Diablo III Interface Screenshots Surface

Some new screenshots of Diablo III appeared along with the latest Blizzcast. They're notable for being the first shots to actually include some of the interface elements from the upcoming game. While the inventory and character doll look simple enough, the skill tree borrows heavily from World of Warcraft (which is proper, since it in turn borrowed from D2). I also can't help but notice that the menus take up a lot of space with both windows popped and that the inventory loot bags look like they are split between weapons, potions and I'll assume treasure. Blizzard is notorious for tweaking their games heavily before release so I'd take these as prototypes, but it's still cool to see that progress is being made on the game and I can look forward to losing another couple years of my life to a Blizzard game relatively soon.
