However, if you prefer a greater level of character customization, you can turn on what's called elective mode. This is a sensible restriction if you're a novice player, because it helps ensure that your character is well rounded, with a complementary assortment of abilities. These skills are divided into distinct categories-primary, secondary, defensive, and so on-and by default, you can have only one skill from each category equipped at a time.
You very quickly open up slots for new types of abilities if you're playing as a demon hunter, for instance, you begin with a basic archery attack, but you can soon supplement this with resource-draining skills like a rapid fire ability, enemy-slowing caltrops, acrobatic somersaults that can get you away from enemies, and other techniques. That may sound dull, but in fact the rate at which you acquire new skills is part of what makes Diablo III so hard to pull yourself away from.
You choose one of five character classes, and though they become quite distinct at later levels, they all start with nothing but basic offensive skills. If you've played earlier games, you'll likely get even more out of Diablo III-the music that plays in the New Tristram area may send nostalgic shivers down your spine-but the gameplay is welcoming and easy to grasp for vets and newcomers alike.
