So wait why he turn into Diablo then? Cuz he was an idiot and at the end of D1 he takes Diablo's soul gem and shoves it into his own forehead.

Yeah the guy that turns into Diablo in D2 in that cutscene in the game was who actually killed Diablo to begin with. Do any of you even understand that? I do. The 'Dark Wanderer' in D2 that ends up turning into Diablo. Yes Diablo is actually an RPG with a STORY. C'mon! See funny thing is that all the ppl that have ignored D1 don't know or understand shit about the story of D2. That's when I put Diablo down, haven't picked it up since. So I opened up a portal back to town went back into the cathedral, checked around the 1 level of the building a bit more, and there is was! The Butcher. I had no Idea that the entire game would take place in 1 location that just kept descending levels. 4 hours later I'm like level 25 whupping deamon ass right in front of the gates of hell itself. My first playthrough I was given a mission to kill some corrupted guy called the Butcher. Everything else is kind of similar, but once again, because you might be used to new fangled, hi - tech games of today, you might have a little bit of trouble grasping how simple it actually is. You walk the entire way through the game.The entire way. There is no run button, there is not run toggle. That doesn't mean that it's a bad game, but some of the standard gaming conventions that we take for granted today were not even invented yet when that game came out. My brother got the battle chest a while ago and I loaded up the first one.
