Heya, everyone! I don't usually post in the Diablo subforum, as I mainly stick to the Warcraft lore ones. However, in honor of Reaper of Souls coming out, I took a break from making Warcraft lore videos and made one about the lore of the Diablo universe. I ended up splitting the video into two, one for Pre-Diablo/Diablo 1 and one for Diablo 2/Diablo 3. I figured I'd post them here in case some people were curious as to the story behind Diablo. Did you know there even was a "coherent" story behind the series? Blizzard really fleshed out the universe between Diablo 2 and Diablo 3.
Wondering why we're fighting Diablo for a third time in Diablo 3, and why this version of Diablo is the strongest yet storywise? Wondering why Malthael is doing what he's doing, and why, in a warped sense of logic, it actually makes sense? Well, feel free to take a listen in the background while you're filling out those bounties or traveling those Nephalem Rifts!
Pre-Diablo/Diablo 1:
Diablo 2/Diablo 3:
I'm not sure if I'm actually violating the rules by posting these here. My goal isn't really to promote my stuff, although that is a side effect of me trying to spread all the lore knowledge in this way. I really am just trying to inform more people about the lore of the universe. Mods, if this violates the terms of service, feel free to lock or delete it. I won't feel bad.
Hopefully y'all enjoy!
