Tags: Dungeon Siege: Legends of ArannaGameBiz have posted their <a href=http://www.gamebiz.com.au/reviews.php?action=display&id=289>review[/url] of Dungeon Siege: Legends of Aranna. They think it's just okay and it scores 74%.
A somewhat disappointing aspect of Legend of Aranna many of your characters actions are controlled by the games AI. Often all you must do is manage your health and mana levels and making sure your characters drink potions as needed or switch over the healing spells. The game play is limited and if you are only after a slow walkthrough game, clicking a section of ground ahead of your characters, watching them automatically dispatch a group of enemies, picking up some treasure then you may enjoy this game. However if you are looking for more of in-depth RPG I wouldn’t look too closely at Legends of Aranna.
I wonder how the "have the AI play the game for you" approach would work in a game like Fallout. Would the AI choose the path of least resistance and b-line for the Lieutenant to tell him where Vault 13 is?
