Arstechnica caught up with Diablo III senior artist Mike Nicholson to chat about the user interface design for the upcoming five player co-op title.  Adding more fodder to the fire, Mike let us know that we'll be seeing a lot of borrowing from World of Warcraft.

The biggest place the game will be borrowing will be World of Warcraft's inventory system, though fans will be happy to know different sized items will still be retained from Diablo 2.  World of Warcraft on the other hand uses a singular size item method.  But what is borrowed is a tabbed UI for separating these items, large and small, as well as quest items.

To me, what makes it a Diablo is the gameplay. As long as they keep the experience similar, I'm fine with the graphics and whatnot.

On a side note, I didn't want the Archivist to be an April Fool's joke. I actually like the idea of playing a killer librarian.

I think people complains too much about silly things.

THE ADDITION OF PANTS MAKES IT NOT DIABLO. BLIZZ SUX WTF

I'm just looking forward to Unicorns from Hell mode.

wow that actually sounds awesome, I loved the UI from Wow, but I loved also the inventory in #2. I've been debating heavily on buying an $1100 computer for this game, but I might just have to.

let me get my pocket book! I'ma be rich in game and broke in real life!
