For those as yet un-initiated, Dungeon Siege was very much an action based RPG. Having initially created your very own character, you progressed through an action-filled RPG, taking on quests aplenty and teaming up with other like minded AI-controlled adventurers along the way. The biggest challenge was creating yourself a team that complimented each other to such an extent that you became nigh on impossible to defeat. While a group of hulking muscle bound heroes wielding enormous swords may sound quite appealing to some, in Dungeon Siege this scenario was always doomed to failure. You required the right blend of the available ‘types’ (those adept at close-counter scrapping, long range weaponry, magic based attacks and so on) in order to make your way through the game.​
