    We know what became of the 3 characters you would use in D1. For those who don't, here's their fate:

    What does everyone think became those you played in D2? It seems the barbarian is fine, though I'm unsure if the barbarian in the D3 footage is the same person. According to the end of D2's expansion, they should be fine, but with evil rising up again, something may have happened to some of them between the time of D2 and D3.

    Canon, the Barbarian is the hero that kills the three Prime Evils apparently.

    I hope in some shape or form, all the Diablo 2 characters make a cameo, and if Blizzard wants to earn bonus points, make them AI controlled allies in the campaign for certain quests.

    Some background info on the Barbarian goes on to say that Blizzard never intended to have any returning classes. I'm praying for Rogue and a paladin/cleric-like class.

    Here's what I'd hope for as far as cameos

    Assassin - Two outcomes: with the Prime Evils defeated, she joins the Rogue's Guild, possibly becoming leader after the twenty years that have passed (you could use the guild as a checkpoint and buy stuff), or strikes out on her own as a hired assassin (you have to track her down and stop her [miniboss])

    Amazon - Returns to her sisters in the jungle, and knowledge of Amazons fades until monster attacks kick up again, after which there are eyewitness reports of Amazons dashing amongst the trees (initially uncommon reports, but growing steadily in frequency). Perhaps you have to battle a few Amazons to prove your worth and enter their camp, then go kill something to further prove your loyalty. I could also imagine the Amazons being in league with some Witch Doctors or Druids

    Druids - also disappear into the forests, dissapating into loners and small bands.

    Necromancer - Original necromancer that helped defeat the Prime Evils becomes corrupt and eventually switches teams. (too easy :p)

    Paladin - dunno, I suppose they'd gather where the meteor fell and help repell the borders and tend to wounded.

    Sorceress - Probably one of the many who's pissed at the Wizard, and either wants to kill or imprison said Wizard untill you convince her otherwise.

    And on a completely different topic, there better be a cow level.

    I didn't even know the character classes actually pertained to the story in Diablo 2 I thought you were just a bunch of heroes fighting Diablo and his minions and that the classes where just the type of hero you could choose to be and were not actual people or characters.

    well, i think the evil will return in a other form.

    maybe diablo will return(once again:eek:)

    but i think more that would be somethink like *a demon that diablo were keeping in control. he were the chief of the demon and Diablo,Baal and mephisto united their forces to inprison him. Now he is free because of you and he will take his revenge.*

    i don't know very well Diablo story but i think that possible to be that.:)(possibilitie)

    Diablo will return its inevitable, you know it, i know it, everybody wants it....

    Amazon - she felt sad and empty looking at how many of her breathen have fallen against the dark side, the hero amazon decided to hid herself and her tribe to existence, years of recuperating once again established their once glorious tribe.

    Assassin - back to the underground world, keeping an eye when the world will be again devoured by mistakes.... their shadow allies will rise to the world and purify the earth once it is again corrupted by evil be human or not..

    Barbarian - feasted and lived the barbaric life with moron mountain... got aged and told tales of the past with the new pack of warrioirs that theyve trained for the upcoming battles... he did not want to giveup his career yet thats why he pleaded his way to the makers and thus so he was still there in D3.

    Druid - he perfected his shapeshifting skill enabling him to perform werewyvern transformation thus giving him access to the skies, by doing so he searched for the perfect oasis to hid silence and be with his beloved creatures.. years later he gave birth to a son that did not inherit any of his inborn abilities but was able to perfect something else.... nature magic was thoroughly studied and gave rise to the geomancer...

    Necromancer - the power of death gave him long life but by doing so his soul wasnt allowed to enter in the gates of heaven nor was it burned in the gates of hell, he was again re-animated in the form of a new breed... the grim angel : epitome of neutralism, not evil, not good - but the one power to bring justice among all...

    Paladin - the order of the paladins were triumphant against Diablo in the last war but evil works in mysterious ways... at a time the crusade war begun and those once proud paladins fell for evil deeds and became corrupted with greed and hunger for battle,. they wander the lands mysteriously during the nights being told into stories as wanderers of the dark seeking death and retribution to purify their corrupted souls, looking for the one who will end their misery. (fallen paladins)

    Sorcerer - the genetic line for sorcerers are very unique was never heard of again during the rebuilding ages.., rumors spread that they secluded themself from another dimension, some say the bloodline was ended and only half breeds are remaining and able to perform only minimal magic. Those curiosities never ended and thus gave birth to the human inquisitiveness and hunger for knowledge,. one genius was born, was said to be of the last remaining pure blood sorcerer on the land... the young one was very adept at magic and thus she was able to master libraries of ancient scrolls and forbidden magic.. giving rise to the wizard - a mage with powerful magical attribute and a master of all magic

    I want a divine class like the paladin, ,maybe this time a Guardian class

    I've read somewhere that the D2 Barb IS the D3 Barb. This was explained by Bashiok when he was asked why the D3 Barb looks kinda old.
    As for returns.. It's very likely we'll see some chars returning as npcs of sorts, but it's hard to tell which ones will and which ones will not

    Actually Tyrael destroyed the Worldstone, not the Barbarian (canon).

    And if anything it threw the world into a more chaotic state methinks.
