In this section you can find an overview of all features that are planed to be implemented in the final version of the game.
Diablo 3 will be an action-roleplaying game, that’s for sure.
But the developers of Diablo 3 took their time for creating a smooth game concept and a fast pacing gameplay.
There will be more changes from Diablo 2 to Diablo 3, than from Diablo 1 to Diablo 2.
In the future month we will be all informed about new features, and Blizzard mentioned, that there will be lots of surprises and something “amazing” that will define Diablo 3.

Here is a list about the yet known features:

Graphics:
Diablo 3 will be seen in 3D. It will be theoretically possible to move the camera 360 degrees, whether this will be implemented, or the known fixed camera position will be used, is yet not known.
A good farsight, great special effects and smooth animations can be seen already in the gameplay trailer.
Diablo 3 will not use the newest graphical enhancements like directX 10, Blizzard wants to allow also users with older computers to experience a fluent gameplay.

Physics:
Beside the new optical look, there will be also an physics engine in Diablo 3.
We have already seen in the gameplay trailer, that it will be possible to interact with the enviroment, like smashing tables, chairs.
There are also locations in the game, where players can use the enviroment to handle dangerous situations, like dropping walls on opponents, which offer a much more dynamic gameplay.

Randomization:
Blizzard wants the players, everytime they start Diablo 3, to experience a new game. The randomized dungeon system, as we know from the forerunnners, is not only implemented again, but also enhanced.
There will also be random quests, which means, that on some locations there will be scripted adventures, to give the players always the feeling of exploring new areas.
For example, players can find a caravan, which needs escort out of a dangerous zone.

Characterclasses:
Blizzard announced that there will be five character classes to choose from.
The barbarian, known from Diablo 2 and the new witchdoktor are already introduced.
The three remaining classes are still not yet determined, and there are many discussions and much speculation, which character classes will be implemented at the start of Diablo 3.
It is clear, that every character class will offer its own feeling of gameplay.
A new feature is the free choice, which gender the new hero can be. For example, there will be female and male barbarians now, which of course has only optical effects. The chosen gender will have no effect on the abilities of the character classes.
There may be further individualisation in the later gameplay, but no details are yet revealed.

Healthsystem:
One major change in Diablo 3 is the new healthsystem.
The massive use of healing and manapotions will not be implemented in the new game.
In the gameplay trailer we can see, that some of the defeated monsters drop “Red Globes”, which heal for a small amount of health, while running over them.
In multiplayer modus, this has also an effect on other players, so it will be possible to support the “frontline” with healing, while collecting orbs in the back. Cool!
