Anyone else think this sounds WAAAY cooler and darker than the British accent voices they go with in D3 and D4? This hits different, it actually establishes atmosphere really well.
It's so good. This comment's old, but if you're still kickin' around, check out the narrator of Darkest Dungeon if you haven't. He's legendary as well.
Also must be mentioned that the game series of Legacy of Kain (LOK, Soul Reaver, SR 2, Blood Omen, Defiance) had masterful voice acting, especially Simon Templeman who voiced Kain. Never have i heard such voice work in a game series ever since.
These tomes blew my mind the more playthroughs I've done back then. Witnessing how the Horadrim crumbled and submitted to the Prime Evils chilled my soul.
For me the tomes, voiceacting and the music always were the first three best things in this masterpiece of overwhelming, crushing in atmosphere and grim, true horror game. Hands Down Blizzard North, we owe you more than you know. Hands down every man involved in creating this - "THE H&S" The Game.
"All of hell polarized between the factions of Belial and Azmodan while the forces of the high heavens continually battered upon the very gates of hell" That my friends is poetry
The grim atmosphere, the font, the voice, the soundtrack, this is what made this game great besides the RPG elements and the graphics, this is like actually going down to hell. This game invented a genre and is part of what Blizzard is now.
@@OrangeStarHighSchool This atmosphere has marked me so deeply I couldn't really play Diablo II. It's a nice game, though. I've played the first chapter or something, but something was lacking. I didn't feel tied to this world as much as I was when I was playing the first Diablo game.

I'm a 35 year old man who still knows these tomes by heart. This game has had a profound effect on me, this is not a good thing. It is however, honest. Thanks for uploading.
I wasn't that fluent in English when I played this game as a kid, many years ago, so the meaning of the tomes eluded me. Yet now, as I see this video, I realize the tomes foreshadows what happened to Albrecht, before the battle with Diablo. Man, this game was even darker than I realized.
After learning the lore of Diablo i realized they were actually foreshadowing the posession of Aidan (the warrior from the game) who kills Diablo and takes the soulstone within himself. Diablo knew of the great love Aidan had for his little brother Albrecht so he must have planned to possess him all along. As you play through the game as the warrior you have no idea (as that lore was created later on), but learning it years later brings a much juicy reveal to the story.
Just passed here to download it and usee "take heed and bear witness to the truths that lie herein" as my ringtone. But couldn't help to watch all the video and see that lore all again. Man. I love that game!
"all praises to diablo lord of terror and survivor of the dark exile. when he awakened form his long slumber, my lord and master spoke to me of secrets that few mortals know, he told me the kingdoms of the high heavens and the pits of the burning hell engage in an eternal war. he revealed the powers that have brought this discord to the realms of man. my lord has named the battle for this world and all who exist here THE SIN WAR" ----- this phrase was stuck in my head when i played diablo 1 since 1997
It would depend on which voice he used (he's done so many), and what he said during the ceremony. 😲 If he used this, D1 narrator voice, it could be either kinda creepy or very distinguished. 😈 // ♚
Played this when i was a kid in 1996 Alone in the room and its 8pm at night and very quite, while watching this,, i feel like someone is watching behind me.

