Transmogrification doesn’t add any attributes to your items, but instead allows you to change the appearance to anything that’s available in the game. The process is random, but if you have an item that would be perfect for you but it has an attribute that is out of place for you, at least you have the chance to change it. Instead of adding attributes to an item, you can replace an attribute with another. Enchanting works a little different that other games however. A Mystic who can enchant or transmogrify weapons and armor. Last but not least, there is now an additional artisan. I always hated having to combine tons of a lower tier ingredients just to get a couple of a higher tier, it made crafting items you actually wanted almost impossible. Meaning, instead of the tiered system of ingredients that was in place before, the yield from salvaging items is the same across all levels and difficulties, making the process of creating armor and weapons much simpler. Almost everything you need for crafting weapons and armor can be obtained by salvaging unwanted items and is persistent across all levels. In addition, the ingredients necessary for crafting with your blacksmith have been reduced considerably.

It is also no longer necessary to craft items that are required to upgrade your artisan, everything you need can be collected. For instance, collecting tomes for training your Artisans is no longer required. In addition to opening up the world of Diablo III to the player, there have also been some streamlining modifications made to several of the economy functions found in Diablo III. Basically it just opens up the game so you can play how you want to, when you want to, without having to work your way through the story again, which is a welcome change. Or if you just wish to travel to locations within the world map and lay waste to some enemies, you can do that. This mode also opens up Rifts that have a higher legendary item drop rate (and are much more difficult) so you can outfit your character while playing through areas with a little more variety. In Adventure Mode, you choose one of the five locations from the game and complete quests called “bounties” for rewards. While the addition of a fifth act definitely extended the duration of the game and the amount of times you would have had to play through to level a character, the addition of adventure mode gives you a much more attractive way to play without the repetitiveness that could become a grind. One of the things that did actually bug me about the original Diablo III was the need to traverse the same story over, and over, and over, and over again to level up your characters.

This brings me to the genius that has been injected into Diablo III with this latest release–Adventure Mode. Either way, I found myself enjoying an entirely new area, with new enemies and quests. Act V seemed to be longer than the other acts, but I’m not sure if it felt that way because I explore every inch of every world map and kill everything in sight, or if it was technically longer. The whole of humanity is under threat from an unexpected force, and it is up to you as the Nephalem to stop it. I dove right into Act V, which as you would imagine, takes place after the end of the original Diablo III. I was happy to see Slappy (my Barbarian) and after a few minutes on the battlefield, we were intimately reacquainted and destroying the hordes of hell, laughing all the way. This was extremely simple to do, just export your characters from your original version in the options menu and import on your console of choice, mine just happened to be the PS4.

I started off my next-gen adventure by exporting my level 60 Barbarian from my original play through of Diablo III on PS3, so I wouldn’t lose all the work I had put in last year, thus enabling me to be able to get straight to new content. Diablo III: Reaper of Souls – Ultimate Evil Edition does so many things right it’s going to be hard to cram them all into this review, but it won’t be for my lack of trying. So much so that I thought the addition of Reaper of Souls and other tweaks couldn’t do anything to improve my love for the game. I loved the original version of Diablo III.
