TEDIOUS
I assume that I, like most folks who play computer games do so for fun. This game is really no fun at all which is a shame since it does have some good ideas. Unfotunately, these are completely spoiled by the tedium of much of the game. First of all, the camera perspective swings wildly as if it were being contrlled by a monkey on LSD. No fun. This camera stuff makes it difficult to focus on the enemies who are after you. Which brings up another point. You are always surrounded by foes who have at least twice the amount of life that you do and there are always many more of them so the only tactic you can use is hit and run over and over and over and.... No fun. Then there are lots of complex puzzles which are extremely difficult and really make the game drag. For me, I like games that flow, not ones which require lots of tedious problem solving. I have problems in my own life which I MUST solve, I do not want more riddles when I am trying to have fun. I found this aspect of the game so irritating that I turned to an on-line guide just to get through it. No fun. But for me, the worst feature of the game is the length of time it takes to fight some battles. I kid you not, one battle took
four hours to complete and I got no credit in terms of experience for it. No battle in a game should take more than half an hour let alone four. This was so tedious that when I could no longer stand it, I saved the game and went on with my life until I could resume the tedium. Much to my dismay I foung that when I returned, I had to begin all over again. Although I was eventually able to finish, I was done with this game. No fun. The only reason I gave this tedium any stars at all is due to the beautiful graphics and the interesting character choices. None of this, however makes up for the tedium and slow pace of this game. I found it frustrating and irritating, not fun.

Cool
Consternation with inventory. Despite this one of the best I've ever played. I'm not an adventure FPS fan in general. But, I found this great fun. Past adventure games seamed too determinstic. I don't feel that here /c one can create a chara. beyond normal D@D type (but, determined nonetheless). Superior graphics @ just cool monsters. Inventory bites but, a superior game. I liked it!

Nice Sequel
Haven't reached into the expansion pack of the game yet, but I'm really enjoying it. If you're a fan of the original Dungeon Siege game, this is a pretty good continuation of it.

Disappointing
The game in itself is not too bad, an average game, I would say. Oblivion 4 is MUCH better. What is truly disappointing is the expansion pack, I have never been able to make it work, the game shuts down each time I try to launch the expansion pack.

Unhappy with this Game
I was not told nor was I able to read anything about by installing the game it would erase all my DS-II characters. I have uninstalled the game and thinking very hard on selling it to some other poor sap. How ever it was delived on time and in good shape and that's the best part of the game.
