* Another legendary item is a mace belonging to a Crusader named Johanna, who mysteriously disappeared one day and never was seen since. Apparently, [[LeaaningOnTheFourthWall Blizzard kidnapped her]] right out of Diablo for VideoGame/HeroesOfTheStorm, which makes a little sense when you consider Johanna looks considerably different than the PC female Crusader, unlike the other champions from D3 that made it into HotS (i.e.: Kharazim, Nazeebo, Valla, Sonya, who all look exactly like the player characters).

* Killing Adria was awesome, yes, finally Leah has been avenged. However, if you look at the journal afterwards, you notice that the player felt refreshed in doing so after having to deal with unhelpful and homicidal Angels. Which means, killing Adria has been merely [[CatharsisFactor a stress-relief]] all along in the face of facing Malthael.

* When the old soldier and his wife at Bastion's Keep in Act III aren't being heartwarming, they're usually being funny instead. In particular, after one event they reminisce together about the time she was kidnapped by barbarians: the soldier describes how he was beside himself until they [[PityTheKidnapper returned her with an apology]], and his wife comments that their leader still sends her a bundle of hides every year and is the nicest kidnapper she's met.
** Later:
--->'''Soldier:''' Well, Marta. That Demon Lord is dead. Time to move on.\\
