Jumping into an already established and on-going series can be difficult. A lot of references and call backs to prior events will just go right over your head, like how John Barrowman is actually [redacted] on Arrow and doesn’t that just change everything you believe? The same applies with Blizzard games such as Warcraft, Starcraft and Diablo.

The writers have the onus of creating not only great characters and storylines, but also rich and very, very detailed histories about completely made up and fantastical worlds. So if you were to dive right into Warlords of Draenor, you’d have no idea why it’s a big deal that that portly looking demon died in the opening cinematic.
The same is doubly true for Diablo, a game that cares more about getting you from point A to point B with as much loot as possible. But in case you’re wondering just what the hell is going on in this messed up, seemingly Judeo-Christian world in which demons and angels fight on a near constant basis, then you are in luck. The fine folks over at Blizzard have updated their story guide to give you a quick and easy introduction to the events of the entirety of Diablo. Call it ‘Sanctuary 101’ or ‘A Brief Consideration On The Eternal War Of Sanctuary by D. Cain’. So stay a while and listen.

They have recently updated the guide to include Reaper of Souls, the first expansion to Diablo III that tells the tale of what happens when Death comes knocking.
The guide doesn’t get into the nitty gritty and the many conversations that you’ll have with various enemies before you pummel their face in, but if you’re in need of a quick primer or refresher on all things Diablo, you can check out the full story guide HERE.
Diablo III is available now.
