Dungeon Siege Expansion Showcased

Posted by simoniker on from the i-before-e-except-after-c dept.

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.

  1. FRPG? by Gunsmithy · · Score: 5, Interesting

    On the MGS website for Dungeon Siege, it seems that FRPG is a "Fantasy Role Playing Game." Isn't that kind of redundant? Most all RPGs are fantasy, except for Leisure Suit Larry. ...well, that's fantasy too, but you get my drift.

    Kids these days. They don't know the difference between classic, and just plain old.

    It was a pretty game, and it was decent, but very plain, and it got dull rather quickly. Maybe if the expansion is loaded with "80% more FUN!!!!" and "50% less Click!" I may consider it. But personally I find the Aurora (NWN) engine a lot more verstile and interesting.

    On Wall Street they say "buy low, sell high" On the pad we say, "buy high, sell high" Isn't that somehow better?
