrier that prevented the heavens and the hells from noticing the existence of Sanctuary (and thus, unable to freely travel there).
The soulstones were designed to be prisons for the spirits of the Prime Evils when they were 'banished' to the mortal realm in Diablo 1.

And im pretty sure that Tyrael tell us at some point that the soulstone are made from the worldstone.

Rings a bell, but I can't find any reference in the dialogues listed at the D2 Wiki. (You'll find all a character's dialogues under that character, e.g. Cain.)
I think it was in one of the Sin War trilogy novels, actually. I haven't read them myself, but I think I heard someone say the same thing (about soulstones being from worldstone) and referenced the books for it.
