Diablo 3 Easter Eggs in Starcraft 2[edit | edit source]
Blizzard continued their habit of working in inter-game Easter Eggs, by placing a couple of amusing Diablo 3 items in Starcraft 2.
Diablo Decals[edit | edit source]
Diablo decals in Starcraft 2.
Diablo head decals are amongst the many offered for customizing your units in Starcraft 2. These may be unlocked through achievements over Battle.net, their exact function isn't yet known.
They can be used to customize units on player-made maps, as the example Terran Marine shows. The images were first found on the Battle.net site, on July 18, 2010.
Deckard Cain Achievement[edit | edit source]
A smaller Starcraft 2 Easter Egg features Deckard Cain's classic "Stay awhile, and listen." line of dialogue as the name of an Achievement. A fan reported on where this achievement was obtained. [2]
- This achievement is after you finish the Gates of Hell mission in planet Char. There’s a cinematic right after, then you see an interactive Raynor, General Waterfield and Tychus with a char background. The achievement suddenly pops when that loads. It’s interactive as in you hover the mouse over Raynor, the General and Tychus, and they become silhouette-highlighted, you click them and they have a cutscene-dialogue.
Burning Diablo[edit | edit source]
Diablo in SC2.
The first and most dramatic is an appearance of a miniature Diablo in a SC2 single-player mission called "The Devil's Playground." Diablo is just a "critter," one of the forms of ambient life, but it's definitely Big Red, though he's small and gloriously burning, the model looks to be the same one used for the World of Warcraft mini-pet.
A screenshot can be seen to the right. See the original news post for more details and a movie of the little guy.
Diablo Marine Avatar[edit | edit source]
The Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty Collector's Edition contains four avatars accessible in the Battle.net Rewards tab, Portraits section. The avatar is titled onscreen as Diablo Marine (Devoted fan).
Starcraft II: Collector's Edition[edit | edit source]
The SC2 collector's edition was released on July 27, 2010, the same day as the regular game. There has not yet been any word about Collector's Editions for SC2 parts 2 and 3. The Diablo III Collector's Edition will not contain the same stuff as the SC2:CE did, but the loot will likely be fairly similar.
The SC2:CE contained:
- An art book. (Hardcover, full of concept art for Starcraft II and notes from the artists.)
- A 2 GB flash drive modeled after Jim Raynor’s dog tag with the original StarCraft and Brood War expansion preloaded.
- A behind-the-scenes DVD.
- The StarCraft 2 soundtrack.
- A StarCraft 2 comic book.
- Unique avatar portraits for use on a player's Battle.net account.
