It was a horrible review by a horrible reviewer. Have you read it? Care to elaborate? Yes. To name two very visible points: She starts off by insisting DSIII has absolutly no story connection to previous Dungeon Siege Games. ...Except maybe, 10th Legion, Empire of the stores, Majority of the cast are descendants of the original Dungeon Siege cast etc. It couldn't possible be MORE build up on previous DS games/lore. Secondly she says that there are only 6 skills.... while showing off a screenshot that portrays 9. Yeah.... Not to mention that the entire article was in general horrible written.

Where is that Nickname from?

Does that mean that now with the Demo and Reviews coming out you guys can talk more freely about the game?

Was it GameStar of PC Games? Because I just read the GameStar review... Why have you not started a new topic for reviews? Both You can start it. I'm a little bound since its technically not my subscription. But you can start it. Gamestars was typically horrible though. It contains so much information that is just wrong.

Sure, why not? Heavy Rain & LA Noire are two examples of story-driven console games that did or are doing alright. I don't think any of these got the hype for beeing storydriven.

Alex Summers. Cyclops brother. Edit: (I haven't seen the trailer but it sounds like him)

Congratz I think its a great idea to have more programmers be project directors. Looking at DSIII it seems to help keep the polish up.

Looking at the comments I really like that people seem to get some sort of Demon Souls Vibe from it.

Eurogamer.cz has a video preview http://www.eurogamer.cz/videos/dungeon-sie...view-eurogameru

That was a nice read

A review already? One month before the game actually gets out of the door (can someone remind how soon the first DA2 review appeared?). Do you have a buddy that works at a game magazine? I thought it was pretty obvious that if DS3 sold well, we could see DLC or expansions. Didn't Feargus or someone else said that DS3's engine was specifically made so that DLC could be added rather easily? 1. There seems to be no Review Embargo and the magazine will be out on the 25th. Also till then I keep my mouth shut. 2. Yep.

*sigh* I hope that doesn't mean that DSIII suffers from the KOTOR2-syndrome. Got my PM? Also as far as I understood it wasn't because of open plot threads but because of things that were happening in the slides that hinted to it.

Also having seen a review of DSIII. The ending slides hint at further games. All of that information together means that a speculative DSIV would be done by Obsidian if DSIII sells well. Otherwise the chances aren't high that GPG would go back to it considering AOEO and their future RTS games so another company would do it.

For christs sake. Read the interview EXACTLY and don't just assume things. (Sorry for the harsh words) No they didn't oversee development. Obsidian sent Taylor their design docs and he signed off on them and Taylor/GPG provided them with Lore stuff. Thats it. They didn't oversee anything but still signed off on what Obs wanted to do. A consultant position. And he was happy with what they did. Meaning he wants to focus on RTS games.

You mean the previewer? ..... I don't really think I want to know. Knowing her from many past gamestar articles over the year..... I... don't really like her or take her opinions seriously. She doesn't say much in the article just that it was a let live/kill choice and the preview code ended there. (The preview itself is older from a previous mag) In the screenshot Rajani seems to have been manipulated, declares Anjali a "false prophet" and declears her an enemy. Edit: Also she COMPLETLY fails to mention abilities/proficencies/talents/deeds and acts like there is no charachter progression system at ALL. Which made me a little bit furious.

Interesting Interview.

Read the interview I posted. It has a pretty good description of GPG/Chris Taylors role in DSIII.

Can you make a summary of the article?

Standard Questions but entertaining to watch and well edited. Good Job on the answers Feargus.

Reminds me of a belly dancer. Maybe that was the intention with the oriental look?

GPG is private (they also worked with THQ/SEGA/Square Enix) and THEY owned the Dungeon Siege trademark. They sold it to Square Enix (though I don't know if the trademark went around to other publishers first) and Chris Taylor pretty much stated they now want to focus on Strategy titles. Also Taylor seems pretty happy with Obsidian developing them. http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2010/09/14...ungeon-siege-3/

I'd say other people would switch these two words. Opinions!
