Product Description

Product Description
Dungeon Siege II: Broken World is intense role-playing that expands on the unique gameplay and action of the first two hits. At the end of Dungeon Siege II, warlord Vardis was defeated and the world began to fall apart. Gigantic cracks have appeared throughout the country, and lands green with life are now empty brown wastelands. Many see you as the reason for this destruction. A year later, new monsters appear in the countryside -- patchwork creatures who seem to be made from pieces of several beasts. To clear your name and improve your reputation, you decide to head into the shattered lands and find the source of these new monsters.

4.0 out of 5 stars The fun continues, October 21, 2006

By	Philly Doc (Ohio) - See all my reviews

Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 

I am really enjoying this game.

I never finished DS I, I thought it was tedious. DS II fixed the problems of DS I and I played the sequel through to the end. There wasn't anything about the gameplay compelling enough to make me want to go through it a second time for the extra charactor slot, but it was a REALLY enjoyable H&S while it lasted.

I haven't experienced any of the bugs the one reviewer did, my characters imported right away. I'm having fun well into the second act.

If you enjoyed DS II, you should buy this.

4.0 out of 5 stars More of the same, which is good, October 1, 2006

By	Dr. Kevin P. Lyness (New Hampshire) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 

This is essentially just a new set of missions, along with two new character classes and a couple of new pets. There are also new item recipes. This extends a pretty fun hack and slash game. You can import parties from the original or start with new characters at the appropriate level. Unlike some expansions, this starts out at a difficulty level appropriate for characters who've beaten Valdis. I'm enjoying it.

1.0 out of 5 stars Much buggier than original DS2, October 4, 2006

By	Sunan Peebles "sumthinelse" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Fun:2.0 out of 5 stars 

The worst bug apparently is limited to importing characters from original Dungeon Siege 2. Many (truly) folks, including me, can't even play the game because there is a limit to the number of characters, and this bug prevents you from switching characters in your group. For example, I tried to play a multiplayer party mode in which the limit was 3 characters. One early quest requires you to make a dwarf a member of your group. When you need to get your original party members back, the only way to do that is to release this dwarf to the Inn. When you do that, the game quits and when you start again, that character is gone from the game. There are many other problems related to this bug. This happened with both of my imported DS2 characters.

I would normally expect a patch to resolve this problem from the developers, but apparently the thinking is that this won't happen unless you import corrupted save files. My understanding is that they have not been able to figure out how these files get corrupted, even though they have been trying a long time. So I will be pleasantly surprised if they do find a way to fix this problem, but I'm not holding my breath.

In my opinion, the quality of Dungeon Siege 1 and Legends of Aranna was much better than anything after that, and Broken World is aptly named.
