I Wonder if There Will Be A Secret Cult
What’s new for “Diablo III” will be random adventures, where scripted bits will appear almost anywhere in the game, prompting new quests. Examples that Wilson gave: players may meet a caravan that needs protecting for a short period of time, or run into an enemy camp with a boss.
Now I’m excited about new Blizzard things that are old Blizzard things just as much as the next guy, but if that’s your big first bullet point - random adventures - and the best you can come up with as examples is protecting a caravan or stumbling upon a camp of bad guys or D&D trope #2023, then I have very little faith in the design of said feature.
Everything else is a two foot putt though.

God! Those stupid caravans! Always losing their way into my RPGs and getting ambushed!
