Diablo III Interview, Part Four

Skills and statistics are the topics featured in the latest round of questions from Diii.net’s multi-part interview with Diablo III lead designer Jay Wilson.

Diii.net: People are wondering if there’s going to be some mechanism to allow greater character diversification in stats, given that we can not manually assign our own attribute points in Diablo 3. There will be something more than just finding +10 on an item. We’ll be able to do something more to differentiate our characters from others?

Jay Wilson: Yes. We’re stated in the past that we’re working on a new customization system. A system that’s part of your character building. Also that within the item space we’re looking for ways for more. we really prefer the single point stat customization be more item based. But we’re going to have a system to more or less replace the attribute point spending system.
