Adventurers Called to Arms as Dungeon Siege II Goes Gold

Microsoft Game Studios and Gas Powered Games today announced that Dungeon Siege II, the ambitious sequel to Chris Taylor's best-selling,
award-winning action role-playing game (RPG) Dungeon Siege, has gone gold. Gamers will once again journey to the beautiful fantasy land of
Aranna on August 16, 2005, when Dungeon Siege II charges onto store shelves with a suggested retail price of $49.99.

Dungeon Siege II casts players into a land deeply scarred by civil war, where they will lead an elite battle party against a vicious marauder hell-bent on bringing the world under his control, no matter the cost. Dungeon Siege II raises the bar for action-RPGs by introducing a deeper storyline, an extensive quest system and a new AI system creating more challenging and cunning foes.

Developed exclusively for Windows XP, Dungeon Siege II promises to
delight RPG fans with a cutting-edge 3D engine, intense real-time combat against monstrous foes and cooperative multiplayer support. Visit the official Dungeon Siege II website at http://www.dungeonsiege.com, then pre-order the game at select retailers and receive a bonus Dungeon Siege II comic book!


Even though I got bored of the first one and never finished it, it still gave me hours of fun playtime - and if this game is coop like GuildWars, it should be hella fun Very Happy Peace,

Yeah the beta was odd, but then again i know why i didnt like it that much, because it just threw you in an enviroment and story just to test it, you had no idea why you were there, who you were or what you were supposed to do. SP from the beginning for teh win!! shit now i must hurry up and finish NWN+exps reaaaaaal quick, ookay no sleep tonight Sad( Very HappyVery Happy:Very Happy

YES! But this time we get character development (!) Shocked Care for your char, feed your Fire Elemental weapons & armour & watch him grow .... in fact its like playing The Sims .... but better ! Laughing Free Arana from an *Ancient Evil* <gasp> make new friends, listen to more cheesey dialogue as your party ventures forth & SavEs ThE WOrlD. The ending has been totally redone to reflect the Sequel Prequel.
This time there is <drum roll> spangly weapons that shimmer & glimmer their arcane Magiks. Be A Hero for a Day - hit a monster over the head with *The Sword of BigNess +1 Gillion*. All this & more could be yours for *just* $49.99 Razz

Hee hee well who wants to be serious in this FUBAR'd world anyhowz? Got to say I liked the original DS, though plot & ending were crapolio. The expansion was a real letdown. Here's hoping Chris Taylor has infused DS2 with his Magik PixieDust Surprised Got to wait like another 3 bleeding weeks for this (!) Sad

I wouldn't woory about this - same happened with C&C Generals with the beta build - Command & Conquer Generals Closed BETA MP Test (c) Westwood. Grafix sucked but the final game was a good looking RTS. I can't believe GPG will release a crap looking game (!) Shocked

Yeah, there are alot of betas that DONT have the maximum textures and such, either because they arent completely completed and optimized yet, or because they dont want to make the beta too big for the general public.
Look at every single Unreal Tournament demo (even a demo), only had Medium textures and such due to keeping filesizes low.

what you are joking right icewindale two dont touch bg1/2....... icewind dale was a dumbed down version of the other two.... it was far easier... shorter and was far more hack and slash and much less story.

although i did love icewind dale 2 i am being harsh because bg2 was the most incredible game and post black isle games didnt come close to being as good as it.
