hey heres a preview i found on the web directly from the mouth of a Beta tester whos auctualy played dungeon siege!
This game is awesome.... Every piece of equipment has its own animation and it looks gorgeous. Pack mules will defend themselves from enemies by kicking and if they get hurt bad they retreat. Dying is sorta like Diablo 2 except you faint first then slowly die. So you have some time to get healed. If everyone in your party gets killed you have no one to resurrect you. You have to pay a fine of half your experience on whatever weapon/skill you were you using. It’s good to hire a mercenary and keep resurrect scrolls on your mule, and on your npc.
Monsters Are Insanely tough. Before you attack you wanna make sure you have an escape route you will have to retreat at least twice. I play as a Wizard and I must say.... The spell’s colors are absolutely gorgeous and well animated. When your armor and weapons begin to wear you can see cracks in blades tear and hole in armor.
ALSO MY FAVORITE !!!! is if you get hit by an arrow you have to stop and pull it out. There’s a really sweet animation for it and sound. Glowing weapons, you can see fire on your swords, etc, etc. Awesome! The only major peeve I have with the game is, that the maps are so big!!! It can take one hour + to do some maps but there a lot of fun.
As soon as you exit the server your character saves.
Guys also, if you really want to enjoy this game, please get at least 512 ram for flawless play. The box says 128 recommended 256, your system is going to have to write to the hard drive and that causes stuttering. Well that’s my review. It’s like Everquest only no 10 dollar a month fee and like Diablo2 only it’s not repetitive.
