What I want to know is.

Whether or not personalized items will be available, it's one thing to have a boatload of customization, why not a powerful system to create custom items alongside magically enchanted ones?

Would it be at all hard to implement?

Im very confused as to what you just said xD.

Diablo 2 seems to be a rather... Large inspiration, so I'm sure had you been part of the large community behind it, it'd be readily obvious from the many user-mods created for it, it had a fairly basic way of creating your own items.

It was however, not implemented in the core gameplay. But, it was however entirely possible at the time.

Basically, is it at all possible to implement item creation from a base choice, say a shield, then through crafting create an item with your own controlled enchantments.

I think I've heard about items that you can use to change the properties of
your equipment in one of the interviews... adding/re-rolling mods on a given item or turn normal items into magic/rare items.

I think this is the first time I've seen a 2,5 year old necro...
