 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.

 Blizzcon 2010 revealed that item icons in the inventory (as well as displayed on the paper doll) adapt to the looks of the item when equipped by the character itself. It was already known that the same item displays differently when worn by e.g. a [[wizard]] or a [[barbarian]]. [[Blizzcon 2010]]'s D3 Panel showed how one armor set worn by both classes had totally different icons according to the looks of the set on each of the classes.  [[Christian Lichtner]] explains the improvement during the [[Crafting_Sanctuary_Panel_Blizzcon_2010|Crafting Sanctuary panel]] at Blizzcon 2010 in the transcript below (also, see image to the right):

 [[File:Inv-small-bag.jpg|frame|Early bag system.]]
 During [[WWI 2008]] and [[BlizzCon 2008]], the inventory was similar to that of [[World of WarCraft]], with one slot for each item, and a possibility to expand the inventory space by adding up to four bags to your character. Smaller items also stacked up to five in a stack in order to save space. It started with 12 slots, but could progressively be upgraded to 30 slots.

 ::'''[[Mike Nicholson|Mike]]:''' Well one of the biggest things involved in Diablo are items, right? We’ve experimented with a few things and one of the big things that everyone liked from Diablo, as an entity, were the large objects right. While it was more efficient to go with a WoW style one size fits all icon, which is what most people have seen, we really wanted to see what we could do and so we went back and reevaluated the system and we’ve decided split it into large and small objects.
 That brings up the question of Tetris inventory all over again, and a lot of people are opposed to that, some people like it, some people don’t. So what we did we ended up tabbing the inventory, so now you have your large items, and then you have a tab for small items, and there’s a third tab for quest items. That way all the items can coexist nicely with each other without the frustration, which w as one of the complaints about the old system is the frustration in trying to fit everything into your pack.

 The inventory layout has evolved steadily during Diablo 3's development, with the general layout varying slightly, and the individual features changing a lot. See the full comparison image further down this page for a side by side look at the evolution.