Actually, the voice actor's name is Paul Eiding. He did the lore from Diablo 2, as well as Mephisto, and Aldaris from StarCraft. "Clearly Tassadar has failed us. You must not."
Man, Diablo 1 was an experience. It may not have the gameplay refinements of the sequels, but it just sucks you right in with the story, music, and sound design, and it probably makes it the most enjoyable for me. I'd say Diablo 1 is almost a different game from the other 2. It's like a survival-horror game.
Yup! In fact, in the FIRST God of War game, this same voice actor, Paul Eiding, performed the voice of Zeus, lord of the Olympian gods. When I first heard Zeus speak to Kratos in God of War, I could not stop thinking, "En Taro Adun, Kratos!"
The sin war sounds to me like 2 groups of bdsm mimes facing off against each other, with both groups trying to gyrate about and rub their nipples faster and more powerfully than the other group of mimes. The sin war.
Kassra Romeo Arturia You're probably right. Instead of uploading another D1 vid on the Tomes, I've added an annotation at the end, where the voice actor credit screen appears. I hope that is acceptable.
Diablo was the first PC game that really grabbed ahold of me and never let go. The music, the mythos, the impending sense of doom everytime you entered the dungeon were just remarkable. Hackers eventually ruined the game completely but it sure was scary RPG fun.
"SomeWhere Down There...I Ain't Too Sure...but SomeWhere, There's a *Whole Pile O'Gold!* Just *Gleaming&Shining.* Just *Waiting* for SomeOne to *Get It!"*
Adding a note in the description is a good idea. I thought I had already done that. I was probably waiting to find out that it is definitely Paul Eiding's voice, although everyone one seems to be in agreement that it is. Also, good idea about adding a caption. Again, I will want to spend some time doing more research for definite confirmation on the voice actor. (But, not today. ;-) ) Thanks!
When I played the Diablo 1 the first time, I played all 3 characters to get the different sets of tomes. For Rogue, I got the Demonic Tomes (Red books). For Sorcerer, I got the Lazarus Tomes (Blue books). For Warrior, I got the Horadrim Tomes (Grey books). My favourites tomes are the Lazarus Tomes.
In D1 and D2 many media files are stored in MPQ files. I've actually extracted many of these files from D2. It's been a long time since I've extracted files from the MPQ file in D1, but there may be a lot of video _and_ audio files in it. I remember hearing many more lore dialogs from NPCs in earlier patches of D1. But, ever since Patch 1.09, I don't hear them anymore. I'm sure they're still in the data file though. Here's one _Butcher_ video I found and uploaded: ua-cam.com/video/_mBtmGUAVgM/v-deo.html It was never included in the game, but it wasn't deleted from the data file either.
We all make mistakes. However, I recommend putting a note in the description and an annotation over the part of the video that names the voice actor in order to make the correction more clear. I would look it up myself, to be certain, but I know Paul Eiding's voice very well from the Metal Gear Solid series as the voice of Colonel Roy Campbell, and there is simply no mistaking it. :)
I'm sorry but I'm missing some story tomes in Diablo I. This is the first time I've ever played Diablo I and perhaps I'm doing it wrong. I'm currently in dungeon lvl4, the last level of the Cathedral and I only find The Realms Beyond by Lazarus. The Great Conflict by the Horadrim is nowhere to be found. I think that it has something to do with the quest group though. I think each quest has its own drops, including story tomes. I have Ogden's Sign instead of Gharbad the Weak. So I think I can only read The Realms Beyond in Ogden's Sign and The Great Conflict by the Horadrim must've been in the other quest. That is the only explanation that I think of. If you have better understanding about the game, would you please further elaborate?
You will only find one Tome on Levels 4, 8 and 12 each time you play through. Which Tomes appear are random. So, it's not uncommon for some Tomes to reappear on one or more of those Levels. It took me many times going through the game to capture them all for this video.
I hope Diablo 4 takes place with Jered Cain and they bring back Paul Eiding as a voice actor he's been in so many games and has an amazing voice for this game
According to Diablo lore, Jered died before the events in D1 began. But, I'm sure Paul Eiding will be back. In D1 he was the voice of the Narrator, Pepin, Lachdanan, Archbishop Lazarus and the Warrior. In D2 he voiced the Narrator, Mephisto and The Summoner. In D3 he voiced Mayor Holus and Chancellor Eamon.
@@WinterDominus Yes. A ghostly apparition of Archbishop Lazarus, King Leoric and Queen Asylla appear in Campaign Mode during a memory replay of her execution in Act I, The Cursed Hold. In Adventure Mode, the room is empty and the memory replay doesn't happen. Lazarus also reappears in D3 every January during _The Darkening of Tristram_ Event.
@1Borys9 Which Cain are you referring to? There was a Jered Cain, who we never see and Deckard Cain, who appears in all the Diablo games. There are 3 authors of these tomes: 1. The unknown author tells the tale of Diablo and the events of the Sin War. 2. Lazarus speaks in first-person and says things like "my Master" and "my Lord". 3. Jered Cain begins with "Take heed and bear witness" and "the last legacy of the Horadrim". This is all well-documented Diablo lore. p

