Nostalgia is a funny thing - once the rose-tinted glasses are removed one is inevitably disappointed with the result. I suppose one can put this down to ones tastes getting more refined as one ages and a classic example of this is going back to old childhood movies that delighted and thrilled as a youngster only to be rewatched as an adult and then wondering what on earth all the fuss was about.

For the most part Dungeon Siege holds up pretty well though when gazing upon it with modern eyes. I don't remember being particularly disappointed the way the game unfolded when I played it the first time around 12 years ago but 12 years later I couldn't help but feel that the game somewhat looses its focus about halfway through the campaign. Being much older now I suppose this is to be expected somewhat.

Dungeon Siege sees you take control of a motley band of adventurers task to eliminate yet another clichéd fantasy trope - an uprising - of goblins in the Kingdom of Ebb. The game still holds up relatively well though considering its age and the first half is a tense filled journey but alas the same can't be said for the latter part as the game winds down to a rather limp and weak ending.

But as far as titles go that are shrouded in the fog of nostalgia, Dungeon Siege is still a relatively rocking good time to re-experience.

This game is wonderful. Released back in 2002, I learned about this game through a cousin of mine, and I fell in love with the game. Spending well over 500 hours into its singleplayer and online multiplayer (now defunct -- LAN works great though), I never realized how much I would come to miss this game.

A classic dungeon crawler where you're not limited by classes or levels. You can be whatever you want, a pure melee character, an archer, a mage, a combination of two, or all of the above. You have the ability to choose how you level up your skills. Instead of levels, there's strength, dexterity, and intelligence. These act as your levels towards what you want to use in combat, and progressively increase through combat. This is different from the timeless classic of Diablo 2, however has a great leveling system that's sure to let you play however you'd like. The storyline is wonderful, and with co-op multiplayer, it adds on more difficulty so your not running around finding too easy.

Unfortunately, this doesn't come included with Dungeon Siege: Legends of Aranna, but if you happen to have a copy, you can install it over Steam's installation (plus with a little renaming of game executables) and be able to play it through Steam.

One of the downsides is that since its been over 11 years that Dungeon Siege has been released, multiplayer is now defunct. In Dungeon Siege, you'll find that the Multiplayer button gives you the message "Disabled". Is all hope lost? Of course not. By adding the launch parameter "zonematch=true" to your game, you can access multiplayer LAN and direct connection games without the use of warez, cracks, or patches. Its a shame that you need to bypass that message just for direct and LAN capabilities, but it gets the job done, and it still works perfectly.

I would definitely recommend this game for anyone who's a fan of dungeon crawlers, especially playing them with friends, and for those who are looking to try something new. It's not hard to get the hang of, but it won't get too easy on you either.

If it weren't for the persistent glitch that doesn't alllow me to backtrack because it traps me when I push forward in my game, I would have happily finished with epicness at every turn! I had it all figured out too and I also knew where to farm money and epic items! Oh well... that's not the games fault though. For what it's worth, I would still recommend this game to everyone; just don't run it in a high tech computer haha Now I'm amped to play the sequel, which was actually the first game I played that was Dungeon Siege!

Great RPG that CAN be played co-op if you put in launch options zonematch=true Then enjoy the adventure with your other local farmers!
