History Awesome / DiabloII

* Though it takes a RetCon, this is worth something. Beforehand, it is claimed that everyone here who fought against Diablo and the Prime Evils has [[GoMadFromTheRevelation gone into madness]], except the Barbarian. After RetCon, although they're not heard again, it's saying something that ''they kept their sanity intact'' (the Sorceress mentoring the next game's Wizard, and the Necromancer mentoring an NPC Necromancer are proofs of this) in spite of facing those demonic beings, when the previous heroes ended up crazy and corrupted. Sure, the sequel takes things even further, but this one's a good proof that the heroes did ''not'' end up like their predecessors.

* The battle against the Summoner, especially when playing with the Sorceress. Epic magical duel in space. [[AntiClimaxBoss If you did not]] [[GlassCannon accidentally pop him in one hit.]]

* The beginning of Act V, especially for the Barbarian. You're not alone in this one since you fight alongside an entire army of your compatriots against Overseer Shenk and his minions.
* Act V in general. You start off generally distrusted and an interloper in the midst of the war (or, in the case of the Barbarian, distrusted as you abandoned your homeland). As you progress, you eventually become their greatest champion.

** As a matter of fact, any character fighting their enemy counterpart (Sorceress vs. Summoner, Amazon vs. Blood Raven/the Countess, Necromancer vs. Nihlatak, Barbarian vs. the Ancients) can qualify as awesome.

* Completing several quests will trigger some pretty awesome scripted events. Notable examples are the Den of Evil (the red light goes out and the sun shines in through the cracks), Sisters' Burial Ground (Blood Raven's soul getting released and the ensuing electrical discharges), Radament's Lair (the Fist of the Heavens destroying Radament's servants when he dies), The Tainted Sun (the sunlight released from the altar), The Hellforge (Mephisto's dying screams and the souls released from the stone), and Betrayal on Harrogath (Nihlatak dragged into Hell).

-->''"My Brothers, at long last, we stand reunited. The infernal gate has been prepared and the time of our final victory is at hand. Let the way to Hell be opened! And the Evil that was once vanquished shall rise anew. Wrapped in the guise of man shall he walk amongst the innocent, and terror shall consume they that dwell upon the earth. The skies shall rain fire, and the seas will become as blood. The righteous shall fall before the wicked, and all creation shall tremble before the burning standards of Hell!"''

* Really, the entire progression. You go from a plucky wannabe to a such a badass that you launch a [[OneManArmy one man invasion of Hell]] so that you can ''kill the devil.''
