TBH, from what I've seen/read I'm not sure this would work. For example Lucas' blade dash could easily destroy waves without him being touched. Now (custom?) boss waves on the other hand.. You mix them up like in the campaign. Have a couple of ranged enemies and a handful of close quarters enemies.

Metacritic sucks anyways. I don't think most of the european magazines even post their scores there. At least couldn't see any German or Finnish scores there for DS3. I am in total agreement. Dungeon Siege 3 is a great title, it looks great (the dungeons are fantastic), it plays like a dream (with a controller). While it might be shorter than some other RPGs, it certainly keeps your attention all the way to the end. I never got bored with DS3, not once. So, I'm looking forward to what's coming our way now that the sales have done well!

I guess you're right. The game is awesome, though. Guess I'm just being impatient!

There haven't been any comments for a while now. And, like I said, since the NA release. The sales will likely determine if the game is worth developing further content for.

With this one. I think reworking the multiplayer would be better suited to a sequel where there is more development time and testing. To rework the multiplayer/camera issues would probably mean recoding the rest of the game to fit around it, and that's probably not likely. DLC, though. There are a lot of features that people would like to see, and these have their own threads so I won't post them again.

Hi, I was wondering if someone from Obsidian would be willing to let us know how DS3's future is looking, now it's been released in NA. Can we expect any DLC's or patches to fix the camera issues etc? I'm not trying to be pushy, but I am quite curious as to what the dev team are making of the comments and issues raised in the forum. Cheers.

- An arena, with waves of monsters and loot. - A few more dungeons - Some new abilities

Agreed. The companion AI can be very stupid as far as protecting themselves and staying out of damaging auras goes. This makes some of the later Glitterdelve missions ridiculously hard. Aside from this issue, the AI manages to cope well enough. Just need to look after themselves more.

Any change of a bug sticky for the devs to easily pick up and read? This needs patching as it is stopping me from getting an achievement, and from what you say is stopping me getting another character?

If you want to refine your char from the start shouldn't you start the mp game yourself. How do you do that? I haven't played around with MP yet, just a quick glance at the main menu, so maybe it's obvious. But from what I saw, the options were only to join someone else's game. I couldn't see how to start one for myself. Also, how do you get friends to join your game, and not allow anyone not on your friends list to join? XBox360 version here. Press start and select multiplayer. Then select private game. This will only allow invited players to join your game. This is the only way to limit the amount of players in your game. Two players is a lot easier to get used to than four players.

Very true. Just an interesting design choice for me. Dungeon Siege 3 in no way feels hurried or unfinished, so this to me just seems like an actual design choice. I'd much rather them be able to bring their gear or at least once they have an avatar in my world, have the loot drops enable them to get geared to a decent level fairly quickly. But as it stands the host character continues to get loads of blue and green drops, and the off character gets crap. Even after my friend left my world, the game resumed dropping lots of stuff for Anjali not the Katarina that was still following me. Just a bit weird, I hope they can patch it to smooth it out a bit. Just these couple things are holding DS3 from being a near flawless game to me and fully enjoying the coop experience. I could even forgo all camera changes if you would just adjust the mp loot issues. I'm not trying to turn this into Diablo, but I don't want my friends following me around as half-effective tagalongs. I've found that loot drops favour the host, and the secondary player doesn't get much at all.

Yep, so it's important to get empowered versions of your abilities early on. Especially the healing ones, that way you can heal your companion as well.

Thank you for understanding me, and in fact making my point. I agree that as time goes on and sequels and re-makes get made that there is a natural evolution that occurs, and should occur to keep up with new technology and breath new life into old ideas or games. Now if DS3 had come out and had maybe the core system at the heart of the game and then they had just built upon what was already there like they did with DS2 then I would be all for it. DS3 didnt even have a point and click option, let alone anything that came out of the original games. These are things that shouldnt be sacrificed. Even if it needed a revamped control system to move on with the times? DS1 and DS2 practically played theselves. There's some real strategy and challenge in DS3. On the flipside, I can see why some PC fans are annoyed by what is obviously a made-for-console game.

There's a patch on the way dude.

I had this when I started playing too. Check the aptly titled 'help' section in the game. On console it's on the pause menu. Everything is covered there.

Fingers crossed for the next couple of weeks.

The PS3 version has an image of the specific character in the background of each piece; I would assume it is the same for you poor 360 owners? The PC version only has those show up when you have the chr. with you as your companion ... or when you first meet them at least, maybe, not sure. They were all blank at the start for me. Yep, they only appear when the character joins the quest.

Not a fan of Dungeon Siege 3, then? I quite like it, and I think that in few ways, it's better than the previous games. It's a different spin on it, sure. But it feels more modern and more challenging.

I've tried going up to the cell door and activating it. It just takes me back to talking with the automaton.

Some of the loot is named the same, but has different stats. There's not a massive difference in them, but they do vary.

Okay, so I've tried making all decisions, bear in mind that I haven't even seen the Krug. No cutscene triggers when I ask to speak to him. Everything I do loops back to the start. Decisions do not advance the quest. my memory may be wrong. after the automaton tells you in a sarcastic way that youve got permission. try to leave the dialogue and RB/'E' on the locked doors. try them all cause i cant remember which cell it was - i think its the closest to the automaton but theres one either side of him if i recall. if that doesnt work, then youll have to reload a previous save because its a progression bug. That sucks. I have no other saves. Oh well, reason to play through again to get the perfectionist achievement.

Press the use button when over them.

Lucas for me. When you level up his Shield Pummel and Dash Attack, he kicks serious ass. Once you've got the right inventory setup, though...

Hi, does anyone know what the 4MB Xbox update did? I've just updated it and thought I'd see if anyone had any info. Cheers.
