Dungeon Siege Expansion Showcased

Thanks to several readers for pointing to the press release announcing Dungeon Siege: Legends of Aranna, the official expansion pack to Gas Powered Games' popular PC FRPG. There's also an interview at IGN PC which offers more details on this Mad Doc co-developed expansion, promising "..a completely new series of fabulous locations.. UI enhancements, new monsters and a massive amount of new stuff throughout the game." Meanwhile, the original Dungeon Siege is still proving popular with fans and mod makers, with the Copperhead sci-fi total conversion a current favorite.

As opposed to a Sci-Fi Role-Playing Game perhaps?

If they would completely replace multiplayer with low-lag, story-driven, and continuous multiplayer mode, where you could save your stats and stuff, maybe people would be drawn in.

On the positive side, the original game is now priced under $20, and there is extensive information for modding on the official site which was available before release. It's pretty impressive for a Microsoft-ware to encourage mods and not lock you out of everything.
