Mysterious. At least this confirms that Obsidian has no intention to join a publisher completly. (Bethesda rumors)

oO Anyway A little unrelated but someone uploaded a youtube version of the 4players video Edit: Also I'm pretty sure big boobs girl is the gunslinger.

MMO what? oO

The shape is now changed and is showing off a guy who holds a snowglobe or something in his hand. http://www.dungeonsiege.com/characters.php

Probably not. Don't forget these four are probably meant to be only the main charachters you can choose from.

I'd say it has to be a fast meele fighter.

Okay Obsidian, who wrote that ? I'd guess Ziets. The timeline for sure and this also looks like him.

We knew that since a while. Makes sense, considering DS's box art. Why, was that already in DS2?

What movie ....

Go exploring http://www.dungeonsiege.com Edit: Female gunslinger as good as confirmed.

No wait. Doesn't surprise me that much.

Their current plan is to keep quiet about it (like several previewers said). We'll get more information later.

WOW That looks sweet.

Should we consider this as 'proof' that there will be only four classes/characters in the game, or should we wait for more previews? It's vague. But yeah. Little disappointing. Then again. Diablo II had only one more at release. How many does III have by the way?

Nevermind, read you wrong.

Really (as always) love the 4players preview.

Does Jim Sterling's trashing of Alpha Protocol have anything to do with this? Nope. It's their entire site. They were ok when they began "just" as a troll website. But they got increasingly worse. And Jim Sterling himself. Well, he's the single worst video game journalist and only out to get as much attention as possible. Which is quite an accomplishment. And that was already this way before AP was released. My personal hate with Destructoid goes back to early 2009.

We don't even know if that is the final or only way co-op works anyway. I'm thinking Secret of Mana co-op type for offline. Let me give you an example: -I'm playing the game on my own. Recruiting a Party member(Archon Mage). I have played enough to reach level 5 with my characters. -My brother enters the room and asks if he can join in on the fun. He will be controlling the Archon Mage (lvl5). We play for two hours and we are now level 10. We can both equip our characters with dropped loot. But wait, my brother has soccer practice and needs to leave. I continue the game without him. -I played from level 10-15 on my own. -Bro comes back from practice, picks up controller and is now controlling level 15 Archon Mage. This mode would be a good way to introduce a casual player to the game. I also think we will have the usual 2 player co-op a la Champions of Norrath & BG: Dark Alliance. Speculation? Yes. Yeah. thats what I'm expecting too.At least for offline co-op.

What AP truly has is the most fluent dialog in any rpg ever while still offering choices in said dialog. Impressive ones even.

We don't even know if that is the final or only way co-op works anyway.

1. ARPG fold? What? Its clearly focused on combat. Multiple previewers have said that and a few were disappoonted there wasn't more to it in the preview build. Furthermore shown dialogs so far were well written but not complex. It also clearly goes the way of the old Dark Alliance games. 2. Why facepalm? It's actually true. The main charachters silent lines are way less than the spoken ones of the NPC's. The majority of a big script was spoken. Which lead to reused voice actors. There it should have been more text only lines.

How many good films have been completely serious? Serious is overrated. Especially if you go the ridiculus way. In gaming Heavy Rain is a recent example. At least be self aware about it.

This years Gamebanshee award loved Obsidian in the narrative category with AP scoring First and New Vegas second http://www.gamebanshee.com/editorials/1013...-year-2010.html

Unless it's a Hack n Slash, the amount of dialogue is important. But it's just not dialogue: But it IS a Hack n Slash if you didn't get the memo. The focus is on co-op and combat. Also F:NV is a bad example. There is more dialouge spoken than written. Which in turn wasn't that good for the game.
