Yeah that was my fear, that it would be hard to implement.
But I am seeing how random it is this playthrough and also how lousy and frustrating it can be, I have found at level 12 and I am in Hiberheim, not one weapon or set of armor that is really worth having I do have a few rings and amulets that do not completely blow/suck but it hardly makes up for it. Even the merchants are selling crap items. Again I think Merchants should all generate some legendary and unique items every level up, it doesnt have to be a ton of em just 1 ring, 1 robe/armor, 1 amulet, 1 belt, 1 boots, 1 helm/hat, 1 2h weapon, 1 1h weapon 1 missile weapon....etc. Make it worth it to go and look and try to get something better.
Linio your right some of the loot is just stupid, amulets with 1 elemental resistance, weapons that give a boost to something else thats contradictory +1 2handed on a dagger or +1 shield on a 2 handed weapon for instance. The Stone Sword....
Putting talents on items would be a cool thing if the talent doesnt suck! Especially some ofthe hi-tier talents which are really hard to qualify for.
