<a href="http://www.gamestar.de/index.cfm?pid=452&pk=11739">Watch Leonard Boyarsky talk about Diablo 3</a> or <a href="http://www.diii.net/blog/comments/diablo-iii-gamestar-interviews-leonard-boyarsky/">grab the transcript here</a>.
<br>
<blockquote>Leonard: The synergy is basically emphasized with more than just one skill. That’s what we are basically doing with the rune system. And basically what it is you get random drops which was kind of like in first Diablo.
<br>
[...]
<br>
Basically what we’re doing with Battle.net we’re trying to make, we’re making - the best online gaming experience.
<br>
[...]
<br>
It’s going to be different in a lot of ways. You can get random adventures as well as random quests. Some of them are very small. You know, you come upon a caravan that’s under attack and you save them. Or don’t save them. You can get quests that maybe chain together that are random. Besides that, you have side quests and story-arc quests and you don’t only get these quests in town. Before it was very split, you get your quests in town and you go out and do them.</blockquote>
<br>
Basically, yeah, you know.

This interview is the perfect example of why spoken word is not to be transcribed directly to written medium!

Also, "best online experience" is pirated high-def porn, basically, you know. I didn't know B.Net was going to distribute that.

There was nothing in it that we didn't know, but hey, it's Leo. That itself makes it good.

They said you would have to pay for optional features, such as switching characters from server to server. Battle.net will still be free.

Well, Fallout 3 may have sucked, and Dragon Age may suck, but at least Diablo 3 looks promising.

Also, he probably doesn't mention battle.net being free because it always has been. I doubt they'll change too much from the ad-supported system they use right now.

I remember when I cringed when people said that "Diablo resembles Fallout".
Now I wish it were true.
