Character classes

Two of five classes have been unveiled so far: Barbarian and Witch Doctor.[2][11] Players may choose gender for each class, a change from the fixed class genders in the previous two games.[5]

Art direction and design
Several websites reported that people felt disgruntled with the art style used,[12] calling for what they believed would be a "darker," "more realistic" look.[13] They criticized the game's apparent resemblance to the World of Warcraft series, the purported lack of the "light radius" from the previous games, and what they termed "colorful and cartoon-like" visuals and "out-of-proportion" character figures and armor.[14][15]

Lead producer Keith Lee has stated:

"One of the things that we considered when we were working on the visuals for ‘Diablo 2 Items’ is the fact that color is your friend. We feel that color actually helps to create a lot of highlights in the game so that there is contrast. A great analogy is like in ‘Lord of the Rings’ — not everything is dark. It allows you to see what a creepy dungeon can be like but if everything is dark it doesn’t allow you to have a lot of contrast. ‘Diablo I’ and ‘Diablo 2 Items’ are darker, and I think that [sic] the one of the main reasons why is the fact that...you’re basically in a dungeon the whole time. And in...‘Diablo 2 Items,’ you’ll be exploring outdoors, you’ll be in dungeons, you’ll be experiencing so many different areas. We want to bring as much variety as we can when you’re playing the game so that you’re excited to check out new environments. We don’t want everything to look the same..."[16]

Art director Brian Morrisroe said at Blizzard's Worldwide Invitation "Our memory of what Diablo and Diablo 2 Items were was a bit different than the actuality of it. Visually we were remembering it as more of a dark, colorless game, but there was a lot of vibrance." He also explained that they wanted characters to have a strong silhouette, so that the characters were easily seen even when there was a lot of action.[17][18]

The game takes place in Sanctuary

The game takes place in Sanctuary, the dark fantasy world of the Diablo series. This world was saved twenty years prior by a handful of unnamed heroes in Diablo 2 Items. Warriors that survived the onslaught of the armies of the Burning Hells have gone mad from their ordeals, and it is up to a new generation of heroes to face the forces of evil threatening the world of Sanctuary. Players will have the opportunity to explore familiar settings such as Tristram.[4]

The only confirmed NPC is Deckard Cain,[5] who has appeared in both of the previous games. Cain's journal on the official site brings players up to speed on the events of the first two games.[8]


Development
Development on Diablo 2 Items began some time in 2005 when Blizzard North was still in operation. The original artistic design differed from that shown at Blizzard Worldwide Invitational 2008 demonstration, and had undergone three revisions before reaching the standards felt necessary by the team behind Diablo 2 Items. The development teams comprise fifty people. Most of the game mechanics and physics are complete and undergoing minor revisions. Most of the current and remaining development will focus on adding game content.[9]

Diablo 2 Items's lead designer is Jay Wilson, a former Relic Entertainment designer credited with work on Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War and Company of Heroes. Its lead world designer is Leonard Boyarsky, one of the six co-creators of Fallout.[10]

The game is being planned for a simultaneous release on both Windows and Mac OS X platforms, with no current plans for release on video game consoles.[7]

Diablo III is an action role-playing game similar in style to its predecessor

Diablo 2 Items is an action role-playing game similar in style to its predecessor, Diablo 2 Items. The proprietary engine will incorporate Havok physics and feature destructible environments with an in-game damage effect. The developers are aiming to make the game run on a wide range of systems, and have stated that DirectX 10 will not be required.[3] Diablo III will use a custom 3D game engine[4] in order to present an overhead view to the player, in a somewhat similar way to the isometric view used in previous games in the series.[3] Enemies will utilize the 3D environment as well, in ways such as crawling up the side of a wall from the depths into the combat area.[5]


Diablo 2 Items will retain a feel similar to that found in earlier games in the series, with a similar third-person, fixed perspective.[3]As in Diablo 2 Items, multiplayer games will be possible using Blizzard's Battle.net service,[6] with many of the new features being developed for StarCraft II also available in Diablo III.[3] Players will be able to drop in and out of sessions of co-operative play with others. Blizzard has stated that Diablo 2 Items is first and foremost a multi-player game, implying that players may still play solo, but will be better off playing with others in group situations.[7]

An enhanced quest system, a random level generator, and a random encounter generator are slated for use in order to ensure the game provides different experiences when replayed.[2] Overall, the game will include both static and randomly generated levels.[7] Additionally, there will be class-specific quests to go along with the main storyline quests.
