I beat Dungeon Siege last night… at least the Single Player portion. It wasn’t bad. Typical fantasy plot, nothing fancy or special about it. In fact, it merely reinforces my thought that the real strength of this game isn’t the game itself, but the ability to create your OWN game out of it. I can’t wait for those editing tools to be released so I can start in on my own… Single Player was good, but Multiplayer will own!
I posted earlier about some of the things I liked and didn’t like about the game. I’m pleased to say that most of the things I’d change were already there and I just hadn’t found them, while some of the rest are easily fixed by small mods. The BSOD’s have mysteriously stopped, the Party AI is still a bit off and the pausing when someone joins a multiplayer game is still there (those pretty much require a patch from the blokes at Gas Powered Games). Of the rest, only the lack of a thief class, and the ability to use your quickslots for anything remain.
This is easily one fo the best games available right now… in my humble opinion, for any platform.
