Legendary items are returning, of course. Luis has talked about the plus to skill ranks as an item affix, plus to talent ranks as another type of item affix, and so on. We’ll try to improve on that even further. We’ll have lots of the same item affixes that existed in previous Diablo games. The talent tree system, for example, even if we’re both going the same build, depending on the choice you have made, you’ll be playing a bit different, more in line with how you want to play the game.
That allows you to rank up your favorite skills, and as you rank up the skills, you unlock new components to that skill. Kim: On the systems side, there’s much more added customization options, player choice options, like the skill point system. From an aesthetic standpoint, the aesthetics would hopefully please folks that are fans of that darker, Gothic, a little bit more real, grittier type of setting. What am I going to see in Diablo IV that’s going to make me happy? GamesBeat: Let’s say I’m somebody who liked Diablo II more than Diablo III. That’s sort of been our temperature gauge for how we’re playing things out like that, if that makes sense.
Because if you do something like that all over the place, it robs it of its power. We use dark, whether it’s literal or dark as in, hey, if you got to the Domhain tunnels and there are flayed bodies and blood all through the tunnel - we don’t like to do that every square inch. GamesBeat: Diablo IV is touting itself as a dark game, but obviously you have some limits on how violent you can get. I asked them what makes Diablo IV different from its predecessor, along with some questions about plans for expansions and everyone’s favorite tech, ray tracing. At BlizzCon, I interviewed Diablo IV lead systems designer David Kim and lead lighting artist Sean Murphy.
