Dungeon Siege2 storyline

[Llyranor]

I dunno, I remember getting killed in the demo because I wasn't paying attention

[Atreides]

Ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, I have one final thing I want you to consider. Ladies and gentlemen, this is Chewbacca. Chewbacca is a Wookiee from the planet Kashyyyk. But Chewbacca lives on the planet Endor. Now think about it;

Makes.  No.  Sense.

Why would a Wookiee, an eight-foot tall Wookiee, want to live on Endor, with a bunch of two-foot tall Ewoks?

Makes.  No.  Sense.

But more important, you have to ask yourself: What does this have to do with this case? Nothing. Ladies and gentlemen, it has nothing to do with this case!

Makes.  No.  Sense.

Look at me. I'm a lawyer defending a major record company, and I'm talkin' about Chewbacca! Does that make sense? Ladies and gentlemen, I am not making any sense!

Makes.  No.  Sense.

And so you have to remember, when you're in that jury room deliberatin' and conjugatin' the Emancipation Proclamation, [approaches and softens] does it make sense? No! Ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, it

Makes.  No.  Sense.

If Chewbacca lives on Endor, you must acquit! The defense rests.

[Tigranes]

DR, you think RPGs don't do strategic combat because you eschew all valid strategical considerations. Durh.

 

Also, Chewbacca doesn't live on Endor, it's his evil twin that has betrayed him due to some speshul reasons.

[alanschu]

Chewbacca lives on Endor?

Hanharr's progeny no doubt.

I never said I stoled it.  The guy who has the amulet stoled it.  I checked his stats.  He is level 1 as well.

 

"checked his stats". Kind of difficult for an enemy only appearing in a FMV-sequence for that specific fight "

Hey, wait, you talk about Drevin now? He never stole no artifact... lol...

Really, after clicking on the gate watch the movies. Don't skip them; as you "might" loose track of the story...

 

Um.. if it's anythimng like DS1; it's *nothing* like Diablo combat. It's more 'watch your characters kill your enemies while eating popcorn' and listening to porn music'...

 

Well, it is like Diablo and not like Dungeon Siege...

 

I prefer a little strategy in my combat instead of zerging.

 

MS decided they had to cut into AI cause it made it too difficult for the common folks. With the expansion the AI they wanted to have shall be included (hopefully also for this campaign, yet nothing has been confirmed about that)

 

Neither is being suckered in for another $50...

 

A long long time ago somebody though up the

 

DEMO

 

This revolutionary invention must have slipped past Volourn though "

[Judge Hades]

"magic user may risk of friendly fire."

 

Really? When casting mass charm? Ok then..

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I am speaking of offensive spells like fireball, lightning, cloud kill, etc. Who uses charm? Most of the time it fails because of saves.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

Actually when I play wizards and such I memorize spells like Acid Arrow, Fire Arrow, magic Missile than the large area effect spells because of just that. I like percise targeting so that friendly fire does not occur.

[Judge Hades]

Then that makes even less sense then. If this other elf stoled the amulet then why the hell would the employer attack the mercenaries that he paid for if they didn't have what he wanted?

 

Makes. No. Sense.

[mr insomniac]

[Nick_i_am]

No, the mage casts slick.  The ranger shoots a fire arrow into the oil.  The fighter takes care of the burning orcs who manage to get through.

Eldar wins thread.

Wait. STOLE the amulet? He never stole no amulet. He had that one from childhood, and gave it to you (the PC) just before he died...

 

And what do you mean with attack the mercenaries because they didn't have what they wanted. As that

Makes. No. Sense

 

I repeat:

You cannot understand the storyline of a Diabolish game. Sad.

[Judge Hades]

That still makes no sense if the elf didn't want the employer to get the amulet why work for him in the first place? If I didn't want someone to get a hold of an aartifact of mine I would definitely not work for the bugger no take it with me on the job if I did. I mean, lets use a little common sense here.

Wow, being wipwned by Battlecookie is pretty sad.

I did not say "they." I said "he" as in the employer. Your reading comprehension needs work.

Well, maybe the amulet was not the artifact. Look good at the back of the temple when you enter that temple...

Valdis never was after the amulet, but after Drevin saw he was going to die he just wanted you to have it for... see storyline!

That would actually be my writing... not reading...

[Judge Hades]

If Valdis was never after the amulet then attacking his own men makes even less sense.

 

I am trying to figure out why Validis attacked his own mercs. He paid them, they fought for him, so why? What is the motivation behind the attack?

I did play the Dungeon Seige 2 demo. It was called Dungeon Seige 1.

Also the betrayals in the Bioware games made sense. Predictable but made sense.

 

And this makes sense. He really didn't want the main char to tell of his finding in his home town...

This demo is not representative for the full product...

Error message 001: This is no demo

Error message 002: They are two totally different games

I think the main question is, why is there a thread about DS2's storyline?

[Volourn]

"This demo is not representative for the full product...

Close enough for government work. Close enough for me when determining if I shall waste my $50 on a game.

 

The end.

[Hassat Hunter]

Because a RPG-veteran *cough cough cough* cannot understand it. Ofcourse it makes one wonder how he finished PS:T and Kotor2 and BG2 and such while understanding what happened there... or did he?

[mkreku]

I've played both Dungeon Siege and Dungeon Siege 2, and while Dungeon Siege was one of the worst RPG's I've ever played, Dungeon Siege 2 wasn't all bad. It was still extremely repetitive, but the story is much stronger, the combat is somewhat more tactical (and involving) and the entire game just felt more.. interesting. I'm no fan of Diablo-clones so I still didn't like Dungeon Siege 2, but not admitting that it's a step forward for the franchise is just dumb.

[Volourn]

"I still didn't like Dungeon Siege 2, but not admitting that it's a step forward for the franchise is just dumb."

 

When did I say it wasn't?

 

Just because it's 'improved' from DS1 doesn't mean it's worth risking MY dollars on it. And, no amount of sucking up from people who WANT me to waste my dollars on a crap series is gonna change that.
