Yeah, it's him. Ahh good, also even though I love his voice acting, I feel like he fits the role of Gann-of-Dreams better.

I kept thinking Gann-of-Dreams from NWN2: Mask of the Betrayer. Gonna check if that is true.

I compared it to my all times favorite games, because those are the games I know, I am not a big fan of the Action RPG genre, have only really played diablo(all of them) and DS1(as a kid), and against those this game would easily score 10/10 which itsn't saying much.

Its simple you play for great story/gameplay and not graphics, then you'll have a blast ^^

There are keybinds; if there weren't any keybinds you wouldn't even be using the keyboard. There being no custom keybinds is the issue :D ba dum tsss

My list is based on the overall game, and all of them are games I have played within the last year(played again rather). Also in term of combat Baldurs gate 2 and NWN2 was way better.

Reason why I brought this game: Unlike many of you, the reason why I brought this game is because: I am a huge fan of Obsidian for making Neverwinter Night 2(best game ever created, just below Baldurs Gate 2). Now I did play the first Dungeon Siege as a kid(12 years old) and tbh it was boring even then and I'd go play Diablo any day over that. So when I saw a Dungeon Siege 3 I was like meh until I saw Obsidian as developer which then peaked my interest. The combat First of all I played this game on PC and I want to say to all you nubs who are whining about the controls, this is a case of L2P. I played this on Hard and I can honestly say that it was much more rewarding than beating Witcher 2 on Hard. The mechanics of auto attack gives you focus, and focus gives you power, which you can use to heal/shield/empower yourself was brilliant and very fun to execute properly in a battle or boss fight. I loved the fact that when I first attempted a boss fight it would seem impossible but after a try or to I would begin to learn the fight and eventually it all came down to executing. In other words the gameplay has depth which you don't see often nowadays. The Story Now while the story was interesting and the characters enjoyable, it did bear the burden of being a crappy action RPG and not a true RPG which was very noticeable, for instance I would have loved some more RPGish quests and perhaps some puzzle but I guess that is the price you pay for being an action RPG and not even the might of obsidian can undo that(even thought it was a pretty good attempt). But in all honestly the story was pretty good and the only negative things I can say about are things that appear because it is an action RPG. Graphics: The graphics certainly weren't witcher 2 but I did not expect that either, the graphic was pretty good and the use of focus lens did a good job of making the graphics look prettier than they in actuality did. However lets not kid ourself either the game looks pretty good and this especially due to the fact that is has a nice art-style. Did it hold up as a RPG: In short no, however It did a good attempt at it, for instance your companions had influence(just like in NWN2) which unlike NWN2 didn't seem to do much. And you also had choice for instance I chose to slay the first of the Archon witches something that haunted me later in the game. However there were no NPC chat without a quest attached to it, which is a huge RPG negative. But I didn't matter too much to me as I wasn't expecting it either. What I hated that deserves special mentioning: Saving, ♥♥♥♥ing saving why wth use checkpoint based saved, doesn't the fagbox come with memory able to save the game... No keybinds... WHY?!?!?!?! Camera not able to rotate up and down >< Last comment: One thing that worried me when I brought this game was that it would be like all other Obsidian games and be released riddled with bugs, to my great relief it did not and I only had one bug, which were that the game would sometimes say save corrupted when I had just died and pressed continue but this was easily solved by just reloading the same save and the game would load without a problem. This game was all that imagine when I hear the word Action RPG, and not the piece of ♥♥♥♥ DS1 where RPG is only based upon that you have spells, items and you level up. If you like TRUE action RPGs and want a challenge then this game is for you. The game itself was wonderful blast of about 18.5 hours game-play. It wasn't NWN2 by any stretch. Yet it was still better than dragon age 2 as that game left me very disappointed. So to sum it up the game is well worth your money My score for the: I give the game 6/10, now this score is based relative to the best games ever created so though it may seem low this is only due to the fact that it is competing against BG2, NWN2 and the likes. Actually here is a full list of games and my score for them: 10 - Baldurs Gate 2 9 - Neverwinter Night 2 8.5 - Dragon Age 8.5 - The Witcher 2 8 - Mass Effect 1 8 - Placescape: Torment 7.5 - Mass Effect 2 7 - Neverwinter Night 1 7 - Alpha Protocol 7 - Jade Empire 6 - Dungeon Siege 3 5 - Dragon Age 2 4 - The Witcher 1 PS: I have also posted my review on steam dungeon siege 3 forum page.
