Dungeon Siege
Dungeon Siege is an action role-playing game set in a pseudo-medieval high fantasy world, presented in 3D with a third-person virtual camera system. The player chooses the gender and customizes the appearance of the main character of the story prior to the start of the game and typically controls them. The main character is joined by up to seven other characters, which are controlled via artificial intelligence; the player may switch which character they are controlling at any time. The game world is not broken up into levels, but is instead one large area not separated by loading screens that the player journeys through, fighting hordes of enemies.
About Dungeon Siege in brief
Dungeon Siege is an action role-playing game set in a pseudo-medieval high fantasy world, presented in 3D with a third-person virtual camera system under the control of the player. The player chooses the gender and customizes the appearance of the main character of the story prior to the start of the game and typically controls them. The main character is joined by up to seven other characters, which are controlled via artificial intelligence; the player may switch which character they are controlling at any time. The game world is not broken up into levels, but is instead one large area not separated by loading screens that the player journeys through, fighting hordes of enemies. It was nominated for the 2003 Computer Role-Playing Game of the Year award by the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences. A trilogy of movies, with the first loosely inspired by the plot of Dungeon Siege, were released as In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale, In thename of the king 2: Two Worlds, and In the name of the kings 3: The Last Mission. An expansion pack, Dungeon Siege: Legends of Aranna, was released in 2003, and a further series of games was developed in the franchise, consisting of Dungeon siege II and its own expansion Dungeon Siege II: Broken World, a spinoff PlayStation Portable game titled Dungeon Siege : Throne of Agony, and a third main title, Dungeon siege III. The game was highly rated by critics upon release; it is listed by review aggregator Metacritic as the third-highest rated computer role- playing game of 2002.
Critics praised the graphics and seamless world, as well as the fun and accessible gameplay, but were dismissive of the plot. Dungeon Siege sold over 1. 7 million copies, and was released by Microsoft in April 2002, for Microsoft Windows, and the following year by Destineer for Mac OS X. It is the first title by Gas Powered Games, which was founded in May 1998 by Chris Taylor, then known for the 1997 real-time strategy game Total Annihilation. The music was composed by Jeremy Soule, who had also worked on Total Annihilator, and it was written by Neal Hallford, who wrote the lead story and dialogue writer for the game, and Jacob McMahon as the other lead designer and producer for the first Dungeon Siege title. The player does not select a character class for the characters, instead using weapons or magic of a particular type that increases the player’s skill with them over time. As the player travels through the game world, they encounter numerous types of monsters that attack whenever the party of characters approach, and defend themselves using ranged and ranged weapons, and melee and ranged combat. Unlike other video games of the time, the player controls their overall tactics and weapons and magic usage, which direct their character growth. The other characters move in relation to the controlled character according to the formation and level of aggression towards enemies chosen by the player, and can be removed from the group and re-recruited at any given time.
