There's a <A href="http://www.1up.com/do/reviewPage?cId=3142764">review</A> of <A href="http://www.gaspowered.com/ds2/">Dungeon Siege 2</a> over at <A href="http://www.1up.com/">1Up</a>. The score is a <b>7/10</b> and they make a comment about the game being more like <i>Dungeon Siege 1.5</i> rather than a sequel. Anyway, here's a clip:
<br>
<blockquote>While the group may have a mix of ranged and melee characters, those distinctions go out the window pretty quickly, and fights degenerate into a chaotic free-for-all. This puts every character other than the heavily armored fighter class at a distinct disadvantage. Robe wearing mages simply don't stand-up well to the giant club of an ogre. It also makes leading the party with anyone other than a fighter difficult as going in first with these softer characters only gets them beat up that much sooner.</blockquote>
<br>
I've found it a lot easier to use a ranged fighter as my lead while letting the NPCs rush in . That way, I can monitor the "free for all" from a reasonably safe distance. Of course it's chaotic if you're the guy rushing in.
