→BlizzCon 2008 Playable Demo
* [[Skeleton King Summoned]]. The return of the Skeleton King's crown causes him to awake and arise. This event was also shown in the [[BlizzCon 2008]] [[gameplay movie]]. This was part of the quest [[The Skeleton King]].
===BlizzCon 2009 Playable Demo===
Players who got some hands-on time at [[BlizzCon 2009]] (or who played the same build at other gaming shows, including PAX and GamesCom) saw a lot of scripted events, but almost all included in the quests. It seemed, comparing Blizzcon 2008 to 2009, that the game designers had spent the past year incorporating all of the scripted events into quests, instead of having so many of them free-standing in the dungeons. Perhaps the Act One scripted events from Blizzcon 2008 were rough drafts or early efforts, or the scripted events were being put in faster than the quest designers could find ways to incorporate them?
Whatever the case, there was just one obvious scripted event in the entire Blizzcon 2009 demo, that was not part of a quest. It's described below. Click the links to the quests to read more about them; almost every Blizzcon 2009 quest did have some scripted events incorporated into it.
====Sleeping Fallen====
A random event that spawned on the [[The Howling Plateau]] about half the time. This one can also be seen in the BlizzCon 2009 gameplay movie.
The setting is the ruins of a house, with just a few walls still standing. Players are directed there, if they approach from the south, by one or two wounded, dying humans lying in the sand. These NPCs are clickable, and when poked they deliver gasping, horror movie style last words, “The demons, they were... eating... us!”
Following the trail of the dead, the character soon finds a small square surrounded by ruined buildings. Sleeping off their feast are a large pack of [[Fallen]], all lying scattered around the square, comical little trails of “Zzz” rising up from their heads. When your character enters this area, the Fallen wake up and attack immediately, but they’re as easy to slaughter as ever, so your character should make short work of them.
When the Fallen are all dead, the few remaining humans can be clicked and freed, and they all say something like, “I thought we were doomed!” Before running out into the scorching, trackless wastelands without food or water. Good luck, boys.
