Dungeon Siege II E3 Preview

IGN PC has put together a preview of Dungeon Siege II, based upon a demonstration they saw at this year’s E3. Here’s a bit to get you started:

Since party-based combat is the name of the game, you’ll still be able to recruit members into your party, but there’s no mistaking that you’re the hero here. One criticism of the main game is that the various archetypes developed along the same lines. This time around, there’s a skill tree that gives you three or four branches for each character archetype. So your half-giant warrior might not be anything like my dryad warrior. Yours specializes in defense, while mine prefers dual wield or berserk specializations. (You can spend points on skills in different specializations if you’d like to generalize.)
