I think the exp we will fight with emperius, cuz he hate the nephalem and he want destroy the black soul stone but when he seek the stone a huge shit will hit the fan.
We need remember Adria is still alive, so, probably, she will recover the stone and diablo will come back.
Teroniss

That's easy. Imperius and Adria. My theory has been since the final scene of Act III that Adria is in fact Diablo, and what Leah became was a Diablo shard, just a clone to distract the heroes from Diablo's true goals.

Duriel and Andariel were in the black soul stone there is only one line in the whole game that references that though, very easy to miss, also in the end cinematic the black soulstone survives, so all it takes is someone to find it and and let it corrupt them and suddenly all 7 evils are back.

Or better yet! That they show more of the heroes that were involved in Diablo 2. Show the aftermath of everything they've been through. That would be awesome :D Maybe they get corrupted and we have to defeat them? Or add stuff from all the novels that were published...

It is a possibility that Lilith is either Adria or they might be working together somehow... or maybe not. I'm really, -really- hoping that they bring the necromancer class back in the expansion, or at least have alot more interaction with the race.
Auron

Oh, and you're all forgetting one major "player" in the Diablo universe. Lilith. Remember her? She was not absorbed in the soulstone and she herself was a major player in the beginning (She, along with Inarius, did come together to create mankind, essentially)

And at the sametime, did you notice that Chris Metzen is like the Joss Whedon of gaming? Mr. Metzen has to ALWAYS corrupt someone in the storyline. (Kerrigan, Leah, Arthas etc) I know that its a major plot device but... when it starts becoming a recurring them in ALL your games... well..

I agree with gblxkzk about all the connections from other games. It's just a weird way to go about storyteling. The "Age of Mortals" theme is crap; Angels definitely should NOT be able to turn human (I miss my Angelic Tyrael D:)
Auron
almost 13 years ago
Thats the samething I'm thinking. The way Blizzard set it up, seems pretty obvious in setting up the next boss fight against Adria. As another commenter had also noted, when defeating Diablo... the souls went back into the soulstone.. but the soulstone remained intact as he plummeted back down.

They clearly aren't in the same realm (as Hell isn't under Sanctuary, but their reach it through a portal) and Tyrael might have been simply teleported out as he fell.
The issue comes from bad storytelling, that's all. Angels shouldn't turn human anyway, that's shit.
gblxkzk

When Diablo died, the souls went back into the soulstone. That's what I think could be deduced according of how they worked in DII.
The theory they moved from the SS to into Diablo is conceivable.
However as to falling from heaven to sanct...

Triface

[url=#user_comment_140872]@gblxkzk[/url], Tyrael fell to Sanctuary from heaven so it is conceivable that the soulstone did the same.
Also why is everyone talking about Andariel, Duriel, etc. still being in the soulstone when the game clearly states that Diablo absorbed all 7 evils into himself?

The most plausible theory for why those souls came back is that they were sealed inside a soulstone, and their souls can therefore only return to the world via soulstone. (Andariel and Duriel were just wandering souls for whatever reason). Soulstones got destroyed, they went to the next host (Black)

Clearing a few things up here: When the black soulstone was charged with the soul of the three prime evils, Andariel and Duriel were sucked together with them (Note that Diablo has a feminine aspect this time around, and Andariel is the only female evil). Next comment^

Trang'Oul may be an exception, though, as he might be the Balance to Anu's good and Tahamet's evil. I doubt he'd be on the kill list, though, unless it's because he's decided that all the Evils being confined means the balance has swung too far towards good and it's time to swing it back.
