Diablo 2 actually used quite sophisticated storytelling techniques for a game, and the story itself showed a richly designed world. I'm looking forward to Diablo 3, I hope they'll develop the story even more.
I was first skeptical about the petition, but the doctored shots do look a lot scarier. I wouldn't mind a few of those changes; like more darkness, a return of the light radius and less colourfulness. But I'm not signing the petition because the tone is completely inappropriate. First of all, there's loads of amateurish spelling errors. Get it straight. But worse is that they're basically demanding a few things here, and that is way out of line. If it were done diplomatically, as a suggestion, with a friendly tone, then maybe I'd have supported it. But they're neither speaking for 'all the fans', nor are they in the position to start demanding things to a well-respected developer who has always known what it was doing. That's a big thumbs down right there, so-called 'fans'.
