Chris Taylor's Dungeon Siege was a hit back in 2002 -- it offered a stylized take on the PC fantasy RPG experience, combining Diablo's tons-o-loot mechanics (the game even had a pack mule character that provided more inventory to your party) with an interesting experience system that leveled up skills only when used. After a sequel in 2005 (and a shameful set of Uwe Boll movies), the property has now found a home at Obsidian Entertainment, and the company is hard at work on Dungeon Siege 3, due out this May.
Obsidian, it turns out, is a great fit for the old series. It's a studio that's made a name for itself by continuing other studios' games (see Knights of the Old Republic 2, Neverwinter Nights 2 and Fallout: New Vegas), both imitating series' conventions while blazing their own way forward (sometimes to fans' chagrin). And Dungeon Siege 3 follows that same formula. While the setting is the same as the first game and the lore fits together, this console-based hack-and-slash RPG takes a lot of liberties with Chris Taylor's original game, but Obsidian's talent shines through anyway.Gallery: Dungeon Siege 3 (2/8/11)
