I used to be a part of that community. We figured out how to use Dwarfs and other races as playable characters, turned multiplayer into single player and other stuff like that. Those were the days, aye... Jussi

I guess the original Dungeon Siege will remain one of a kind jewel in the sand of RPG's. I'd sure love to buy a digital copy of it to play on my netbook, unfortunately it's only sold bundled with DSII and III. Jussi

...but it's not a role playing game where you lead a certain role, it's a role playing game where you play a certain role. It's easier to get more attached to your character when the character is you. Well, it might be a good game anyway. I sure enjoyed playing games like Soldier of Fortune and Project IGI, eventhough I could not play as myself. To me it all comes down to whether or not I feel at home with the controls. Jussi

They should've just called it The Kingdom of Ehb or something like that. Calling it Dungeon Siege and leaving out the core elements of the original gameplay is absurd. Jussi

Well original Dungeon Siege and most Command and Conquer games are really the only ones I've played that way... Everything else needs two hands most of the time. I can have a quick sip during straights when I play racing games (I use arrow keys for acceleration and steering, but use brakes with my left hand) and it's also possible in FSP games, which I play with mouse (free look enabled, button one attack, button two forward and wheel click open/use). I think I play games this way, because I am super right handed, my left hand is only good for simple tasks like having a drink or pressing the button for simple actions like jump, duck, brake and so on...

Only 4 pre-made characters to choose from, no party and no pack mule... How can they call this game Dungeon Siege? Jussi

OMG, a Dungeon Siege where you can't have your own character? Jussi

I'd have to disagree. Point and click works well, and is DS consistent. Using an FPS style control system would not be a good idea. Depending on the camera angles\how it (WASD style control) was implemented it might even be really old school - old school as in DOS generation side scrolling. Mouse precision's better. As for keys to block and attack, is this a console fighting game Street Fighter etc, or PC's DS? If the game does not have the same edge tracking camera and mouse controls as first DS, I ain't gonna buy it. I already wasted my money on one game with poor controls (Dragon Age Origins). I want to be able to play the game with just the mouse, so I can sit back have a beverage and relax while I'm playing. Jussi

No demo = no sale Dragon Age Origins was a huge disappointment to me. The only RPG I ever truly loved was the first Dungeon Siege and it's expansions. It was so easy to play with just the mouse. DAO did not have same sort edge tracking camera and the controls were awkward to me. Yes demo = possibility of a sale Jussi
