USA Today's Gamer Hunters column chats to Jay Wilson about Diablo III. Most of the questions are straight forward but here's a nice grab:
More information.What will gamers be most surprised at after playing Diablo III for the first time?
How much more depth there is to combat than previous games. In the past there was depth to character creation and character building, and while combat was good, it was straightforward. Now we put more depth into that.
How so?
Well, for example, previous games relied heavily on potion buttons. And you keep hitting those buttons and it's the same for every class. That narrows down the skills a player would use. In Diablo III, though, there's a much greater diversity in skills and abilities, and in class diversity, whether you use the Barbarian character who is very tough or the Wizard who has an enormous amount of control, and so forth. Adding co-op, too, also adds a deeper combat element.
