Diablo 3 Hints from the new Book Series?

[Darkmatter]

I know we have a thread about this, but take a lookie at this:

Q - Rathi: Any ifnormation on Diablo3? Have you been asked to write a further story?
A - Knaak: What happens in the Sin War is significant, as I mentioned, toward the future. I know that Blizzard is very eager to make Diablo fans happy.


Q - Medievaldragon: Hope I am not spoiling much at this point, however I really have to ask. Blizzard introduced a new Pandemonium Event monster named Lilith (Act V) in Diablo II Patch 1.11. You can read about her at: http://www.battle.net/diablo2exp/mon...5-lilith.shtml
A - Knaak: Answer for Medievaldragon: She is, I believe, although she will look a little different by the game's point. Her part in the trilogy is major.


Q - Medievaldragon: How much of the book is creation of yours, and how involved is Chris Metzen behind the canon storyline of Diablo: The Sin War Trilogy? Do you think the ramifications of this book impact in the storyline of Diablo 3 the game?
A - Knaak: This is a pure collaboration between myself and Chris/Blizzard. All that is written is passed by him and the others there. This will be canon and has adjusted earlier info. The ramifications here will be used for any future project...and I ain't writing for a dead game.


Q - Deathshade|EU: So... Diablo 3?
A - Knaak: I am not writing for a dead world...but a world with dead.

I smiled when I read this. ^^

[Krovvy]

I did too, but Blizzard and everyone associated has been teasing us for years.

[Darkmatter]

Teasing builds up anxiety and anticipation though.

[Laharl]

Makes me hopeful again, and it might just get shattered by them. A game about the sin wars... Sounds great already.

[McGorilla]

Hee! Sounds good...That thing he said about Lilith sounded good. Sounds like D3 is definite, unless of course I misread it.

[Darkmatter]

Now we wait. OMG OVERUSED I KNOW.

[Laharl]

I'm one of many people who are far less excited by the prospect of new Blizz releases. The constant delays, etc has done in our optimism and interest. I might get it if it DOES come out, but probably not...

[Darkmatter]

Not a true fan then IMO...Blizzard usually delays but they deliver when the time comes regardless. ;D

[Laharl]

Oh no, I was a fan. I'm just tired of delays and incompetence on their part.

Just look at 1.10 & 1.11 of Diablo II.

[Darkmatter]

You're just being impatient again. XD

Good things come to those who wait.

[Laharl]

But all is lost if you hesitate.

You see, games like Ghost were supposed to be released in '02. They had better be pretty damn good.

[Glowpole]

I don't know bout you guy but I have played d2 in ages but yet there has always been one thing I always wanted to know about d2. The sin war. It was never talked about much and I always wanted to know the story behind the great sin war.


Well richard A. knaack has did it again and release the first of a 3 book special on the diablo sin war..I got the first one. Woot.

[Dragnskull]

scan the pages and email them to me plz

[Laharl]

Tell me if it's worth the money in a little while please.

[Glowpole]

well im half-way threw and its pretty interesting so far. The three evils are compteing for the souls of humans right now or somthing MEPHISTO is the bad ass in this book so far.

[Laharl]

Neat, so it's better than most the other Diablo books? I might buy it then.

[Darkmatter]

-Merged with other thread.

[Glowpole]

[McGorilla]

Why buy a book? There's a thing called a "library" you know?

Some might not stock up on Diablo III books, or stuff like that.*
