Changes

The [[paper doll ]] is on top, with shoulders and pants added to the item slots we saw in Diablo II. The [[Talisman]] is seen below the paper doll on the right, while an empty space on the lower left must be reserved for some future feature.

Below the paper doll is the inventory grid, which has repeatedly changed in form and function. One feature returning from Diablo II is the [[gold ]] counter, with the amount of coin a character is carrying shown numerically, and no inventory space required to hold the money.

There are no charms [[charm]]s in Diablo III, and as far as is known, no other items that force a trade-off between storage space and bonus stats.

The slots in [[Diablo III ]] bags work very differently from the inventory slots in [[Diablo II]]. Diablo III is moving away from the "Tetris-style" inventory of different sized items, in preference for a more World of Warcraft style storage system with items fitting into slots, and additional bags increasing the storage capacity of each character.

The inventory storage has changed numerous times during development, and will likely change again. The most recent information was released on March 30, 2009, with the Blizzcast BlizzCast #8 [http://www.diii.net/blog/comments/blizzcast-8-live-with-diablo-iii-goodies/]. As of that date, a character's storage space is divided into three separate tabs, opened by clicking them below the paperdoll[[paper doll]]. Each tab has its own color colour scheme and art style (I.E Stitched Borders on Small Item Tab/Pouch), The Three Tabs are:

Each Tab will have a bag assigned to it, each bag will have a predetermined number of slots. Players will start with standard bags in each tab, which will likely only hold a small % of the maximum possible. (In the Blizzcon BlizzCon build, October 2008, with a slightly different inventory system, new characters had 10 out of a maximum of 30 spaces available.) As players progress, they will find larger bags, which add more storage spaces to the inventory. It's not known if one type of bag will add spaces to each tab; for instance a bag might give 6 large slots and 12 small, or there might be different bags for each inventory tab. Nothing is known about quest item storage limits either; it might be necessary to finish a quest or abandon it, before new quest items could be picked up?
