    Wow another game that likes to focus on the bouncying as much as the combat.

    Unfortunatly then that I don't like the look of this game, dungeon seige has potential however it needs more 1st person, open world ( iness ) for me. :(

    "needs more 1st person, open world ( iness ) for me"

    Horses for courses - I hate open-world nonsense, and a 1st person open world title sounds horrible. Surely that'd just be Oblivion all over again anyway. Meh.

    Not that I'm that keen on this either. I prefer my combat titles along the Bayonetta/Ninja Gaiden lines, rather than the grind style titles that never seem to carry any weight behind the blows. I am, however, interested in Dark Souls as PS3 owners raved about Demons' Souls combat feeling very solid.....

    This is one of those games that needs to be played on a PC with a top-down perspective to truly appreciate it.

    Obsidian are becoming the patron saint of fascinating, if slightly broken, games and this looks like it could be a lot of fun. If it's even half as fun as Torchlight it'll be a day one purchase.

    For the time being having finally gotten stuck into Fallout: New Vegas I've gotta say that Obsidian seem to have gone from strength to strength. I found Knights of the Old Republic 2 to be frustrating if fascinating, Neverwinter Nights 2 to be a generally frustrating experience, Alpha Protocol to be an amazing game buried under an awful opening, and Fallout:New Vegas to eclipse it's predecessor in both story and gameplay.

    1st person, open world? how bland and same old can people's tastes get? or perhaps there is some sarcasm there...

    If anything this resembles Diablo 3's demon hunter a bit too much. Still looks good though.

    Just played and discovered a quality Rpg/adventure that looks good, plays good and with plenty to do.

    Divinity II: Dragon King Saga - on Xbox360...well worth investigating for those who enjoyed Oblivion.

    So you're essentially a sentient spam bot. That's kind of terrifying.

    So you want Dungeon Siege not to look like any previous version of Dungeon Siege. Interesting viewpoint. It's not a new IP, this is the 3 installment, after all. If you never played the first two then you may not 'get it'.

    "Obsidian are becoming the patron saint of fascinating, if slightly broken, games and this looks like it could be a lot of fun."

    I'd say that they already are the patron saint of RPGs, Bioware and Bethesda have all but abandoned the genre and while they both excel at world-building they don't manage to build in the same level of intrigue that Obsidian manage on the slightly less impressive game-worlds, but personally I prefer a lesser environment with muchos intrigue as opposed to an expansive and varied environment that tastes a bit bland.

    @AgentBalti: Or perhaps the franchise owners don't get it? Compare Dungeon Siege I with what Project Lazarus did with the very same engine and it becomes evident that the game could have had much more to it than it actually offered. So, pray tell, why should people be content with mediocrity? Especially in a day and age when plenty of choice exists? There is absolutely no reason people should be content with half-baked hackfests with a story so "deep" it could be told on the back of a cracker box. If I want mindless slaughter, hey, supposedly hell freezes over soon and Duke Nukem Forever is published. But that game doesn't pretend to be anything more. This one does.

    Please, if you have enough money to burn it on mediocrity, go ahead. But don't expect others to be the same.