I originally thought that Max Schaffer was the voice actor of the Tomes in Diablo. I have been told that the voice actor was actually Paul Eiding. If this is true, then I am sorry for my error in this video and my apologies to Paul Eiding. p
🤣 You know, I've never noticed that before. You are correct, it should be "sowing" and not "sewing". I find typos in games all the time, but I missed this one. Nice catch, Lattrodon. 👍
@@auronjuce7455 "Sewing" is done with a needle and thread. "Sowing" is starting or planting something. "Showing" is something different all together. I don't know if you misread this or if it was a typo. In D1, the dialog window says "sewing chaos" when the correct form should be "sowing chaos", as @Lattrodon has pointed out.
+princedarienlover You are correct. Those tomes are tied to quests in Single Player (see my D1 quests playlist). This video is about the 9 lore tomes that can be found on certain levels in Single Player or Multiplayer. There were 2 other quest tomes I can think of: The Book of Blood (Arkaine's Valor) and the Steel Tome (Warlord of Blood). And though it's not a tome, when you click the rack on level 15 you can pick up Lazarus' Staff. Take the Staff to Cain and he will give you another chunk of lore. (And the NPCs give you bits and pieces). ;-)
True. And I did that for my Diablo: Music videos. In this one, I wanted the video to match the audio. Besides, I already had a character that had completed the game, so it's not like I had to play the game from scratch each time. I just had to revisit the Levels where the Tomes are found. It still took a while, but it wasn't that bad. p
Once I extracted the files, I clicked on the "Size" column tab to arrange the files in order of their size starting with the largest. I guessed that the top 6 (largest) files were the soundtrack since the music is around 5 to 6 minutes long. I didn't concern myself with the other 1140 files. ;-) p
My apologies for the error I made at the end of this video. *Paul Eiding* is the voice actor for the Tomes.

lol
Anyone else think this sounds WAAAY cooler and darker than the British accent voices they go with in D3 and D4? This hits different, it actually establishes atmosphere really well.
It's criminal that Paul Eiding wasn't hired to read the diablo audiobooks
This is the pinnacle of the narration guys... The phenomenal voice and passion of Mr. Eiding !
Probably some of the best if not the best voice work I've heard in a game it's just epic on so many levels.
It's so good. This comment's old, but if you're still kickin' around, check out the narrator of Darkest Dungeon if you haven't. He's legendary as well.

Not all submit, but oppressed and embrace it such as Zoltun kulle. Sadly, they kill him. Wished, he can be resurrected in fourth game.

Paul Eiding is an essential part of Diablo. Such a powerful voice!
it's amazing how many different voices he provides just for this game, he also voices pepin, lazarus, the warrior and lachdanan

its a heresy to the series.
"Consorting with the fallen ones is heresy!"
"Enough!"
You can always go listen to him in Ben 10 :P

I originally thought that Max Schaffer was the voice actor of the Tomes in Diablo. I have been told that the voice actor was actually Paul Eiding. If this is true, then I am sorry for my error in this video and my apologies to Paul Eiding.

7:24 is that a typo? Did they mean sowing chaos...?
🤣 You know, I've never noticed that before. You are correct, it should be "sowing" and not "sewing". I find typos in games all the time, but I missed this one. Nice catch, Lattrodon. 👍
Sewing and showing are different
@@auronjuce7455 sowing* and yes they are that's why it's a typo.
@@auronjuce7455 "Sewing" is done with a needle and thread. "Sowing" is starting or planting something. "Showing" is something different all together. I don't know if you misread this or if it was a typo. In D1, the dialog window says "sewing chaos" when the correct form should be "sowing chaos", as @Lattrodon has pointed out.
1:20 So it came to be that the Countess, who once bathed in the blood of the rogue Tassadar...
I'm sure Halls of the Blind was supposed to be somewhere in there, and I think maybe a tome saying something about the chamber of bone was one
+princedarienlover You are correct. Those tomes are tied to quests in Single Player (see my D1 quests playlist). This video is about the 9 lore tomes that can be found on certain levels in Single Player or Multiplayer. There were 2 other quest tomes I can think of: The Book of Blood (Arkaine's Valor) and the Steel Tome (Warlord of Blood). And though it's not a tome, when you click the rack on level 15 you can pick up Lazarus' Staff. Take the Staff to Cain and he will give you another chunk of lore. (And the NPCs give you bits and pieces). ;-)
I am here to take heed and bear witness to the truths that lie herein, for they are the last legacy of the Horadrim.
True. And I did that for my Diablo: Music videos. In this one, I wanted the video to match the audio. Besides, I already had a character that had completed the game, so it's not like I had to play the game from scratch each time. I just had to revisit the Levels where the Tomes are found. It still took a while, but it wasn't that bad.

Paul Eiding rules!
Once I extracted the files, I clicked on the "Size" column tab to arrange the files in order of their size starting with the largest. I guessed that the top 6 (largest) files were the soundtrack since the music is around 5 to 6 minutes long. I didn't concern myself with the other 1140 files. ;-)
