For me link to GoG does not work ;(
The page you're looking for could not be found.
@@user-nv5kn1pp2y working on fixing it. None of my links work atm.
I didn't hear you mentioning LEGENDS OF ARANNA expansion?
Dungeon seige 2 is one of those hidden gems nobody talks about anymore, Thanks for bringing more attention to this franchise
It's so good man!
yeah, we desperately need a new version of DS1 and 2.
Although I think the graphics in DS2 aged quite well because of a distinct style.
@click4gameplay: wait, until you open up an MP session in DS1 and realise there is a complete SECOND game world to explore in Multiplayer (which should also work in SP).
I bought the box with 6 CDs (5 for the game and 1 for the expansion) it was so awesome, included colored manual and a map
2 is hands down my favorite out of the trilogy. There's still active modders for 1 and 2. Been wanting to replay 1.
@@GustavoHawke that's awesome!
My love for DS2 is immeasurable, game was made by pure love for the genre. All the puzzles, secrets that big easter egg questline leading to the meeting with devs... chef kiss
Yeah same with Sacred 2
While DS 3 is not much like the great first two games, I still had a good time with it because of the writing of the story/characters and the gorgeous look of the game. Obsidian always manages to pull me in with there writing, even when its my least favorite game from them with DS3, I still enjoyed it for what it was. Combat was clunky and it didn't have much replay value, but even Obsidian's worst game was still enjoyable for me. While DS1/2 are more about fun gameplay and replay value for me, DS3 was more about the writing and the great visuals/art design.
for an ARPG there is a lot of hidden story content in DS2 with all those little personal quests, dialogue and banter that make many of your companions more lively.
Also there are giant level complexes hidden besides the linear path.
There is so much side content modern Devs would fill a complete game with.
Also: the expansion!
Actually in Dungeon siege 2 you don't have to run back to your corpse when you die. You can just talk to the guy near the town teleporter who will return all your things back to you minus the amount gold you droped on death. Now if you go back on your own you can retrieve all your items without loosing any gold altough it is of course risky.
Edit: You can open all inventory at once in DS 2 there is button for it.
Make sure to play all expansions, now that you are thinking to return to this series some day. Legends of Aranna, Broken World and Treasures of the Sun. There is also a spinoff, or whatever people are think about it, Space Siege, a sci-fi version of DS. Keep up the good work!
Make sure to get your hands on Broken World expansion for DS2, which adds formations and new content to DS2. It actually wraps up the DS2 base-game's story, since DS2-base left on a cliffhanger.
I played all the dungeon seige games as they came out.
Picking things up for resurrected DS1 characters for your next playthrough:
Position them on their loot pile, select only them, press the bag-like icon in the downright corner.
Also CTRL+F1-8 creates groups, selectable by F-Keys.
Nice video, i love these games!
Used that option constantly with the mule, it's a super useful feature!
The first game is an undisputed masterpiece. I remember playing it as a kid, and the adventure you set upon is second to none, it left quite the impression on little old me. Great retrospective, thank you!
Every single time I hear the theme, I remember the pitchfork, the goblins, the donkey, and my last hit to the final boss.
Undisputed masterpiece? Second to none? Sounds like nostalgia talking because you played it as a child.
Dungeon siege was a buggy mess on release, lost interest because of this back in the day. Now its really generic compared to other arpgs these days.
@@Fragenzeichenplatte More or less. I understand that the game may be outdated by todays standards, I also understand that it may've been infested with bugs as well, like @Alex-ii5pm mentioned. But at the end of the day, it was one of those classic games that are worth spending your time on undoubtedly even today. Consider the time it released, 2002. Back then having an RPG like this, that is very similar to the original Baldur Gate games and in some ways even improved, was a very big deal. There weren't many like this, and especially not as interesting as Dungeon Siege 1, I suppose Neverwinter Nights 1 was the closest "rival" . I strongly suggest you guys re-install it and maybe you will enjoy that adventure, many games (even today) pale in comparison, creative effort in the gaming industry has become a very rare thing....
@@stefeeNRG My to do list is very long so maybe later ;) I started DS 2 but always dropped off because something else came up.
I played Dungeon Siege 1 when I was 13 - 14! Loved it so much!
Dungeon Siege 2 is a good sequel and I had good time playing it.
Ditto
DS 1 was my very first game, to this day I remember fondly its ambiance in no small part due to Jeremy Soule's incredible soundtrack.
One trick I remember from DS2 is that you can set auto heal, as long as the character has mana, and the heal spell, they will try to heal themselves.
Yeah no, getting all of your party members to autocast healing spells is a great trick. Saves a bunch of Health Potion money.
Dungeon Siege 2 the multiplayer campaign: may be the greatest ARPG ever made. shame it never caught on as a design direction for other developers.
Wanted to add: the excellent soundtrack by Jeremy Soule and the horrible movie by Uwe Boll
I still play these from time to time I have a party that has levels in the 90's.
