Dungeon siege 2 (PC)

[eastyy]

Yep has quite a bit of information in it

Once you complete the game it does not end you can continue and finish of the sub quests.But i did not really feel like it .Doing quests when the main goal is already completed does not appeal to me

[Bassman]

The only game that that would have appealled to me in would have been Skies of Arcadia as there was so much I didn't find.

I was considering trying to find the Elven Ale from Act 1. Not sure whether I will bother or not.

Baldurs gate 2 ranks as my fav rpg possibly my fav game.Completed around 8 or 9 times and still found new stuff

[Bassman]

I like the original Baldur's Gate on the consoles. Admittedly hated the collapsing platforms. Went around from beyond those a few times to build up my character.

[Bassman]

The game suddenly seems to have got tougher. I am in Act 2 Chapter 6 and most of the enemies seem to be Level 30 or above. The Dark Wizard holding Evangeline was a real pain to dispose of. It took a while to say the least.

I am seriously considering an overland trek back to my currentl point to gain some more experience (it will also enable me to visit the place where the first bit of that staff is held, having got the chant for talking to ghosts.

My characters are now around Level 33. My main character is now at Level 26 Combat Magic and almost Level 26 Melee. If I can get her to Level 28 Melee then I have a good bit of armour for her to use. If I can get to that level then I can probably revert to Combat Magic for a while.

[eastyy]

Trouble is there is not really a great place to level up.So really i just spent the time looking for better items.

[Bassman]

I just go back over old ground to level up as there are always some enemies to kill off.

[eastyy]

The irony is the last section of the last stage is by far the best place to level up or get items.The sheer amount of enemies and the enemies that have the aura.Found many set items there.

Though the combat does help increasing melee skills etc all ads up in the end

[Bassman]

I want to get to Melee 28, so a long walk may be of help. Ought to gain at least another level in the process.

[Bassman]

I applied the V2.20 update to the game last night. Apparently you need to have 4Gb of free space on the disk that contains the game. Took a little while to update, but I am now running on the latest version.

Was beginning to lose interest last night but managed to finish a sidequest (the one to clear the persons name) which resulted in a new sidequest, so I will need to return to Erulan. My interest has now been rekindled.

I need to find those Reliquaries to get the other bits of that staff.

[eastyy]

Does the 2.2 update add/alter much?

[Bassman]

It addresses a fair few problems.

Look at the readme file on this page:

thanks

Well playing through the game again.Thankfully you still regain all the chants so you can talk to ghost early on saves me coming back.Not really having any problems.Unlike with diablo 2 the enemies do not seem overpowered.When you go to the next difficulty.Probably helps though that my levels are a bit higher then the recommended.And i think its because of the decent equipment i have.

I really really hope they release a addon pack (like they did for the previous game) new areas would be good but i am hoping they would add new skills and abilitys for the higher levels

[Bassman]

An add-on would be nice certainly, though I never got the one for the original.

I hope to be well over Level 40 when I finish the game. Whether I'll play through again, I don't know. The characters you can recruit along the way don't seem as powerful as my party so I presume I am "ahead of schedule"!

Did you get a "pet" to use your extra character slot?

[eastyy]

no not tried yet just used another character at the moment.

Will try it though the new character unfortnetly is pretty weak
