Diablo 3 | The Full Story

[@DarkLOREDash]

To everyone asking: Yes Reaper of Souls is coming. I wanted it to be separate as its going to be long & the story deserves a stand alone video, than starting at hour 6 of a Diablo 3 vid!.

Right on! Take your time Dash. We’ll be ready when you are ready.

Hey mate, I just wanted to drop in and let you know that I somehow stumbled across this series and it's officially eaten up my weekend. I've got some wicked dental procedures going on in a couple of days and have been in a lot of pain, but having the option to sit down and listen to you narrate DIablo lore in long-form has at least given me brief respite. Bloody well done.

@@DarkLOREDash I hate to do this, but I really can’t help myself. (Sorry) Is ROS a long way off? Thank you for the amazing effort you’ve put in. I never played 1 and 2 but watching your videos has inspired me to dig out my brand new, sealed copies of 3 and ROS and play through while I watch this one. Then I might go back and play 1’and 2 before 4, only because I already own 3. I played an ungodly amount of 3/ROS on Xbox but my PC broke literally the day I bought them, they’re packed in a box somewhere. I really mean this. Thanks for all the effort and inspiring me to dive back into this franchise. I don’t mean any pressure at all. I just can’t help myself from asking if you have any idea how far off it might be.

It would have been so easy to be like, "and then I killed like a billion monsters, and then the witch lady showed up again and said some bullshit and I cut off her head, it was lit" but you didn't. You narrated practically every last little thing that happened, even the seemingly insignificant things were super engaging with you at the wheel. I love it. Subbed.

[@BlackLabel2021]

The one thing that's always killed me is that they expect us to believe Tristram got absolutely destroyed at the end of d1. At the start of d2 we have to set up a portal just to get to Tristram. Then in d3, we're expected to believe people were like, "why don't we just set up town a block away from Tristram? That'd be enough space between us and the bad juju right? "

[@thepastmaster5643]

Tristram's destruction was far more believable than them building a new city next to it between D2 and D3 IMO. XD D3 is fun but some things make no sense.

[@josephmoore9706]

@@thepastmaster5643 well, it is a small town... like just an outpost for trading.

[@taranwanderer7747]

It makes sense to me. Tristram was probably just a town that sprung up on a trade route. With its destruction New Tristram poped up to fill the hole left by old Tristram. It may not have been the wisest decision, but it was presumably a profitable one...

[@danvilleduncan3783]

Listen we have to feed the monster build a town every time

[@gamer1X12]

Bro people live in dangerous reckless places all the time. In real life, a big portion of humanity decided to permanently settle natural-disaster prone regions. There's also many years between Diablo games.... a new generation of traders/adventurers/rough folk looking for a quick buck wouldnt give a shit about some bad history 30+ years ago. Besides, New Tristram is specifically described as a small trading outpost/farm town. Its not like they built a Caldeum-level city in the Tristram area.

[@danieloptun6698]

My favorite part of your storytelling is how you implement the environment into the story, I always loved the asthetic, but I never realized just how good it was implemented into the story. Or maybe you are just very good at putting the visuals into the story

[@TheSilentScreamX]

I just watched this entire video in one sitting while "busy" at work today. Really great job. I probably haven't played the D3 campaign since it became optional with Reaper of Souls, so it was really cool to go back and revisit the story. I'd forgotten quite a bit of it. Looking forward to the RoS video.

[@Stiggandr1]

Diablo 1 and 2 were pulpy. Diablo 3 is just campy. 1 and 2 at least pretended to be serious. They had over the top gore, existential horror, and heroic one liners, but they felt reasonably coherent, with villains that matched their environment. 3 doesn't even feel like it's trying. Everything is so ridiculous it's more comical than horrible. Ahh yes. Next to our quant village is the BOG OF DOOM, leading to the haunted DROWNED TEMPLE, which takes you to the old manor over the HALLS OF AGONY, leading to the CHAMBER OF SUFFERINGGGG!!!!! (where the interior decorator uses wicker baskets full of heads like poporie to create that devilish ambiance.) Maybe I'm wrong, but there's more fresh cadavers in Leorics manor than there were in all of Hell in D1 & 2. imo, It's the WoW-ification that affected Starcraft 2 as well. Thanks for the video though! You're phenomenal, using your 1st person narration to create seamless stories like this is wonderful.

[@ElderSnake90]

WOW-ification is definitely what I call it too. I was so disappointed in just the aesthetic change in D3. I loved the gritty gothic feel in D1 and D2. I pretty much just played through D3 to experience the story the first time round, and never went back to it.
