Yes but not for that reason.

1) The game decide the base item you will get.
2) The game decide what rarity the item is.

I read the exact contrary.

1) the game decide if you get an unique or not
2) the game decide the base item

For example:
[there was an item linked here that has since been wiped. It had +69 armour, 9% increased armour, and 20% quality]
This Horned Casque has a base armour rating of 428. Then the +69 is added to get 497 armour. Then the 9% bonus raises it to 541, and finally +20% quality results in 650 armour.

Another example calculation
If you had a sword whose unmodified damage is 10-20, with the following modifiers:

50% increased physical damage on the weapon;
20% quality on the weapon;
5-10 added physical damage on the weapon;
passive skills granting 30% increased sword damage;
a skill that does 40% increased damage and 30% less damage;

the calculation would would look like this:

Base damage: 10-20
Stage 1, on-weapon modifiers: (10-20 + 5-10) x (1 + 0.5 + 0.2) = 25.5-51
Stage 2, all other modifiers: (25.5-51) x (1 + 0.3 + 0.4) x 0.7 = 30-61

Consider a player using a skill with Penetrates 50% Fire Resistance dealing 100 fire damage to an enemy:

The enemy has +150% Fire resistance, but is capped at their maximum fire resistance of 75%. The enemy is cursed with Flammability before being attacked, which causes them to lose 30% Fire Resistance.

The enemy first loses 30% resistance, bringing them down to +120% fire resistance. They are still well above their maximum, and their resistance value remains at 75%. The 50% penetration then results in an effective 25% fire resistance. The enemy will take 75 fire damage.

Hi all, could I get a confirmation on how the penetration mechanic works? Got this from the wiki:

Does this mean that regardless of how overcapped an enemy is on a certain element, a lvl 20 penetration would always ignore/bypass 35% of the resists? Or is this a typo on the wiki?

Does Inner Force increased the More Spell % Damage of Righteous Fire? I know it increases the burning damage on you.
