Game scheduled for release Q3 of 2001

----------------------------------------

Dungeon Siege pushes the envelope of role-playing games with fully animated 3D characters, over-the-top battles, intense special effects and awe-inspiring vertical landscapes. With true 3D environments, an advanced particle system for spells and dungeons that can extend in three dimensions, Dungeon Siege keeps the player focused on the action by providing tools that simplify party combat and management with a broad array of familiar game controls such as drag select, way points and formations.

Players can customize their party to include up to eight characters. There are no rules or restrictions, and the player can have any combination of fighters, archers and magic users. Characters join your party as they journey throughout the world - some are hired, others are rescued, and some are brought back from beyond the grave. Lead your party into epic battles against a range of enemies - from marauding hordes to monsters of a scale never before seen in a fantasy role-playing game.

Dungeon Siege is engaging yet easy to understand, action-packed yet easy to control, deep and involving yet quick to learn. The skill-based character system plunges you almost immediately into the action, where your skills develop real-time. If treasure is more your focus, grab a pack mule or two. Never again worry about passing on that armor you found because you didn't have enough space.

Dungeon Siege will support up to eight players via a local area network (LAN) or through the built-in matchmaking server available inside the game. You can take part in both "short game" multiplayer experiences such as 'capture the castle' and the more traditional "campaign" style of play.

The setting of Dungeon Siege is one gigantic, continuous world where you can seamlessly journey from the highest mountain to the deepest dungeon without ever having to see a loading screen. Discovering fantastic locations to explore - strange and mysterious dungeons, enormous castles and secret underground lairs - you become immersed in the fantasy of the surrounding world.

The proprietary Siege Editor in Dungeon Siege gives you the freedom to rework nearly every aspect of the game, making Dungeon Siege not only a game, but also a role-playing platform for those who want to create their own characters, spells, dungeons and even entire worlds. You can post these user-created files to the Web, making them available for anyone to download and explore, or play as a multiplayer game.

Another lure for the newbie RPG gamer....

This game, form what I have seen and read, has nothing special about it. You cannot choose what character you start off with, just your gender. The only classes you can choose from are fighter, archer, and mage. You can play online, but players can make their own maps thus opening the possibility of game makers buffing up their own character to no end and slaughtering everyone else... This game also promises to be very versatile when it comes to character classes... you can be a fighter and a mage and an archer at the same time... this sort of ruins the overall experience in my opinion. I cannot even believe the other post of this game rating it 5 stars and going by nothing more than the hype on the official site....

Why give three stars to a five star game?

As mentioned, this game takes away all the disadvantages and takes all the advantages of a RPG, thus making this a great RPG.
...you don't pick your own class at the beginning, as the game progresses, the weapons you choose to use, determine the skills you will develop. There is enough flexibility here that you can turn one class into another during the game.
Without a loading screen, you can really be hooked into the game without interruptions, which always feels like a 'party poper' when you are really into the game.
Other RPGs restict camera movement, but not on this games, it lets player have total control over the camera (can't look up the sky though), zooming in and out.
I haven't played this game yet (game is not out yet!), these are just my first impressions of the game. If everything said in the game is done right, this game can really shine.

All that's needed to be said has been, but I thought I should add that you don't chose classes, whatever you use most gets the skill points or levels or what-have-you. It's the main competitor to Neverwinter Nights (being released later me thinks.) Fantastic graphics and probably sure to attract as many experienced rpg'ers as 'n00bs' with the ability to have a party of people with an AI you choose... this includes having one full of archers or warriors or whatever you chose. Also, thanks to advanced AI and mapping it's possible to plan out attacks from a hill with arrows or use a narrow walkway to your advantage with ranged attacks. Truly a new-age blend between Baldur's Gate and Diablo, best for those who found Diablo too tiring or BG too slow.
