Dungeon Siege II: Sybex Official Strategies and Secrets,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Dungeon Siege II: Sybex Official Strategies and Secrets (Sybex Official Strategies & Secrets) (Paperback)
This book is an excellent guide to the computer game Dungeon Siege II. It's typcial in format. It has the usual things you expect from such a guide: better explanations and suggestions in character formation; statistics on monsters, weapons, armor and speciality items and of course, the ever important walk through. There is only one instance where I felt the guide was wrong in the information it gave out in a walk through (and that could have been due to a change or patch in the programming). There was only one other time I had trouble understanding the books directions. All in all, an excellent guide and help to playing the game. One nice touch is that the author and the game producers include notes and hints as to how they played the game in little sidebar notes.

A bit disappointing,

This review is from: Dungeon Siege II: Sybex Official Strategies and Secrets (Sybex Official Strategies & Secrets) (Paperback)
First, let me say that this is a useful book. But compared to other guides it falls short.
1. I was disappointed that there was no large map showing the complete DS2 world. 2. The smaller maps (and many are VERY small) were often difficult to understand. 3. Sometimes the help was less than helpful. eg One secondary quest requires you to find four locations. Instead of describing where to find them, it simply says "check the maps in parts 4 thru 6 for precise locations." That means you have to troll through 110 pages! The maps have marked locations, but the legends are never in table form--you have to read through many paragraphs to find what you want. I found myself using the free walk-thrus available on line more often than the book.

DS II Game Guide Gets The Most Value From The Game,
This review is from: Dungeon Siege II: Sybex Official Strategies and Secrets (Sybex Official Strategies & Secrets) (Paperback)
A typically excellent Sybex job. Maps of small areas are very helpful, but the larger-scope maps have such tiny detail that using them is sometimes difficult for older eyes. Organization into Primary and Secondary Quest sections may confuse some, but many of the secondary quests extend over areas first visited in each of the three major acts...not linear at all.
