Tags: Dungeon Siege: Legends of ArannaArmchair Empire has checked out and reviewed that wacky expansion pack bundle, Legends of Aranna, giving it an 8.4/10 so long as you didn't buy the original.
Yes, LoA is aimed at the first-time player so it makes sense to start your character from scratch, but it will drive experienced players nuts. It took on a special significance for me because I played through the original immediately before tackling LoA (having not played Dungeon Siege until now). I sat a little dumbfounded ? a familiar state some might say ? when I found I had to start from square one. This meant another team to build, items to acquire, and slowly leveling-up.
The problem with this is that levelling up in the game just isn't interesting at all because you have no involvement in the process. That's why starting from scratch is so uninteresting.
