What I find really interesting about Diablo’s character development is how the devs through the years have designed him with the classic hulking, brutish demon look. You would think he’s a physical monster. Yet, as you described, he is tactical and methodical and doesn’t resort to physical rampages. It’s a fun dichotomy and subversion of expectation!
@@trojon True, true! I guess that’s the divide between lore design and game design. Especially with D1, he had to be a physical menace to be a good final video game boss, no matter what the lore would say.
very nice video. I really enjoyed the way you laid it all out, and also found the artwork you included throughout to be really cool! I always love seeing Diablo art, it's just so freaking cool
I wonder how will they get Diablo back in D4. The primes are reborn in hell, the gates are shot and Meph got out only because of us and Neyrelle. Hope for some good crafty lore to explain Diablo's new diabolic plan:D
The gates being 'shot" really doesn't mean anything given the fact in the first diablo he was summoned in and the following game is the exile of the the prime 3 id really say its not a how but a when, An the answer to that i hope is he is the last prime in the game we fight not like in D2 where we fight Baal an sure in D3 we fight diablo but again his defeat os overahadowed by maltheal
@@jarbroham5541 In D1 he wasn't summoned, he was in the soulstone under Tristram Monastery. I don't know how the dark exile happened technically, but I believe it's not that easy to get from hell to Sancturay (although after World Stone distruction it is certainly easier than it used to be). Didn't Mephisto manipulate us "trap" him in the soulstone, coz he wanted us to take him to Sanctuary?
Bayle? VILE BAYLE? CURSE YOU BAYLEEEEEEEEE. I HEREBY VOW, YOU WILL RUE THIS DAY! BEHOLD, A TRUE DRAKE WARRIOR AND I IGON! YOUR FEARS MADE FLESH! SOLID OF SCALE YOU MIGHT BE FOUL DRAGON, BUT I WILL RIDDLE WITH HOLES YOUR ROTTEN HIDE! WITH A HAIL OF HARPOONS, WITH EVER LAST DROP OF MY BEING!
Any chance youll do a video on all the d4 seasonal lore? I know you did one for season 5 but didnt see s1-4. I didnt finish out most of the seasons with not vibing with the game state for a bit so i missed out on the lore lol. Looking forward to vessel of hatred atm
@NyxVellum wanted to say thank you! I went and watch s1 and s2 lore video and watched the one where you played through s3 content. Appricate it! Needed to get myself caught up story wise for VoH
@@NyxVellum So what about Malthael and Inarius? That's not the end of their story I assume then? I also assume that they then would re-form from the crystal arch, meaning they'll be back in heaven again. Inarius would love that I think.
@@NyxVellum You piqued my interest so I went and did a bit of reading. It seems that after death; the crystal arch eventually churns out another angel to fill the same role that the dead angel was responsible for. However it is a distinctly different angel with a different name. I guess Malthael and Inarius aren't going to be reborn as the same angels after all. 🤷
@@spookayitsmeif they’re reborn into certain roles then they will be the same just different names. Malthael is death, he can’t be reborn as something else right?
Great videos so far (watch 3 back to back. Timelime, mephisto, and this one) found 2 inconsistencies so far though, adria didn't create the black soul stone zolten kulle did as said in the timeline vid and in the meph video you said lazarus was sent to free diablo from his prison by meph but here you say diablo corrupted him instead. Sorry to nit pick either way these have been great and i will continue to watch any other video you have up now and future. Im looking forward to a lote dive on barotuk if there isnt one already
If it’s anything like Diablo Immortal, they just need enough power to manifest in the world. Actually, from what I’ve been reading, DI is certainly canon and somehow people skip right over the lord being built up.

In all the games he's merced physically though
😂😊

@@trojon but he has defeated Imperius very easily

Thank you!
its kinda funny that he is a very cunning and cerebral prime evil, but also the one that looks most like a physical fighter.
The one death that Blizzard fumbled: Deckard. It was anticlimactic and very.... lackluster.
I don't remember seeing anything related to Diablo in D4, I hope they do something Big for him in future DLC's

my theory, Diablo tried to take possession of the mortal Tyreal, who fled to the west, away from Lorath and the Horadrim.
All part of his plan
Brother we found the rest of the hidden quest items. Look into Abigail’s hair, Note From Grognok, and Mordreth's Grimoire. There are others too.
Will u make a video on Baal soon? ⚡️

Great video!
Thanks for the history!
Big plot hole where the Horadrim abandoned the monastery that they built to contain Diablos essence.
Perhaps because the key figures of horadrim is out of commission? Tyreal return to heaven too…
It's been a long while. I really missed diablo lore stories :)
his head looks like zorc necrophades' head.
Another banger from Nyx! (sorry I was late, I was out of the country. LOL
Always love seeing your comments!
So basically Diablo is the equivalent of Warhammer's Tzeench. Just as planned!

I've done a video for each season! Look deeper into the channel :P

I really wonder if the current developers understand the prime evils as well as they are described in this video. I'm pressing X right now.
Why do angels not re-form when they die like the demons do? Does anyone know?
They do! It just takes a while.

Spooky!
Adria was not evil in the first one. She was a supportive merchant in Diablo 1.

Doooo Baaal
Who is disliking this ?
Cristian’s
@@bucaboy2002Cristian's? ... Do you mean Christians?
@@spookayitsme yes thank my auto correct your the best!
@bucaboy2002 you mean "you're". Smh pathetic
I thought it's Imperius
Movie name please?
Not quite a movie lol. It's a video game franchise called Diablo funnily enough.
The story of the man...uh...demon himself.
When you finish diablo 4 campaign you get a 1 sec glimpse of a big Demom , is not that demom Diablo?
Hi there
