Dungeon siege 2 & Expansion; Broken World (small review)

[Dire_Wolf]

Ok, so i finished Dungeon siege 2 and the expansion, and it was really nice. The killing of monsters was not, but the Quests, main ones was sweet.

 

In Dungeon siege, you can go around the "world" with a party. For example, your max total of members is 3 in the beginning (i think). You can make your party members into nature or combat mages, archers or warriors. And then there is more details like, 2h weapon warrior (high hits) or dual wielding weapon or sword and shield warrior.

 

Then there is "Special powers", which is the foundation for getting special attacks. You can in Special power interface increase HP or MP of a character for example, and by doing so eventually you will get new powers to use.

 

There is loads of weapons and armor, and items. You can even make your own items through "crafting system". There is so many items, that it's hard to evaluate which is best. Sometimes i use NPC shops to see which has higher price to give me a clue.

 

When you talk to any NPC, they will have couple lines to say, and it's voiced, so it's not texted. The voices is pretty good.

 

And there is....LOADS QUESTS, which means loads monsters.

 

 

MY RATING

Story; it gets 7/10, and moves to 8/10 when you play Expansion (sequal to Dungeon siege 2).

 

Game play; 6/10, having to run around so many places for this quest and this without being able to clicking on map gets very annoying. Your forced to click quite often to reach your destinations.

 

There is arrow guiding where you have to go for main quest, and stars, yellow for main quest, and silver for secondary quests. So if your close to a quest destination, you should see a star.

 

Now and then your party members start talking to eachother.

 

 

So this is some of stuff i had in mind, and wanted to write it down to share it with you. I also have a funny dialogue to mention;

 

In one quest called "Missing", where a husband reports his wife missing and asks for your help. When you have found the missing wife, she has been turned into a monster by some of the villains (just like many other creatures/races). This woman has a kid called "Alren". When you talk to kid, you have option to "(make a funny face)".

 

And if you choose that one, the kid will reply "hahaha, that's weird!" (not rude, just innocently). And your reply is "Not as weird as your mothers". (Owned that poor kid).

 

So if you like Quests, you should defintly try Dungeon siege 2 and the sequal; Broken World. Dungeon siege 2 is beginning of the end (Broken world).
