The first impressions that came to my mind when I began playing Dungeon Siege II were both a sense of appreciation for Gas Powered Games' incomparable Chris Taylor (who showed - to me, at least - that he really does listen to what people want in his games), and a sense of gratitude that the finished game was even better than its preceding demo (of which I also highly enjoyed). Now I will give concessions here to those of you that may be "Die-Hard Diablo II" buffs - Dungeon Siege II, while still classified as a "Hack-n-Slash" RPG and still emulating to some varied degree the Blizzard classic, simply is in a class by itself - meaning that it is highly unlikely that DS2 will win any new converts from the ranks of those same "Die-Hard" Diablo 2 buffs any more than its predecessors did, though I can foresee that the ranks of the "Dungeon Siege buffs" will grow considerably.​
