No, not per character, you can do it as a simple graphic covering. Placing one graphic in front of another is as easy as it is id assume. Theyd be doing one image per item instead of 5 for each class, and then expansions..

The weapons aren't swung exactly the same arcs from different points on every character, I don't think.

I hope the stats of uniques items will more looks like d1 than d2. I explain, in d1 all unique are very unique (we can't compare it with others items) uniques are extremely unique in them stats, it's very special and very different from others items. In d2, unique have almost the same stat than normal magic items. In d2 I can separe unique in two groups, useless unique and extremely too over powerfull unique. The very powerful items are good only because of big boosted stats not because it's special in them kind.

I think Unique should mean Unique, and not just "An item with the same mods as everything else, just better".

In my opinion, there should be certain mods you can only find on a unique item. They are supposed to be unique in all aspects, not just apperance, so there being "unique only" mods sounds logical to me. That way, you would actually use uniques when you need that specific mod, even if the item itself might not be the greatest. This is because you can only get this mod from that one unique item, and not randomly find a rare with the same mod. Then all uniques wouldn't have to be overpowered to warrant use, or just be so bad that you'd rather find a rare that could be better.

The main problem with uniques in D2 is that they have static modifiers, while most other items have rather randomized ones. Now this wouldn't be a problem, if at least some of those mods were unique as well, but that's not the case as we all know. This means you could end up with a rare that's actually better than the unique you just found.

Bottom line: For D3, they should make uniques truely unique by giving them certain mods only that item can have. Not making it overpowered, but just giving it something that actually makes it unique aside from apperance, so you'll know that you'll have to stick with the item if you want the mod.

I remember reading that rares would be the best items, has this approach been changed?

The thing I hated about LoD the most was the way everything was standardized to the point of being lobotomized. Everyone wanted the same items for almost any class, like an enigma for an armor or archanid mesh for a belt for any caster.

This was mostly due to uniques having special stats that could not be found on rares. For a simple example +1 all (or any for the matter) skills on a ring, only two were the unique rings SoJ and BK.

Or another example, open wounds, deadly strike or crushing blow: only found in uniques, runewords and set items (and some crafted items for sake of accuracy). Not in any magical or rare item.
