Well, the overture for Diablo III is available on iTunes. As overtures so often do, it takes bits from the prominent tone-setting compositions already written and puts them all together. So in that regard the basic outline and tone of composition for the game is in place, but no I think it would be impossible to compose and record everything completely before the game is much closer to being done. I do recommend checking out the overture if you have the ability. I can't decide how far along they are in anything. They are sending mixed signals all over the place. Before blizzcon, they were "far along" .. then during/after blizzcon they are "not far along". They release barbarian and witch doctor first, but the wizard was actually the first class they made. But the demo at blizzcon didn't have the male version of the wizard, but had both sexes of the WD and Barb. My head asplode! I don't think any one said before BlizzCon that we were "far along", it's kind of a nebulous statement any way. I think some people's perceptions of the game were that we were far along, and that likely shaped some of our desire to make it fairly clear that it's still early on. Where did you get the impression that the Wizard was the first class we designed/created? That isn't the case.
