Blizzard has people who ensure the swathes of lore across World of Warcraft, Diablo, and more are kept in mind when new stories are being written. One of them, though, had the unenviable task of hand-transcribing all the words said in the first two Diablo games, including the Lord of Destruction expansion.
Speaking to PCGamer in the latest issue of its magazine (on sale now), Blizzard's senior manager of lore Sean Copeland explains that, before 2005, the developer didn't really keep tabs on the internal history of its games. As such, there wasn't much documentation about the world the first two Diablo games painted, leading to a brutal catch-up task.
