There's also a <A href="http://pc.gamezone.com/gzreviews/r22289.htm">review</a> of <a href="http://www.gaspowered.com/ds2">Dungeon Siege 2</a> at <A href="http://pc.gamezone.com/">GameZone</a>. The score is a little lower, a <b>8.3/10</b>, but it's positive over all. Here's a bit on the story in the beginning:
<br>
<blockquote>Unfortunately, the lead character (you) in Dungeon Siege II is ignorant of all the signs pointing at either him or her. The fact that you are killing everything in your path en route to a temple (and most of what you are killing are dryads), while being insulted by warped, raspy-voiced monsters who treat you as chattel rather than swords for hire should be one thing that makes you think something is amiss. There is a legendary and renowned elf, noted for honorable and heroic deeds, who is fighting for the other side, and who has you in his bow sights and then walks away before sending a missile of death in your direction. And there is your blue-haired elf friend, who has a mysterious medallion that signals something is wrong, who keeps telling you he has a bad feeling and then finally gives you the medallion to hold, an object that is his most precious possession.</blockquote>
<br>
It's also neat that despite your blue haired friend's objections, he's the one who pipes up and asks about getting paid for doing all that.

For those who enjoy the Neverwinter Nights-, Baldur’s Gate- or Icewind Dale-style titles, this is somewhat similar.
Yes, they all have swords and magic and can be controlled mainly with a mouse.

Elves are magical. They have blue hair. Waaaa he has blue hair it's not a real RPG. DS2 sucks because the elf has blue hair.

Are you asking for the dumbfuck title or something? Blue hair was simply mentioned as an identifying factor, nobody bitched or complained about the hair color.

Well, since it was mentioned, I don't generally care for wacky blue hair and other weird color hairs on elves or dwarves or things like that. I can understand why Dryads, Pixies, and other fantasy creatures would have green, blue, etc. colored hair, but I tend to think of elves as being more like humans in appearance than not.

I could also do without the six inch long elf ears in the game as well.

He died anyhow, so case closed. At least I hope he died, he was annoying me. :> Maybe thats why Valdris killed him, cos he had blue hair and looked like a crazy man. They make unreliable mercs I hear. :p
