Welcome to Gaia! ::

Okay, I know this game's old (a bit newer than Diablo 2, not by much) but it's still quite addictive to me.

The key with this one is that, unlike other, newer RPGs (Oblivion, for example. No, I'm not dissing Oblivion, just listen to what I'll say,) is that the game could be modded quite easily. Now, don't be n00b and confuse modding with godmodding. Modding is adding stuff to the game itself, or modifying the game's parameters via a file with an extension the game recognizes as part of it. In games like Diablo 2, Dungeon Siege/2 or Unreal Tournament, the real fun with the game starts once you are done with them and want to try something new. Then you find the mods, and... You're hooked.

I mean, for Dungeon Siege, you've got Star Wars mods (which are lame since the weapons are too fast and powerful, making the game too easy,) Dragon Ball mods, some assorted mods to add inventory space or make monsters respawn or even raise the difficulty (there's not such thing as "this game's too hard" for me,) or my favorite of all: Cat Mansion.

There's nothing like seeing a schoolgirl-catgirl warrior girl beating the living crap out of a massive dragon... With a paper fan. Or being able to throw plates at your enemy.

But the fun doesn't stop there. You can always get bored of the normal maps (the game only had two very large maps, after all, took twelve and twenty hours to beat them, respectively,) and want to face new challenges... Well, you can also create your own maps (takes weeks,) or download those other players created.

The only thing missing nowadays as far as DS goes, is the multiplayer online mode. But DS's online mode was more of a nuissance than a feature to me, as it was plagued with cheaters and godmodders.

Dungeon Siege 2 really went out there with mods after a while... Started off boring, but nowadays... I've moved on to DS 2 and I'm going to stay there until Diablo 3 shows its ugly kick-a** nose at last.

DS2's key victory point over other RPGs? Dual-able classes (Melee/Nature and Ranged/Combat for Broken World, but there's mods to add other dual classes.)

Get another one?

I dunno, in my area everything's pirated, so CD keys are easier to get.

OMG!!!! eek eek eek Someone actually likes Dungeon Siege! You people have won my respect. Personally I think the only thing MODable is the campaigns. I have yet to see it hacked like in Diablo. I dunno, just me.
