It has been twenty years since the Demonic Invasion was thwarted and the Worldstone destroyed, and Sanctuary has enjoyed relative peace and stability. However, Hellish forces are stirring again. All over the world are reports of horrors and atrocities. And a Fallen Star landing in Tristram marks the beginning of the prophesied End Times.
Line 62 ⟶ 63:
* [[Bait and Switch Boss]]: One of the "boss preview/warning" of sorts near the end of Act IV shows what seems to be {{spoiler|Imperius}} as the next boss, with earlier scenes highlighting a conflict between him and the Nephalem. Unfortunately, {{spoiler|Diablo pops in and dispels the upcoming fight, neutralizing Imperius and becoming the next target for the hero}}.
* [[Bald of Awesome]]: {{spoiler|Human!Tyrael}}, and also the male Monk and Witch Doctor.
* [[Bald of Evil]] / [[Beard of Evil]]: [[Evil Sorcerer|Zoltun]] [[Complete Monster|Kulle]] looks almost exactly like the version of [[Grigori Rasputin the Mad Monk|Rasputin]] from the [[Hellboy]] comics and film. ''And'' he's voiced by [[Steve Blum]].
* [[Barbarian Hero]]: One of the playable classes.
* [[Bare-Fisted Monk]]: The Monk in ''Diablo III'' uses punches and kicks for his special attacks, even when carrying weapons.
Line 178 ⟶ 179:
** It is possible during replays to temporarily have two of the same companion at once. They can speak with each other - the Templar, for example, addresses his alter ego as a fellow member of his order.
** If you have Leah in your party and go into the back room of the Inn in New Tristram, she will ask, "What are we doing in my room?". She will also complain about you reading her diary.
* [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?]]: In past games this was already true because the Demon Lords were [[Physical GodsGod]]s and the personification of primal aspects (can you truly kill Terror?). Now it's even [[Up to Eleven|more applicable]] as {{spoiler|Diablo's master plan to manifest as the physical incarnation of all Evil succeeds. As the Prime Evil he is able to turn back the angelic host and breach Heaven's walls for the first time in history. But he's still vulnerable to a good right hook.}}
** [[Ascended Meme|You even get an achievement for physically punching him!]]
** Justified since {{spoiler|the Worldstone's destruction triggered the return of humanity's original power, which is supposed to be greater than the power of the angels and demons. The heroes are the first of the new Nephalem.}}
Line 412 ⟶ 413:
** Act 2 has a powerful gold monster named ''[[Borderlands|Nine Toads - Terror of the Borderlands.]]'' He even drops The Clipper!
** Abd al-Hazir sounds suspiciously like [[Cthulhu Mythos|Abdul Alhazred]], doesn't it? In particular, they have [[Shown Their Work]], "Abdul Alhazred" is [[As Long as It Sounds Foreign|bad Arabic]] and a common "correct" form of the name is Abd Al-Azrad.
** A legendary bow's name is "Etrayu". Now, exchange the letters "a" and "e": you get "Atreyu", one of the heroes of the ''[[NeverThe EndingNeverending Story]]'', who's weapon of choice was a bow. And if you had any doubts about it, the item's description leaves no ambiguity:
{{quote|The warrior surveyed the dead and dying arrayed about him. There would be more—many more. He felt as if he were trapped in a '''tale that would never end'''.}}
** The [[Flavor Text]] for the Barbarian passive Berserker Rage reads:
Line 499 ⟶ 500:
* [[Zombie Apocalypse]]: You know things are bad when this isn't the most pressing problem.
