    Tags: Dungeon Siege II: Broken Worlds

    There's a <A href="http://www.gamespot.com/pc/rpg/dungeonsiegeiibrokenworld/review.html?sid=6155228">review</a> of <A href="http://brokenworld.gaspowered.com/">Dungeon Siege 2: Broken Worlds</a> over at <A href="http://www.gamespot.com">GameSpot</a>. The reviewer was pretty disappointed from what he said, and the score of <b>6.3/10</b> kind of reflects that. Anyway, here's something about midgets:
    <br>
    <blockquote>The new race in Broken World is the dwarves, which fits thematically with the rest of the races in the game, such as the half-giants, elves, and dryads. Playing a dwarf doesn't significantly change the experience of hacking your way through mobs of monsters in one dungeon after the other, though, so the addition is entirely superficial. Your dwarf character can be used in Dungeon Siege II as well, but it seems slightly odd to do so because there are no other dwarves in that game.</blockquote>
    <br>
    Eh, it's not like the races in <A href="http://www.gaspowered.com/ds2">Dungeon Siege 2</a> were much count either. They were basically just classes. Then again, you can't exactly do much with that ultra-streamlined, bare bones character system anyway.

    I was drunk.
    rly.

    And no i should not be shot. I can't see how the groundbreaking discovery that something that's supposed to be "more and slightly varied shit" is still a piece of said material would justify anything else than the silly version of "oh really?"

    So, yeah.
    fuck you.
