Holy hell, that game looks cool Zekke... is it any good?

(By that I mean how it compares to BG of course [img]smile.gif[/img] )

Oh forget the stupid groundhog LOL. Most things make a shadow even if the sun isn't out, the whole groundhog thing is preposterous, and they take some poor hibernating groundhog out of his warm den to lift it up to a cheering crowd (you know they shoot it with darts to tranquilize it, or it's fake and a tame ground hog or something LOL). Ridiculous LOL.

Spring is coming soon dammit! :D Nah.Nah.Nah.Nah! [img]tongue.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

It does not compare to BG Jorath. The story is very small and undetailed, and you spend most of your time fighting. There is not much of going into towns and talking to people and getting stories and tons of side quests, etc. You do get a few sidequests in towns, but mostly towns are for just getting supplies and getting a short quip from someone on what to do next.

But the game is graphically really cool. And you get to have a large party which I always have liked in a game. Thing is, see I'm trying to finish my old single player Dungeon Siege game right now. I have bought DS again, with the add-on. Seems you can't find Dungeon Siege, the original version, easily anymore, what is in stores now is the box with DS with add-on included and that's it, and I peeked in the box (of the one with the addon) and saw three disks, "disk 1" "disk 2" "disk 3", i.e., no particular "add on disk." So I want to finish my game so I can take it off and load the other with the add on and see how it goes in a multigame, as I do no think I can keep my original one on my PC along with the other. So if you want to get the game and try it, then the one with the add-on is what you want. I have no idea what the add on does, or what it adds, will find out. [img]smile.gif[/img] I imagine though that the basics are the same as in the original.

And supposedly there is going to be a Dungeon Siege 2, but not sure when that will ever come out LOL. So all in all I like the game, but some do not because they feel it is too Diablo-like re all the fighting. Thing is it IS like Baldurs in that you can pause, pick spells, etc., and then continue. I'm really terrible at explaining things LOL, hope you get the gist at least of what I'm saying.

Dungeon Siege Z? I remember playing that on my uncle's computer, didn't like it too much, the beginning of it already threw me off from the rest.

Oh it's not a new game at all Jorath. I'm trying to play games that I never finished but are still on my PC now. Our BG multigame interrupted a lot of that, although that is a flimsy excuse LOL. So yeah I want to conquer this game, including the add-on in a multi with friends. I have so many games I haven't played yet, still unopened in their boxes LOL, I'm sad. But yeah you should be able to get Dungeon Siege at a pretty decent price by now. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Gangrell, the game changes though as you go through it, so you cannot take what you see and do in the beginning as a precursor to what you will do and see in the rest of the game. There is the Goblin City chapter which is a biotch, I think it was harder than even later chapters LOL. And the weapons used against youare so different in that no bows or swords or spells, but machines with fire torches and timed bombs LOL. Then you get to other areas later with different creatures and different scenery. I dunno I'm enjoying it. I've got tons of screen shots of this game I haven't even posted here, just cause this game really gives me so many good shots with the ability to zoom in and swivel.

I guess we are all different re what we like in a game, and I can understand those that do not like DS, I just don't feel the same way. I really do appreciate it when a game has nice graphics, and if I can zoom in I always check everything out up close. Heck even Planescape Torment, an "old" game now, had some great graphics, and the spells were awesome to watch. Each game has it's own things to offer, depending on what you like I reckon, and I just am having fun playing DS right now. Oh I love Sacred too, that will be my next single player game to finish once I'm done with my SP Dungeon Siege, gotta patch that biotch up I'm sure, but that game also rocks. :D

I paid 5€ for it Jorath, found it in the bargainbins.

Cloudbringer 02-20-2005 11:53 PM

Ooops! I posted this in the old Cafe!

If I keep seeing all those beasties in DS, I may not get through my single game might be laughing too hard!...nipple rings and lava.... what a collection! LOL!
