Did you think Dungeon Siege was a good game?

I've been playing Dungeon Siege all day yesterday. At first, I thought the game was pretty damn cool. But I don't even see the point of playing a few hours later. I went the route of a warrior, and the entire game goes like this.

1) Click an enemy.

2) Wait.

3) ????

4) Profit

I only have one thing to level up (Strength), and it levels up pretty slowly. About 1 level per hour of gameplay. The key thing that makes a dungeon-crawler Diablo clone fun is progression. Dungeon Siege has little progression. If I actually bought this when it was released, I would have wasted my money.

What did other people think of the game?

Well I didn't like the first one, but the second one was pretty cool, I even almost finished it but then my save file got corrupt somehow...

I got bored to tears by the time i reached the mountainous goblin place. Stopped playing it. Uninstalled it. Never played it again.

Some quick replies. :P

Carlosjeuro, in virtually every other dungeon crawler I've played, each class has skills that you can use and level up so you aren't just left clicking each monster systemically. But in Dungeon Siege, you're doing just that.

Dnuggs40, there's 7 things that level up. Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence, Melee Skill, Ranged Skill, Combat Magic, and Nature Magic. Melee Skill and Ranged Skill don't do anything, so you're left with 5 things. Now being a warrior, my main attribute is strength. I don't need or use dexterity, intelligence, or magic. So the only stat that matters to me is strength.

I think also the higher skill you have in melee or ranged allow for stronger attacks and might have something to do with your % on getting critical strikes.

It's been a while since I played, but I think that's how things went.

As for the games, I rather enjoyed the first one. The second one had the worst voice acting ever and it hurt my head having to listen to people talk....I never did beat the second one.

I have countless hours in DS both in the single player campaign and online...multi-purpose characters do not fail at all. Melee and nature is a good mix...so is some others. Obviously your secondary skill will but MUCH lower than your primary, but you will get some nice bonuses from the other skillset.

"but about 1 point every 3 hours of gameplay. "

Been a long time...but that doesn't sound right at all...exaggeration?

Anyways...I am not sure what you are looking for...if you don't like the game there's nothing anybody can do about that. It's a diablo-ish game that has a leveling mechanics that works by your character repeating actions over and over and over again...if this doesn't appeal to you I really don't know what to say lol.

I played it right to the point where you enter this graveyard and all the zombies start killing your donkey. I then quit the game. Then I restarted it about a year later, reached the same spot - and quit it again.

It's a pretty good game. The second one was better but I prefer the first one anyway

Not at all. I played about 5 hours, and my dexterity is only at 11.5 (with a warrior character).

My problem with the game is that it's by far the shallowest Diablo clone I've ever played. It's got no skill trees, no abilities, nothing of the sort.

5 hours you should be well on your way in the game...and it should be higher than that.

I am going to reinstall it later tonight to see how far I can get in an hour or two...was meaning to replay it anyways been a while.

You should really play Dungeon Siege II along with the expansion Broken World. It introduces so much more that was missing from the original Dungeon Siege such as skill trees for each class and special powers as well. There is also dual weilding for melee characters. There is also a decent story line that kept me interested at least. More character development, story, interesting companions, pets, skill trees, special powers, etc. The only problem is that its linear like the original. The multiplayer in DSII wasn't as great as DSI because DSI had a wonderful open ended map to explore. DSII just as the same singleplayer campaign but in multiplayer form.

The expansion introduces two new classes that use two different skills. One uses nature/melee while the other uses magic/range. Experience goes to both skills as you level up.

Once you play DSII you wont be able to go back to DSI its just that much better imo
