What’s New In Dungeon Siege II?

GameSpy has put together a new article that explores the changes and additions in Gas Powered Games’ upcoming Dungeon Siege sequel. Here’s a bit about the deadlier enemies you’ll meet:

The original Dungeon Siege featured only basic enemy A.I. (for the most part, they’d rush toward you as willing participants in their inevitable slaughter). This time around enemies will behave much smarter: developers have created what they call “Coach A.I.,” which treats groups of enemies as a team. When the battle starts, the A.I. determines their plan of attack and then they split off to bring on the hurt as a team. They may even focus on one particular character who’s the biggest threat. Moreover, enemies will use special abilities accordingly. Those who are able to do so will cast spells, heal their own team, and in general work to make sure that players will have some interesting battles on their hands.
