Runes in Diablo 4 are special Items that can be inserted into Weapons and Armor that have sockets on them. Runes are divided into two categories: Condition Runes and Effect Runes. When combined, Runes can form "Rune Words" that provide additional effects.

This system looks very promising, but it would be very good if you can add the rune word system to it. For example you get conditions and effects for 2 runes, but for some combinations of runes you get new unique effect like in Diablo 2
Typical blizzard, they will probably add this as an expansion because its not in the main game. Just like TBC on WoW was ripped out of the launch version and sold as an expansion...
