I’m liking the game so far. I’m a level 49 necromancer, currently going through act 3.
The field of view looks diferent, but I’m enjoing the enhanced verticality of the maps. I was amazed when going down a moutain for the first time during the beta, and now in act 3 the dunes look so cool due to that!
Regarding the stats, I had to read up about their effects because I was also finding somethings odd, this is a good explainer: https://gamerant.com/diablo-4-stats-explained/ I would love if D4 implemented a system, lore adequate, similar to what death stranding has where there is an encyclopedia of game mechanics where everything is explained.
(Only now am I noticing, in the screenshots on that website, that they have popups when you mouse over the stats explaining things, never noticed them given that I am playing with the Xbox controller on my living room PC :o)
There are quite a few new systems ingame, its a diferent game from D3 wich was a diferente game from D2, for better and for worse.
I’m enjoying learning those new systems and playing within their restrictions.
Yes, Artemis by @hariette is looking good.
