<a href="http://www.gamingexcellence.com/">GamingExcellence</a> offers a better late than not at all <a href="http://www.gamingexcellence.com/pc/games/270/review.shtml">review</a> of <a href="http://www.gaspowered.com/ds2">Dungeon Siege 2</a>. The score is an <b>8.2/10</b>, which is considered <i>Great</i> by there standards, and there's really nothing negative said in the main body of the review that I noticed. Anyway, here's a clip of what's good:
<br>
<blockquote>As in all great role playing games, the ability to customize your character is a necessity, and the more detail you can give the gamer, the happier they usually become. The original Dungeon Siege did not allow for any character customization beyond the clothes the character wears, the color of their skin, and their gender and race. The sequel takes character creation to a whole new level. There are five races to choose from, each with different strengths and weaknesses. For example, the half-giants receive a +6 bonus to their strength while at the same time receive a –2 bonus to their dexterity. This somewhat limits you to a certain playing style with different races, but at the same time the game is trying to simulate statistics that make sense. Who ever heard of half-giant with the intelligence of an elf?</blockquote>
<br>
Who ever, indeed. Off the top of my head, a Half-Giant with Nature Magic versus an Elf Ranger in the game would have a higher intelligence and still fit fantasy stereotypes.
