Oh Microsoft bought the hype on this game

Although I agree that the camera control can be a pain in any 3D game, I have to disagree with Atrocities' overall conclusion. Dungeon Siege does everything right on the interface. If you want to lock the camera in a particular position, you can. There are tons of options to suit the interface to your likings. The only problem with locking the camera is that you may not see a lever or other important items if it is on the backside of a wall. However, the "locked" camera only applies to mouse movement, so you can use the arrow keys to look around, then put it back and continue on. And trust me, you want to look around.

The wierdest thing about Dungeon Siege is the feel of the game during multiplayer. It is totally different than playing single player, and not necessarily in a good way. In Diablo series and Darkstone, the multiplayer had the same feeling of accomplishment as single player mode. In Dungeon Siege, I felt like it was a competition between players to see who could kill the most monsters. For this reason, I actually like playing the single player campaign more than multiplayer.

I like the game, and enjoy playing it. I must admit that my two nephews love it. They seem to understand how to control the camera better than I.

I think that if they enjoy it, then it was worth the money. I must admit that the game graphics are wonderous.

go here and read.

The Baldur's gate and Icewind dale are fantastic.

I have been playing BG2 for 100 hours now and I am no were close to finishing it. I hear it takes about 250 hours.

The first one took about 80 hours. The writters are first rate. The NPC's will make you laugh your A%% off.

Evil swords that say. 'You know when the party falls asleep. You and I can .... kill kill kill."
The party members even fight.

You have to check them out. But I must warn you that these games should only be played in the winter. Because you will miss the summer.

You can pick up the first part of BG for about 10 dollars. with the expansion pack. Icewind Dale would be around the same price.

BG2 would be about 30 dollars.
