GB Feature: DS2: Broken World E3 Preview

Our E3 2006: The RPGs editorial is officially complete with the addition of a hands-on preview of Gas Powered Games’ Dungeon Siege II: Broken World expansion pack.

The entire expansion takes place as Act IV and is designed to provide 10-20 hours of gameplay, depending on how many of the new side quests you take advantage of. The expansion is geared for level 39+, though any character that has finished the main game can be brought into the add-on. If you don’t have such a character available, the expansion will have six pre-made characters that you can choose from instead. For those of you who do have a character that meets the requirements, but would like to try something different this time around, you’ll be happy to hear that the expansion’s first town will feature an NPC that will allow you to completely respec your character. for a price. You’ll also be able to pick up a couple of different pets for your party, including the Packram and Kohl Beast. The Packram is fairly self-explanatory, while the Kohl Beast is a vicious bird that even comes equipped with plate armor to protect it.
