Pretty nice graphics, Not much charecter development. You juz pick what you want to kill with and that's it. Lots of different weapons though, with many different magical bonuses. Even unique items. Only thing that kept me interested. After playing the single player storyline, there's a bigger online storyline.

Good to Great to SoSo

I have been playing for several weeks now and the game has started to loose its freshness.
When I started the game play in single player mode it was fun. The new graphics excellent. However, the game just seems to lack the depth of say Diablo LOD.
Sure there are mods available now, but no matter what you change it seems like cheating, and the game becomes less appealling.
Now multiplayer is better because you can play with friends but you still don't have a lot of replay value once you have completed a map.
To end on a high note I look forward to getting some mods that make the game more playable or even write my own because the graphics and camera control is so fantastic. Any RPG player should at least look at this game and the editor.

A game that provides you a different experience.

I didn't realize Dungeon Siege was a good game until a few years after I played it. It begin to dawn upon me that I did have a few unique and different experience with Dungeon Siege than I have with other average RPG games. I ignored those experience and concluded that the game wasn't good enough, but then I now know that it does have the some unique characteristics and differences. As for how entertaining the game was, I'd say that at first the game is BORING. If you're playing a single playing mode of kingdom of Ehb you start out as a farmer with very little equipment. You'll start fighting these annoying Krugs who don't seem like the worthy opponents as well as the mosquito bugs that annoyingly flies around you. But as you progress through the game you might find yourself addicted to it. The various types of armors, weapons, and magic will become your major incentive in the game. You'll travel around the world hacking and slashing your opponents to gather gold, and sometimes you go beneath the dungeons to find a few treasures so you would have enough money to buy items. The traveling is another part of the addiction. As you travel around, you'll be curious enough to ask yourself what kind of items do merchants sell in the next town. Since you already have what you need from the current town you would want to go to the next to get more. Another incentive in this game is the exploration. The Peninsula map in Dungeon siege for example is HUGE. I played at least 24 hours total (If I can correctly recall), and I'm still around lvl 33, and I haven't even explored the world completely. I probably only traveled probably around 1/3 of the world. Again you'll probably be curious enough to ask yourself if there are other parts of the world that'll catch your interest. The only uniqueness and differences I found within the game are obviously these: 1) There's absolutely no loading when you travel around the world 2) Your character naturally chooses his own class and increases his attributes/skills based on what weapons (or magic) he uses. 3) The party adds up the fun of the game, traveling alone makes it much more difficult for your character 4)The Siege tools are unique part of Dungeon Siege, I never used them but you can learn them yourself or from Siege University.5) You can download MODS or worlds such as a DS version of Ultima V, you can have fun with those. 6) Traveling can be fun out of curiosity, the journey seems endless. 7) You can use pack mules to carry your equipments 8) you're character's status changes as he develops such as a Page, Squire, and Knight, and then Legionary. I personally found that creative.

The graphic of this game is outdated but it is still adjustable like other games. Nevertheless you'll still find yourself amazed by some of the scenes of the environment you interact with. The sound quality wasn't great in my opinion. I thought the hack/slash sound didn't sound realistic, and the enemies crying out after they die sounded retarded. The music however is well done, it fits very well in certain scenes of the game. Sometimes you'll get a feeling from the music.

The Multiplayer Mode is interesting. I haven't played it as much as I wanted to but all I can say is that I encountered a few interesting things. You can load up a mod you downloaded for both you and your friends to play in. It doesn't have to be one mod, which is a single-playing map, it can also be other mods as well. After you are finished playing the game the result status will show how many enemies you killed, how much you leveled up, how many dungeons you discovered, and ect. The statistics are interesting, which is one thing I like about the multiplayer mode. Playing with your friends is something I didn't do, but I can imagine that it would be fun traveling in a vast world with yoru friends.

The only flaws I found in this game is that the game can get repetitive. No matter who you slew down you feel like it's the same enemy. The hack and slash can get annoying, there's really no reason in doing this except getting some money. The game can get old pretty quickly, but for me sometimes I just want to go back to the game. Another flaw is the lack of side-quest. There aren't enough quest to keep you interested, thus the game does get boring because of that. Sometimes you can get lost in the world if you don't know how to properly use your map. There are even times that no matter how much you properly used the map you still can't find an exit. This makes the game challenging but it also makes it annoying at times, it shows that the map can be confusing.

I'm pretty sure there are more to say, but I want to go straight to the point. This game did give me a different experience, If you give this game a chance for a while you'll find yourself addicted to it. Depending on who you are this game either gets old quickly or you'll still find yourself enjoying this game. So do I recommend this game? Yes I do, this game is different from other games, it's not the best game out there but it definitely provides you something different that other games do not have. I already listed the things that this game has, but there are probably more. If you wish to know what I'm trying to say, play the game.

Didnt know fun came in CD's :)

You know, for a student at College...I've been twiddling my thumbs in such classes like C++ and other sorts just dyin to go home to play a phenomenon which has come to be known as 'Dungeon Siege'. Anyone else been playing this??? They damn Krugs (ogre like creatures) keep killing my whole damn party since my donkey loses control in single player but in multiplayer, my level 38 Ranger is a god ...of course the game has too much lag on 56K...so I host and wait for the next [person] to enter my game.

