Line 2:
* [[Awesome Music]]: When you defeat Diablo in ''Diablo II'', the introductory guitar riffs from Tristram's theme plays.
** Diablo II is chock full of great music, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BODYxesJLVo straight from the first act.]
* [[
** [[Play the Game Skip The Story]]: Who was going to pay attention to it, anyways? If anything, Blizzard knew they shouldn't make anything too original.
*** Anyone who only played multi-player probably didn't even know there was a story; it skips all the cinematics and most of the background is in the manual.
Line 9:
* [[Complete Monster]]: the demons qualify as an ''army'' of complete monsters. They are vicious, cruel, kill humans in the most gruesome imaginable ways, eat their children when they lack food... and the Prime Evils are even worse.
** There were some demons who were tired of the endless fighting and went to live on Sanctuary with like-minded angels in relative peace. They all got slaughtered in the backstory.
* [[Crazy Awesome]]: The Witch Doctor may or may not be this. Since he uses voodoo and such, most of his spells can be understood, but some of the spell upgrades may push him into this territory. Example: He has a spell called Plague of Toads, which summons toads, you can upgrade to turn them into [[Incendiary Exponent|Flaming Toads]] Or A Giant toad that devours enemies. Oh that's not all, he can also allegedly [[
* [[Demonic Spiders]]: Numerous examples. Exactly which monsters qualify varies depending on your character build, but Oblivion Knights, Gloams and Stygian Dolls are some of the worst.
* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]: Gharbad the Weak.
Line 22:
** The mummies, who spew clouds of poison in death and can be produced by a [[Mook Maker]], the saber cats and slingers, who come in swarms, can throw exploding or poison potions, and move really fast, but die quickly, and ''anything'' that can poison you in Hell.
* [[Idiot Ball]]: If the Lone Wanderer hadn't been holding this in the first game, Diablo would never have been reborn in the second game. Seriously, how the hell could anyone think it was a good idea to jab something nasty and evil into your head in an attempt to contain it, immediately after defeating him and seeing him [[Dying As Yourself|revert into a dead human with that thing in his head]], who probably had the same idea?
* [[
* [[It Was His Sled]]: The path to the "secret" cow level? Not at all a secret now days.
* [[Magnificent Bastard]]: The Prime Evils. They planned everything that happens from the backstory to the second game and possibly even farther. Not to mention {{spoiler|[[The Bad Guy Wins|they get away with what they wanted in each single game, even when they are supposed to have been defeated.]]}}
Line 35:
** The Lord de Seis is a mini-boss summoned before you fight Diablo. He is famous for his herd of ultra-powerful Boss In Mook Clothing minions and the aura he grants them flattening even powerful players.
** The Butcher in the first game, he's a huge jump in power above anything the player has met at that point, meaning he will take a massive damage before dying and can kill the player in seconds if they aren't prepared properly.
* [[They Changed It, Now It Sucks]]: The addition of color was a complaint when ''Diablo II'' was first announced (''Diablo'' really was nothing but [[Real Is Brown|brown and grey and blue]]). Of course, no one remembers or even cares anymore.
* [[Wham Line]]: "I am not the archangel Tyrael."
* [[The Woobie]]: Marius. Unlike the protagonists, he's just a poor shmuck with no power dragged into the whole mess, scared out of his mind by all the death and destruction happening around him. The only time he tries to do something, he actually makes things worse. In the end, he dies {{spoiler|in an asylum, at the hand of Baal, begging for his pathetic life}}.
