Dungeon Siege

Initial impressions were good, but I played for a while yesterday and now I'm not so sure. There are some excellent aspects, but overall it feels a bit shallow. I like having a party, but there isn't enough specialisation. Everything's a bit simple and basic.

Everybody did seem to be raving about it when it came out, not entirely sure why. Perhaps it's better as an introduction to this sort of game, but I think I'd prefer something more complex with respect to character development. I mean it's supposedly targetting the middle ground between Diablo II and Baldur's Gate, but characters are more interesting in both of those.

I'll keep playing it I guess, but I'll probably look to playing one of the AD&D based games afterwards.
