 The [[Diablo III]] version of the inventory/paper doll is altered in numerous ways. The [[Inventory]] page details the improvements to the inventory and character storage space.  Other differences include:

+The [[Diablo III]] version of the inventory/paper doll is altered in numerous ways. The [[Inventory]] page details the improvements to the inventory and character storage space.  Other differences include:
-* There are two more item slots in Diablo III -- [[Shoulder Pad]]s and [[Pant]]s are new item types, joining the [[Helm]], [[Amulet]], [[Ring]]s, [[Chest Armor]], [[Belt]], [[Feet|Boots]], [[Hands|Gloves]], and [[weapons|Weapon slots]] of [[Diablo II]].
+* There are three new armor slots in Diablo III -- [[Shoulders]], [[Pant]]s, and [[Bracers]] (wrists).
-* There is probably not going to be a [[weapon switch hotkey]] in Diablo III. At least not in the initial game. Thus no tab to select it.
+* Returning armor types consist of: [[Helm]], [[Amulet]], two [[Ring]]s, [[Chest Armor]], [[Belt]], [[Boots]], [[Gloves]], [[shield]], and [[weapons|Weapon slots]] of [[Diablo II]].
-* The [[Talisman]] is a new type of item/function about which many mysteries still remain.
+* The [[weapon switch hotkey]] did not return in Diablo III. (At least not in [[D3v]].
-==Paperdoll Evolution==
+The Inventory and Paper Doll evolved frequently during Diablo III's development.
-The Inventory Window and most of the other game interface screens have changed many times during the development cycle. And can be expected to continue evolving. Here's a view of the much less polished paper doll/[[inventory]] from the WWI Gameplay movie. This is how the interface looked back in June 2008, when the game made its debut.
+The [[inventory]] space changed repeatedly. The final form is a large 10x6 grid that is the same for all classes and levels, with all items either 1x1 or 1x2 in size. During development every aspect of this changed, including item size, inventory size, inventory space determined by bags and the [[Adventurer's Pack]], and much more.
-During the GamesCom 2010 Artisan reveal video, a new updated avatar was seen. This is probably not the last iteration of the inventory.
+The elimination of the [[character window]] and the incorporation of all those stats into the paperdoll (fitting into the space initially occupied by the talisman) occurred fairly late in development.
