Ya, the story line is definitely awesome. I started playing diablo pretty much when it first came out and while it's nowhere close to our current standards of online games, diablo pretty much shaped a whole new concept of online gaming. Then diablo 2 comes out and of course, it was a huge hit. LoD added the much needed fun to continue diablo 2. All in all, blizzard has created such a huge PC gaming industry that every game creates some sort of angst in people waiting for it (besides diablo, there are also several other huge hits by blizzard - WoW, starcraft, and warcraft). Every one of them has a great storyline and a fun way to explore the map and character. I just can't wait for diablo 3 and all it's going to offer. It just sucks how one has to wait for so long (I think it was first announced in 2008 that blizzard is coming up with diablo 3).
