Basically you set up your initial character and follow a path in the game that even has signs that say "go this way" until you complete the game. At first I really liked this game, but as I kept playing the more bored I became.

I agree. I think if DS had actual SKILLS like d2 it would be a lot more fun. Even as Dungeon Siege accelerates past Diablo 2 in graphics and 3D, it takes us back to the days of D1 as far as gameplay and point/click (no physical fighting skills) go. :(

I played the demo for 2 hours right when I got home...it was really fun...when school is over...I'll probably buy it...I love how you can switch from meele weapons to arial weapons so quickly...right now my dude uses a combo of hand to hand and arial weapons...this game is really fun...however I think controlling the other characters sort of sucks because they won't use potions themselves and do smart things...

Yeah Dungeon seige is a Dumbed down better looking version of Diablo but Im playing it and I like it, I tried multiplayer a bit with a few of my friends and that is kind of fun, Having a whole new world in multiplayer is great ,plus they are releasing another one soon by more profesional mapmakers thats suposed to be something like 50% more dungeon than wilderness.

As for the reason it was a dumbed down game, I think they were going for a very wide market, I mean the game will please people that are not into gaming because its easy and It will almost please Intermediate gamers but as for us Hardcores: were expecting something a little more deep and a little more challenging yeah but damned if the game doesn't look good hey?... so it sucked us in too. ;)

I too was drawn in by the graphics and world size. I'm half way though the game and I don't think I'll bother finishing it.

Its just to boring. The grahpics are great, the game play is pretty good but there just doesn't seem to be any draw to play it.

Mules are great until i realized that they count as a party member.

Pros
Graphics


Cons
No mules in Multi
No saved quests in multi
No way back to town other that walking

After about 5 days the game just drags and is in reality the same thing over and over. Its the larger size of the world and slower game play that still make D2/lod better. IMO.
