I enjoyed the loot and the color for uniqueness of items from the first and from a few screen shots it looks like it will be easier to manage the inventories of multiple characters better. My only hope/wish is that they make rename-able and dye-able bags and containers. I had at least 2 or 3 bags per character for all the stuff I wanted to organize like arrows and books and weapons but there were times when a bag would be mixed around and I would have to open each one to find stuff. I would have loved to dye them with the dyes through the crafting system at the very least.
The crafting system was fun too, but I feel like it was underwhelming at times. Hopefully they do more to encourage more crafting. That could also include renaming (for a price) special items you use all the time.
This maybe a little off topic/backward from what was being asked by the OP but that's my two cents on this.
