You know, for the Lord of Terror, Diablo doesn't come off as terrorizing. I mean, what has he really accomplished over the years? He didn't even free Baal, Marius did. If he didn't have the Prime Evil moniker, he'd be Hell's whipping boy.
To be fair, were the roles reversed in that scene, I'm pretty sure Marius would have ended up with a giant flaming sword in his gut. The half-demon, half-man, tortured wanderer, managed to 1v1 Tyreal and not get the shit beaten out of him. That has to rank fairly high up there on his list of achievements.

Well, he mostly tears shit up in between games. 3 is in NEW Tristram for a reason, after all.

Sure thing! When Diablo III launches, your character name will be visible to you in a variety of locations including the character selection screen and game menu. For other players, your character's name will only appear within your player profile, as hover text the friends list, and when your character participates in quest dialog. In every other context, your BattleTag will be shown.
Also, just to clarify, your BattleTag identifier (the numbers appended to the end of your BattleTag nickname) will only be visible in the "Add Friend" dialog and on a player's profile page. When you're just playing normally in a group, your BattleTag nickname should display.
No, but we did miscommunicate, and that's our bad.
To help clear up that confusion, the current design is something we feel pretty confident in. Even after carefully reviewing all of your feedback and analyzing the pros and cons of the system, we found that BattleTags are a better way (overall) to personally identify individuals from game to game, even if they change characters.
It helps players build up street cred, or even the opposite type of experiences where you'd want to avoid another player entirely -- something that would only be possible with an account-wide nickname. As a result, we felt that confusing BattleTags with character names in Diablo III was detrimental to those types of benefits.
We know that some of you may disagree with that approach, and that's totally fine. We just encourage you to give BattleTags a chance when Diablo III releases so you can see how the system works in the actual game environment. You might find that you actually like it! Or, you might not, and we'd love to hear your feedback either way.

Well, in the first game he was just establishing his power base I think, and in the second game he wasn't really Diablo until he went through the hell portal. We don't know exactly what he did in there but presumably he invaded and took over some portion of it before you killed him.

To be fair, the body he was inhabiting was no slouch in the power department either, and he wasn't even one of those newfangled Nephalem dealies.
Also he probably had a Godly Plate of the Whale equipped.

I'd hope that ancient evil that existed since the dawn of time can equal an archangel at even 1/10th capacity, if not batter it at half strength. The animated short does not support this theory however.

Well everyone has one free battletag name change anyway. Has anything popped up about simply updating the beta client to play at retail vs a full reinstall?
Just to check in, other than going back to look through my email inbox (which isn't a guarantee, since I may have deleted some of them), is there any way on the site to just tell which ones you've done and which ones you haven't? Because that would be convenient as hell.
First they came for the Muslims, and we said NOT TODAY, MOTHERFUCKER!

Quick question, for anyone who ordered their CE through Gamestop.com, did your card get charged for it recently? Wouldn't make much sense but I'm looking at a charge that is currently pending for that exact amount.

Hrm, that quote says battletags and battletag nicknames.
Are they different? I don't see any option for a nickname for my battletag in my bnet account.
I don't like the idea that instead of being Galedrid (or a given character name) I'm going to be seen by everyone as Galedrid#1367
That is pretty stupid and impersonal and is everything I hate about people who have e-mail addresses like <somename>154737 at whatever. It's impersonal and uncreative.

Yeah. I could really use some inspiration for this one...
Still yeah. I don't like character names not really meaning anything to anyone but you.
Mass Effect 3's multiplayer allows you to name individual characters but no one seems them, ever; you're only identified by your Live ID (or origin or PSN). It makes coming up with creative names kinda pointless. Though given how "disposable" individual characters are in ME3 with its upgrade system, its probably worse than D3 could ever be.
I'd hope that ancient evil that existed since the dawn of time can equal an archangel at even 1/10th capacity, if not batter it at half strength. The animated short does not support this theory however.
Diablo is considered the most cunning of the three, and usually the one with the most elaborate plans.
So him being beating was probably all according to keikaku.

The best part is that you have to use unique names for your ME3 multiplayer characters, so even though nobody will ever see them, you can't just call each character "a" or something.

A lot of times they will pre-authorize the funds before the ship out. If they didn't settle it, it will probably stay "pending" for a couple of days, only to vanish and reappear the day they ship it, only this time fully settled out.
Have you guys seen the Wrath cinematic they posted on the diablo site?

I thought it was interesting how boring they made angels and demons having a war seemed...
Honestly, it is not really my style either, but as an introduction to the Angiris council I guess it works, though an explanation for what the supposed trap was would have been nice.
That said I think for the time they had and what they wanted to show it's acceptable and I certainly enjoyed it.

He did, while trapped in a soulstone, essentially corrupt the King Leoric and the Archbishop Lazarus so that they sent off their loyal/incorruptible subjects to war with Westmarch as well as give him the body of Prince Albrecht to inhabit back before Diablo 1 started.
On the other hand, the 3 Prime Evils did get their ass kicked by the 4 Lesser Evils.

I thought the explanation for the trap was easy enough - Diablo was just weakening the council's unity. Inarius (Imperius now I guess) was the one to break.
I have a break coming up as well, from about now until the 2nd week in June (with the exception of working part time)
I just have to decide how much of my time is spent doing girlfriend things vs. Sanctuary things
On the other hand, the 3 Prime Evils did get their ass kicked by the 4 Lesser Evils.
I thought it was implied that they let that happen so they could corrupt Sanctuary for use in their war with heaven?
Well yes, that was one of their goals. But they were doing that even without the power struggle. In Diablo 2, Baal planned to corrupt the worldstone with his soulstone and thus the humans, and use that to take back Hell first from the Lesser Evils.
