Duriel really gave me a pressure and nightmare with his speed and aura when I facing him for the first time. Most gruesome and terrific villain in Diablo after the Butcher in my opinion.

Man, this is just great. I also noticed that while in town you take off your character's helmet and weapons to make him seem more considerate to the events of the story. Some very good skills of making game lore videos.

You have a true gift for story telling! Your work seems to be a real labor of love. I've always been fascinated by the intricate plot of Diablo; You're energetic narrative, has enlivened the lore in a very personable way. The nostalgia is almost intoxicating. Please, keep it up!

I just discovered your channels with your Diablo 2 lore videos, and I am so addicted to your videos now. The narrative and the way you describe little details is amazing! I can't wait for the rest of the D2 lore video and Act III. Thanks for being awesome!

As a kid, my friend and I didn't pay enough attention to realize that the Santuary quest tells you which tomb is correct, so we'd just check them one at a time until we got it right.

Would you please do this for the full series Diablo was one of the first games I really came to love and your channel has given so much more depth to the story for me to love and the narrative that you give us is amazing

I just recently discovered your channel and I have to say that it is by far my most favourite channel ever! Your voice, they way you tell the lore while playing the game, turning it to a whole story instead of just explaining characters is freaking awesome! I can't wait until you release the next act, meanwhile I'll be watching your other videos even tho baldurs gate never really interested me, I am sure you will make me a fan!

I just quit Warzone and really needed to get in touch with one of the games that made me fall in love with gaming. I watched the andariel video, thought to myself, “He’s probably one of the guys who just made it and doesn’t have the time to do the remaining parts” and boy was I wrong. Thank you so fucking much, I loved this game as a kid and really needed this. Much appriciated, and for the love of god, don’t stop.

Your content is 10/10. With enough perseverance, you''re definitely among my most respected youtubers.

Just wanted to say, recently found you, but I've always been a huge lore nerd, especially in long form videos like this! Awesome job and every time the scripting is top notch with word choice. Keep this up for D4!

good shit bro im gonna sub to you cuz im enjoying this alot, i played diablo 2 from when it came out when i was 10 years old and played it until i was about 15 when WoW came out, and i kind of know the gear ur wearing lol just by looking at it, fun stuff man, cant wait for Diablo 2 remastered.

Baal posseses one of the most powerful mages, diablo posseses one of the most powerful warriors, Mephisto posseses one of their most powerful "priests", who's more of a politician.

"The shining jewel... Lut Gholein." - I'll never forget this, the way he says it.

I love that Blizzard was just like 'yeah this guy is pretty cool, he runs the town, he cares for his people, and oh yeah. He has a harem' Word bro, word.

Bro, I just found this today... You are really great at this especially with the transitions to the npc speeches. Great narration and flow. Will you be doing this with the remake?

Here we are watching Scishow. Then Diablo 2, Act two is notified....... I wants to learn...... But I love Diablo. This playthrough is dope though. I shall watch.

I love the Aztec vibe and creepy jungles of Act three and the rolling tainted moors of act 1. But no doubt, Lut Gohlien is the shining jewel in the middle of the game.

I really enjoy this 👍🏻

I haven't gotten to your Act 3 videos yet to see, but did you ever backtrack to talk to Fara as a Paladin after discovering the fate of the religious group they stem from? I seem to recall her having a specific reaction in hearing about the corruption of the religion from Paladin players.

Ohhhh just noticed the cool bit of misdirection by the writers. At this point Marius and maybe even the player would think that the Warrior is going to save Tal-Rasha because he is his brother. But nope just Diablo going there to free Baal. That's pretty cool they did it this way.

Out of everything in Diablo 2....the only thing that will ever remain in my memory? The goddamn electric spewing beetles.

Those vids are great and the channel in general but have you thought of covering other game worlds that are not rpgs but have great stories or lore ?

It's been a week and I'm still stuck on this boss. I hate that he's always RIGHT THERE whenever I spawn into the room.

Enjoyed this alot! I am not updated on Daiblo 4 status much at all but when watching this I would really love a come back of Matt Uelmen and his legendary and immersive music. But that is probably out of reach to wish for.. Do we know who will be making the music for Diablo IV?

I do wonder. Could Tal Rasha be the reason the dark wanderer implanted diablo's soulstone into his head in the first place? I mean, the DW was the prince, so it stands to reason he'd at least know something of Tal Rasha's fate.

Was it ever documented how far they traveled between the burnt tavern and the dessert city?

How did the Dark Wanderer found and opened the tomb of tal rasha without the horadric items?
