That was what was great about Diablo 2. The storyline was fairly subtle, but the whole time I felt like I was really a hero struggling against the forces of evil, following this path of destruction and being scared of actually finding hat I was looking for.
Yes I read the D3 storyline, and I think you're a bit mistaken in how it happens.
The humans (nephalem) are offpsring between angels and demons, but their potential power was too much, so the Worldstone was used so that each new generation of humans would be progressively weaker. Since you killed the Worldstone in D2, and some time has passed, some humans have regained nephalem powers.
The question becomes: how does every minor character know what a nephalem is? how do they know it's all powerful? why does everyone have so much faith in me to defeat the evil that has pretty much been uncontested forever?
D3's story makes me feel like I'm Superman, born to save the world and everyone knows.
I don't understand why everybody won't be nepalem.
Ancient entities like Diablo and Imperius recognise you being nephalem because the difference is as obvious to them as the difference between an ape and a human.
