[[WMG: The reason the characters from II have gone AxCrazy was due to doing the same boss kill over and over again for year after year]]
Think about it, how would you feel if you were forced to kill Baal several hundred times for that Pelta Lunata or any other unique equipment?

[[WMG: Poison ivy is growing in the wild areas of Act I of ''Diablo 2'']]
That's why the characters don't hop the wall and cut over to the next zone. The areas behind the walls are just filled with poison ivy and poison oak.

Moving WM Gs to Diablo 3\'s WMG page, and adding one that popped into my head.


[[WMG: The enemies of Diablo 4 will be Angels, not Demons]]
Heaven will declare war on Sanctuary, as humans are growing strong enough to pose a threat. The demons may attack as well, but they will not be the main focus of the game.
* What makes you think you won't be fighting Angels in Diablo3?
* Apparently this was originally going to be the [[WhatCouldHaveBeen plot of Diablo III]] but was scrapped early on, as a game set in heaven seemed "too different" from it's predecessors.

[[WMG: Dark Wanderer is Leah's father]]
* We know Adria was her mother and a great warrior who was lost when Tristram fell to the demons was her father. This warrior was going to become or was already the Dark Wanderer.
** An entry from Adria's journal as seen in the beta seems to confirm this
** Makes sense when you consider that it's heavily hinted that Diablo will possess a female host this time, most likely Leah and that previously, everyone that Diablo has possessed is descended from King Leoric - the Dark Wanderer who was the warrior from the first game has been confirmed by Blizzard to be Aidan, the eldest song of King Leoric and Albrecht's older brother.

[[WMG: Tyrael has gone rogue in D3 (added before any news released)]]
Either by taint of the World Stone, always rogue or having to flee heaven, Tyrael is now a rogue Angel. The first is obvious, and the second and third have evidence. Tyrael was the deciding vote on leaving Sanctuary in existence. He created the idea of using the soul stones on the Three Prime Evils. Then he destroyed the world stone after his soul stone idea fell apart. Either it was all part of an "evil" master plan or heaven will thing it was.



[[WMG: Adria will kill Leah and become Diablo's new host]]
It would be the perfect PlayerPunch.

[[WMG: Leah is currently possessed by or ''is'' Belial]]
Got this from a mix of the Black Soulstone trailer and the Book of Cain. In the Black Soulstone trailer it doesn't really make sense if Azmodan is talking to Leah. Either Leah's dreaming herself in the place of someone else, or Azmodan's talking to someone inside Leah. In it Azmodan talks about traps and deception, which is the providence of Belial.

Additionally, in the Book of Cain it says, "[Belial] is often trapped within the intricate webs of his own machinations." This could be forshadowing to Belial having taken human form to further his plans and having totally fallen for it himself, {{becoming the mask}}. He believes his own lie that he is a human woman named Leah.

Most of all, everything is screaming that this game's plot is going to focus on Azmodan and Belial. Leah being Belial or being possessed by Belial would keep things focused. And, well, continuing the family tradition of being possessed by Diablo is just too easy.

Either Leah's dreaming herself in the place of someone else, or Azmodan's talking to someone inside Leah. In it Azmodan talks about misleading and deception, which is the providence of Belial.

[[WMG: Diablo 3 will have a happy ending]]
Or at least a bittersweet one. The Worldstone, before it was destroyed, protected Sanctuary from both Heaven and Hell- but it also served to limit Humanity's full potential. Now that it's destroyed, Humanity is (more) vulnerable to attack, but it will also grow more powerful, and humanity will soon be equal to both demons and angels in power. Which brings us to-