Enough bout my personal experience...basically I think this game is absolutly superb. If you have a half decent graphics card (GeForce 2) then this game will utilise the GPU in a stunning way. You definetly notice the T&L (Textures And Lighting features in the Graphics card). The game doesn't have so much of a story but it does have absolutly stunning graphics. This is your simple hack and slash game similar to Diablo and Phantasy Stars Online. The game is slightly reptetitive but when playing online, it brings the gaming to a whole new level as it extends your gameplay.

The game does keep you occupied for a long time and it's well worth the money I assure you :)

Dammit, it's addictive...

This game is so boring, the action is repetitive and takes no skill from the player. All you have to do it point where you want your guys to attack. You don't grow attacked to your character because you can replace it very easy; no strategy is involved in choosing skill or what ever. So me its just a mindless game that is not satisfying.
A day after buying this game I returned it, its just a waste of time. its hard to even call it a hack-in-slash because you don't even click to attack
get Neverwinter Night, or Morrowind, even Diablo II if you want a cool RPG
IF you want boring game easy to play get DS

...Other games limit you in advance what class you chose and what abilities you have... a fighter can NOT learn a magic spell...or anything else..which is WAYYYY un-realistic....and why should a sorcerer or mage NOT be able to use a sword ? Even a sorcerer one day could decide he wants to train his fighting capabilities...and then he'd get some experience in this area.

In Dungeon Siege you chose WHAT YOU WANT. You can chose ONLY to train your melee/fighting ability...or you can have a mixed character. Of course if you split your experience and training (some goes to magic..some to fighting) then you might be not as GOOD in one specific field as a specialized character who decides ONLY to train ONE field...that's the most realistic thing to do it !!!

Instead that something get's "ruined" (in your opinion) it provides even more options.

All other limitations (like in certain other games) dont make much sense. Eg. i am a lvl 11 armsman in D.... right now. Does it make sense i am NOT able to get/buy a bow and shoot a arrow with it ? Just because the game developer decided it that way...?

My best friend and I have both tried this game and we both have the same opinion of it: its [bad]. While getting to have a pack animal to carry items is nice, and having the auto arranging inventory is cool, overall I hated the game. The wildly changing camera angles made me nauseous, the graphics were rather cheesy looking (kind of like "Unreal", which I'm not too
fond of, either), and I thought the overall game play was horrible. As a Programmer/Tech/Network Administrator with 14 years experience, I couldn't wait to get this game off of my computer. I know that "Diablo II: LOD" could be better in areas, but for me, it's a much more enjoyable game than that hunk of bit-garbage, "Dungeon Siege"

What a GREAT game!

I agree completely with ... review and have already recommended this game to anyone who will listen. Like her, I am a girl who loves RPG's, isn't into PVP, and likes to explore. I also really liked Diablo II, and am a magic user. This game is FABULOUS (beautiful, user-friendly, fun to play)! So far, I've played in single-player mode, and have yet to be disappointed. The game is completely stable. It hasn't crashed once (unlike Baldur's Gate). The auto-arrange feature in inventory is terrific. I can spend more time playing and less time juggling items around. There is also a feature that allows you to pick up all items on the ground with the push of one button, which adds to gameplay time. What a great game!

An Awesome Game, Worth Buying

I've only played the Trial Version of Dungeon Siege so far, but I still have a lot to say about it.
I'd like to start off by saying that the character modeling was very smooth and precise unlike some games where the character models have ending points on the different parts of the body.
The graphics for Dungeon Siege are incredible because not only are there about over 10 different types of scenarios that you enter during the game but the graphics for each melee/range/staff weapon are very high quality with very precise artwork done. I especially like the graphical effects for the over 100 spells that you can learn and find because each spell has a different graphical effect to it, and they are so incredibly complex it looks like the whole screen is changing colors for every second of the spell, which I think is awesome.
The amount of different items and different varities of monsters in the game really makes the game funner to play... Dungeon Siege has about 100 different monsters that you encounter, and each of them or more complex than the previous...
I'd like to add that the character statistics were poorly done because you only have about 4 skills to improve on, depending on what type of character you want to become. Despite this downfall, I still think they did the character statistics well.
The music for the game is incredible because if your about to enter a sub-boss/boss or a super monster, the music will start to get a bit louder, and you can feel the chill going down your body. I really like this musical effect because it keeps you constantly paying attention the game every second, especially when those intense musical backgrounds kick in.

I think they should have put in atleast 5 different characters to choose from at the start of the game so that the game can fit each different type of player. And the choosing between a Male and Female character I think is worse then Diablo I because in Diablo I you had the option of choosing a Warrior or a Sorceress while in Dungeon Siege you only have the option of choosing from between a Male and a Female. Even though this part of the game probably wasn't concentrated on that much, I still think they should have made a effort to add atleast a couple of different character classes to choose from.
I know this isn't that important, but I was really impressed with how they designed the Dungeon Siege title where a sword goes the the "iege" part of Siege, and, in the process, makes an explosion effect while going through the letters.
Even though this is a rather new game, I still think hacking should be stopped immediately because who really wants to play with someone that is the highest level possible, with all of the best stats, items, weapons, and spells. I think the makers of Dungeon Siege should make it so that ever server can detect whether a player is hacking or not, and if they are hacking, they are immediately banned from the server and prohibited from playing Dungeon Siege for 7-21 days.
Overall, I'd recommend this to any age except children 5 and under. I'll end my review by saying that this game is a step in the right direction for advanced Graphics, Character Modeling, Scenario Editing, Level Designing, and Object Designing...
