It has some improvements over the first installment; the classes are more defined, and it's somewhat greater in scope, but I feel it focuses too much on the story (it's not very interesting; I wasn't really impressed by it or the characters). The world is pretty immersive, there's a good variety of enemies and some interesting (if unfair at times) bosses. A small gripe is that they reduced the party size (from 8 in the original to a max of 6 in this sequel). Still, it's a pretty nice experience, and it's a must-play for the fans of the first game.

A timeless classic in the world of RPG gaming, Even in todays market that's dominated by visual fidelity and (at times) technically advanced RPG's, Dungeon Siege 1 & 2 continue to shine as a beacon of peak game design and engaging gameplay all while giving the player to tools to experience a more simple gaming experience or a more in depth with its plethora of play types through item drops and build variety. World Building & Storytelling Set in the vibrant world of Aranna, Dungeon Siege 1 & 2 pulls the player into a conflict with an unknown evil known as the Seck that takes the player on a journey through varies different landscapes and dungeons all while trying to recover a mysterious staff that's being used as the catalyst of all the recent evil plighting the land of Aranna. Unlike a lot of recent "AAA" RPG's "cough cough Dragons Dogma 2 cough" that decided to prioritize flashy graphics over substance, Dungeon Siege 1 & 2, even with its simplistic plot, captivates the player with its well-crafted lore found through different books and the way the plot unfolds through out the players journey including various different side quest's that go beyond your basic "go here and get this" or "go here and kill that", even though these quests are present they aren't the underline main type of side content you'll come across. Character Building & Stat Building One of Dungeon Siege 1 & 2's standout features is its simple yet varied character build system. Even though the build system was considered robust back in 2005, its fairly limited in todays standard. However, you are given the option to build your party with up to six different recruitable character you will find through out the world of Aranna. Each with their own unique personalities and charm and depending on who you pick you can get different dialogue moments when coming across different points through out your journey depending on who you pick. You can also choose to purchase a pet which is a fantastic system where you can actually grow your pet by feeding it different items which gives your pet better stats every time it grows up. A simple yet fun and engaging system that gives Dungeon Siege 1 & 2 a bit more substance. Combat & Interface Combat is another area where this game glows. Battles are fast-paces and tactical, requiring the player to make strategic decisions on the fly or with the help of your handy-dandy pause button. Dungeon Siege 1 & 2 also shines with its intuitive and also, here's that word again, simple and responsive controls that helps make combat seamless and a thrilling experience, allowing players to focus on the action without being bogged down by clunky mechanics or a cumbersome menu. The emphasis on fluid, engaging and thrilling gameplay is what helps set Dungeon Siege 2 apart from the rest of the ARPG's on the market, old or new but when new then typically the cinematic spectacles take center stage over satisfying and fluid gameplay. Conclusion Dungeon Siege 1 & 2 remains a standout ARPG experience in the RPG genre, even in the face of more modern AAA releases with flashy graphics and a vast open world. Its a timeless gameplay experience with a profound emphases of fun over graphics. Substance over fidelity. An experience that few contemporary titles can match. if you're a fan of classic ARPG's or ARPG's in general, Dungeon Siege 1 & 2 is a must-play title that has stood the test of time. EDIT : My only real gripe about this game is how checkpoints work. If you die in combat, dont expect to be able to just respawn at the nearest checkpoint which are few and far between anyway and the lack of a reload feature really emphasizes the will to stay alive since if you do end up dying in combat, expect to make that long track back to wherever you died at and if you dont have the money to regain the items you drop when you die (which you shouldn't run into that issue) then expect to have to walk all the way back to you and your parties dead bodies without any gear. Thats my only real issue with this game which is still impressive. Typically, with newer games, i have way more then just one issue with any given, modern day "AAA" game.

I've been playing this game since the year it came out and it is so much fun. Especially with the mods that are available for it. I wish there were more games like this, party based fighting rpgs. I think dragon age origins is the closest, but I've not been able to find anything else quite like it since it came it. This game is literally my gaming first love.

I frigging love this game, and it's tragic that it's so hard to get it to run properly with the expansion content, working multiplayer, and a decent screen resolution. This is IMO a better game than any action-RPG on the modern market today, and it's just abandoned. Tragic.
