Diablo 3: introduction and the first act (description and review)
Diablo 3
Diablo 3 is a hack and slash rpg, like its predecessors, set in
Sanctuary. A world created by rebel angels and demons seeking refuge
from the eternal conflict, using the worldstone to create it.And Yes you heard it correctly, Video games are also culture. So it can come on this blog!
Storyline
!!!!Fair
warning this is containing spoilers!!!!
It features the
Nephalem, a powerfull humanbeing come in action to give the forces of
evil a good run for their money by exterminating their forces and
killing its leaders all for the sake of saving the world.
The game is divided into “acts” , or as I would call them chapters (lets be real in here, its kinda the same).

In the first act
(or chapter) we see our hero arriving in New Tristram in search of
the fallen star that fell on the old cathedral of (old) Tristram.
This turned out to be a fallen angel, the arch-angel of justice
Tyreal, who literally fell out of heaven (to bad he wasn't a pretty
girl, otherwise the cheesy pick up line “did it hurt when you fell
out of heaven” wouldn't be that cheesy when used on him)You
encounter the undead armies of the skeleton king, who has been
awakened by the fallen star for some reason. Which you will hack
trough willingly for the loot!
Here is a little gameplay clip I made for this article :
This act is quite dark and quite a good opener. I sometimes play it all over again just for the feel of it, but it gets boring after a while.
The quests in act one are as follows:
- The Fallen Star - A star has fallen in New Tristam. Protect the town from the vile dead that have risen since it fell.
- The Legacy of Cain - Deckard Cain was lost in the cathedral
when it was struck by the falling star. Discover his fate.
- A Shattered Crown - The crown of the mad King Leoric has been
lost to the ages. Find it so that you may destroy the Skeleton King.
- Reign of the Black King - Put an end to the Skeleton King to
free New Tristram from his army of the dead.
- Sword of the Stranger - The man who fell from the sky
remembers only a shattered sword of power. Find the pieces of the
sword to restore his mind.
- The Broken Blade - Find a way to retrieve the second piece of
the Stranger’s sword from the ancient ruins known as the Drowned
Temple.
- The Doom in Wortham - Retrieve the third and final piece of
the Stranger’s sword from Wortham before the Coven lays claim to
it.
- Trailing the Coven - The Coven has killed Deckard Cain and
taken the angel who fell from the sky. Hunt them down and make them
pay for their actions.
- The Imprisoned Angel - Save the angel from mad King Leoric’s
torture chambers and reunite him with his sword, no matter the cost.
My opinion and other irritating stuff
My opinion is that this act has a fairly dark them upon it and I personally think that this does it justice. This is also the reason why I liked this game in the process while playing it, tough in the next chapters it does get more cheery when next to that it is also going down again
