Quote:Note that the game itself is also fully 3-dimensional now: dungeons will be randomly generated in 3D(!), and monsters as well as other moving objects can move and attack in any direction (x,y,z). This is a big step forwardWell, is it? I'm not so sure about that.;)On a 2D display, It also means it could all become more confusing. I have a very bad sense of orientation, and I'm heavily relying on the automap feaure in this kind of games. I have very bad memories about finding my way in fully 3D dungeons in Morrowind... :wacko: Additionally, targetting a specific enemy could become harder in a fully 3D environment, or assessing if an enemy is in range to attack. To counter that, the game seems to rely more on AoE spells and such, but I'd prefer more control instead. I loved D1 in that regard, and in D2 preferred skills that could manipulate single enemies like the Necro over more mindless skills like Frozen Orb. But of course it's way too early to tell how this will be in D3. :)