Its heartwarming to see you review this underrated series.
IMO, DS1 and 2 were like as if Diablo and Baldur's Gate or Icewind Dale had a love child that turned out pretty good and unique in its own way.
I agree with most of your critique points about Dungeon Siege 1 but regarding the point where certain enemies can blend in with environment making it harder to see them, I think that's a good thing not a bad thing because, it added lots to immersion specially when you factor in the game's lore of said monsters like the white wolves. I remember certain NPCs and books in the game mentioning that the creatures in the snowy area were hard to detect and as harder as this made the game, I appreciated how it matched with lore and gave the enemies a smart and lively feel that enemies are using tactics against you like natural camouflage.
I'd also love to add that Dungeon Siege 1 is one of my favorite childhood games if not the most favorite alongside Warcraft 3 (The RTS game not WoW)
I still remember to this day how scared I was as a kid of that chapel/shrine within the graveyard in the swamps level area and as soon as I picked the artifact within the chapel, headless zombies and crawlers started zerging me from everywhere.
Took me a good while to muster my courage to get past this place as a kid.
I also remember how fast my heart was beating when I finally beat the final boss in DS 1 and how fascinated I was with how weird the Droog race was in the game and with the big dragon fight or those tunnels early in the game in Wisren Cross where you'd find those mucosa mobs who looked like huge humanoid roaches as well as huge spiders that ambushed my party.
tl;dr Dungeon Siege 1 is lots of nostalgia and fond memories for me personally.
But the best thing about that game, IMO are the secrets. This game was full of secret areas and treasures and hidden areas you'd find off the beaten path which sometimes included interesting elites and items and so on.
I understand why Dungeon Siege 3 was ill received by the series fanbase. I was kind of disappointed by them changing the series genre like that as well and would have preferred if 3 was a spinoff series instead.
But credit where its due, I found 3 to be a fun couch coop ARPG. I was also pleased to see how it pays homage to some of the companions and factions you meet in Dungeon Siege 1 but I disliked how they decided that Dungeon Siege 1's MC was "Lady Montbarron" instead of keeping it as a nameless hero courtesy of the main character we customized and named in Dungeon Siege 1
Also, while 3's lore was not the worst thing, I didn't find it as good as neither 1 nor 2
Dungeon Siege 1 had best lore, IMO out of the trilogy but I could be biased due to nostalgia. I honestly just loved the parts with the droog and the seck's conspiracy.
Modded DSII is a thing of beauty. The framework is there to make the perfect game!
Many nights playing DS 1 in college. At one point i distinctly remember a party of 8 of us tearing through an area one night. Great game.
I love Dungeon Siege 1 and 2 were amazing. Is there anything out there like it.
Sacred 1 and especially 2. but no classic companion system. Amazing and basically made for multiplayer though. One class can summon undead companions. But otherwise multiplayer is the way to play it
And Champions Return to Arms. Has local coop. Plays like dungeon siege and has same atmosphere but you can play as panther or lizardman too
Wow, I just started replaying DS1 just yesterday. I have the original CD, on Steam and GoG, but had to "find it" online if I wanted to play the expansion.
Edit: I had strong Morrowind/Obliivion/Guild Wars 1 vibes regarding the music in DS1. I quick google confirmed that Jeremy Soule was the composer.
Loving your channel, I'm discovering lots of new games to play this Summer
I am a little surprised that there are not any games that are mechanically similar. These games operated in a unique way that no one, not even the other games in the series tried to replicate. Each game worked differently, so each it almost unique in operation when it comes to gaming.
Great pick. DS is one of the foundational 3d RPGs for sure. Just a minor point - "That's going to change as soon as you start the game. Yeah, very convenient." Well, of course it is. Would you rather play a farming simulator until the actual adventure just randomly begins? Edit - "the tutorial is 4th wall breaking..." Character name? C4G lol.
Ah, there's a nice nostalgia trip. It's a shame the expansions for DS1 and DS2, Legends of Aranna and Broken World, are so hard to obtain.
DS 1 Soundtrack is top tier
The 2d is one of my all time favourite games. Such a warm memories)
I wonder if you already found any item for secret Mysterious Mystery quest in DS2, which doesn't even named in your journal. Wonderful game with one of the best side quests with funny dialogues, really good for that time period, and not only, to be honest)
I had a lot of fun played the first one when i was like 13 or 14. The boyfriend of my sister (now husband) gave me a pirated copy of that game (i later bought the game)
Man I knew Dungeon Siege was coming to this channel eventually and was waiting for this moment
The first Dungeon Siege was the first game I played in my life, I remember watching my dad play when I was 4, I didn't even knew how to read yet at that age, but already had a love for fantasy rpgs, which is still my favorite genre of videogame, in 2019 I think, I got the old cds from my dad and tried them on the pc I had at the time, it was not only a nostalgia trip but the game was as good as I remembered
Anyway, probably just the nostalgia factor but Dungeon Siege is still one of my favorite games, although all the complaints you had about it are the same issues I had, I still want to get back to playing Dungeon Siege, but I'm now a console player and the pc I had, died, I will get a gaming pc when I get the money, too bad the Dungeon Siege franchise was killed by the disappointment that was Dungeon Siege 3, and I don't think it will get ressurrected
As a footnote, I see that you mentioned at the end of the video but the soundtrack on the first game was awesome, it was made by the same guy that did the Skyrim soundtrack, Jeremy Soule, the voice acting too is very good and really helps to bring life to a game without cutscenes nor dialogue camera
A fantastic game series. Yes, that includes DuS 3. My favorite is 2, but all are pretty great.
