Dungeon Siege: LOA
Date of Review: Feb 5, 2005
The Bottom Line: Buy this game. It is because of this game, that I have longed for more of the same type, and I can't stop playing. :D
This is indeed, one of my new favorite games. When I first saw this game on the shelf at Wal-Mart, all I could think was "Why on Earth, would anyone buy this game?" Now I know.
The first game was fun, but the expansion is so much better.
You start out by creating your character, choosing either male or female, and then their clothes/skin tone/face type/hair type, etc. from the following menu, based on the gender of your character.
Then (and this is from LOA, since I've not played 'DS' in sometime now), you start out in the world. Run around, and test our your controls, moving the screen around, whatever you want. Talk to people, kill things, and complete missions.
If you can handle those 3 things, you are set. ;)
You can have a party of up to 7 I think it was, use pack mules, or the newer 2 legged ones that attack (unlike the pack mules). You can be a swordsman, and mainly work on your strength; a wizard, and work on your intelligence; or an archer, and work on your Dex. Or, if you want, you can be all 3. It does not matter. You can be working on all 3, and have people in your party set up for certain jobs, such as archer/mage, etc. This game has alot of open-minded'ness ;P, thus you can have many many combinations.
Don't like someone in your party? Kick em out! :D The people in your party are completely up to you.
Also, you can play this game online, or with friends across a LAN.
I suggest you atleast try this game, before deciding to buy it. My brother himself, said he hates these types of games, but after 5 minutes of playing, he didn't want to stop. O_o
Now, Dungeon Siege 2...anyone wanna lend me 50$? :P
