Dungeon Siege 3

<< < (4/5) > >>

KvP:
I don't think the character models are customizable, unfortunately. And the VA for the female character is treated digitally, I think - it's supposed to be somewhat off-putting, given that she's essentially an alien.

Orbert:
Wait, there was Dungeon Siege, and then Legends of Aranna, but I thought Aranna was the expansion to Dungeon Siege, not Dungeon Siege 2.  Or was there a proper DS2 that I missed and we're really on DS3 now?

KvP:
There was a DS2, and it was execrable

Orbert:
Thanks.  Not sure what that word means, but it doesn't sound good.

LTK:
The demo hit Steam today. First impression? The menu system is incredibly convoluted. I mean, wow. To equip an item, you need to open the character screen with C, press 'equips', press the appropriate tab, then click on the item to equip it. Your armor consists of pauldrons, vambraces, greaves, and a cuirass. Yeah... It might be an interesting change from the basic chestplate-gloves-boots formula, but I don't see the point, really. To get back into the game from this point you need to press Escape three times. This... you don't do this in a game focused on loot! Fuck!

Then there's the character building. Leveling up gives you points for Talents (10 available), Abilities (9 available) and Proficiencies which modify your abilities (2 per ability). And these three possibilities are in three goddamn seperate windows with iconography so big you'd think they're catering to the nearly-blind.

I'd give some thoughts on the combat as well but it seems the demo is unable to save your progress when you quit mid-game. So I'm done with this.
