There is an interesting interview with Jake McMahon, Vice President of Gas Powered Games, at Planet Dungeon Siege. Here's a bit about what he's currently working on:

    PlanetDungeonSiege:
    What were you doing today just before you got this email dropped in your inbox? Can you tell us a bit about the particular project that you were working on?

    Jake McMahon:
    Right now, Marsh Macy (Marsh runs the I.S. dept.) and I are doing an Analyze and Repair on the VSS database, but that's not too much fun. The other thing that I'm doing is to define and tune all of the magical modifiers that can go on the weapons, armor, and jewelry. Modifiers are magical enchantments that give the object special abilities; like + 3 to strength, or adds 2 to 7 damage. The bulk of the modifiers are built, now we are refining and tweaking them. We are also creating combinations for special modifiers like those that go on Rare objects. At current count, there are close to 1,000 unique pieces of art for weapons, armor, and jewelry. And just under 100 magical modifiers that can go on those. Taking into account the rules for which modifiers can be applied to objects, there are about 200,000 different combinations of magical weapons, armor, and jewelry in the game.
