No Love for old NPCs and characters?

[Endalrin]

First off I love this game, i was a huge D2 fan and I am loyal to the programmers not the namesake. Playing this game gives me huge nostalgia for D2 and sometimes i want to be playing that but this game is so amazing. Well... I will admit that this game. omg. is such a copy of D2 storyline wise. the hero from game one is the villian in the sequel? Act 1, plains, Act 2, desert, Act 3, swamp. oh, come oooon. XD I love it, dont care, its still awesome.


MY POINT ---v

Now then, those thoughts aside, WTF?! So, you kill off the chick who helps you throughout the ENTIRE first game in the first cinematic (which for some reason i get lag in my cinematics.) And you say Nothing about this in the Entire game? Then when you beat the 'final' boss you get no cinematic and not until the real final boss does he get barely any mention? This upsets me! Yes! I am mad! how can you just wave over such big characters? HOW?!

I think you need to play through more than once because on my 4th character now, I don't remember anything from the beginning and forget TL1 I barely remember Ordrak. Killed chick at beginnning? I don't remember that either. I even remember the story and those cutscenes from D2 better. I mean you can be mad and I think the ending was a bit whatever but many people accept a serviceable copy story as a small distraction to finding loot and levelling up.
This game style isn't supposed to be Baldur's Gate or even Elder Scrolls as far as NPC's.

the girl with the spear. she was there throughout all of the first game. they show her get slammed into a pillar or something and collapse. no word if she is dead or alive, they never refer to her again.
