The biggest crime D3, technically just Blizzard, pulled was the carbon copy of world locations. Look at D2 and D3: Act 1 involves hilly grasslands, main locations include a cathedral, cemetaries and underground lair/religious sect. Act 2 is desert world, a mosque-styled building, a weird extra-dimensional location that may be a laboratory. Act 3 starts to get a little different but is incredibly reminiscent of Throne of Baal, snow world and finding allies in the wastes, caves. Act 4 is the first original location, but has influences of D2's fourth act.

You could also argue that Act 2 in D3 has influences of both Act 2 and some Act 3 (with the jungle themed areas) and Act 3 has a mix of Act 4 and 5 from D2.


Or maybe I'm just overthinking it.