Yeh I remember modding the hell out of these games :D... Those were the days. Played a few years ago COOP with a friend on the open world map.
Multiplayer map is open world !. We had fun.
Love DS1 especially from childhood
Loved this overview. I'd really like to play these someday -- I tried the demo for the 1st game when it first came out, and never got into the series back then, which is a shame!
I loved Dungeon Siege 1 and 2, Dungeon Siege 2 was one of the best RPGs of it's time imo
Now we just need sequel to this video reviewing Space Siege and the Movies...
i like seeing all these different games i wont ever play lol. keep up the good work!
What a coinkidink, I just so happen to going through DS2 and played through the first one year or so ago.
It's good to see some love to be given to these games.
As a side note for DS2: Z to auto-collect items and necromancer by the town portal will get you your gear if you TPK.
Bravo sine, volim ove igre
These are neat games. Thanks.
Suillad mellonamin! I have played these games a lot, particularly ds2. This video brings back so many good memories, its great you covered theese games!
Эта серия рпг всегда будет у меня на первом месте. Каждый год нахожу время чтобы перепройти все три части, и, иногда, псп версию.
playing the first dungeon siege was an eye opening experience
Ah DS1 was my hangover game. Absolutely loved it and especially the multiplayer map which you can play in single player. oh and legends of arana dlc was awesome. Loved both DS1/2 but sadly not so much 3, sad.
Recently discovered the series. Played the first game. Blown away and cant beleive i didnt play it sooner
Heroic Kingdom: Origins is an early access being updated every day with everything you can imagine as a life long RPG lover!! Constantly updated daily and Discord is frequented by the developers daily as well! Give it a look!
i always loved the music of dungeon siege!! i can still listen to it today and it's as epic as the first time i heard it ^^
What a coincidence, I was thinking about playing it too
Big thanks to you matey, you make the night shifts at my creepy hotel go much faster! Is dungeon seige 3 worth playing at all? Ive seen the xbox360 verson on sale on xbox sales sometimes and it looks alright.
Dungeon siege 1 looks nostalgic and I never played it
Haha - 'The Dunkey.'
I love the accent!
You gotta play the DS1 expansion Legends of Aranna!
Bro I love the psp version of dungeon seige and this video lead me to find your awesome channel, I will definitely watch more of your videos, but if you are planning in checking rpgs on PSP definitely check Lord of Arcana, there is an improved version called Lord of Apocalypse that only came out of japan with more content, there is an english patch however, I have never tried it myself but apparently is even better. Anyway, awesome video I liked and subscried after the first 10 minutes.
Good video! I liked the first game though I never finished it. The third game was so much different that it was difficult to believe that it was the same series. I did manage to beat the third one on hard, which was sort of interesting, but consisted in a lot of dodge rolling.
Hello there my Click4Gameplay youtube personality
Creepy.
Played the third one some time ago, and enjoyed it.
I've always loved this game series. With the exception 3 though.
Iv been meaning to finish 2 for a while now, these games are really good but I do hear 3 is...eh haha.
Thanks for this! Ill be sure to dive in soon ^^
LETS GO! Every year I try to play through 1& 2 but it is so hard to get running on modern machines :(
Hmm, i bought second one on Steam and it works great.
Yk I remember watching a video where you mentioned having the need to play game series from start to latest release or sm like that. I think I’m the Witcher 1 video. I’d love to hear more about jt cuz it sm I deal with too.
Did you get the hidden dungeon of ds1 using the dagger from the start of the game?
The first one was truly a unique little gem, one i have very fond memories of. The second sadly, i never finished, it departed too much from what made the first one be what it was .
One of my favorite rpg !
I loved Dungeon Siege back in the day, watching the PSP version, I remembered several PS Vita arpg games. Could you make a video about them ;)
A video about PSP ARPGs would be amazing
Please! Is there a way to play DS 1 and 2 in widescreen? Now I want to play!
DS 3 is good too but its very different from the source material.
When you retry DS 1 you should really try its extension Legend of Aranna, it is really good. Though I think the only way to play it now is the pirate way since it isn't available anywhere, or maybe there is some way to mod it back into the game. There were also two smaller official addons called Yesterhaven and Return to Arhok that you can dowload on Nexus.
In DS1 you can toggle on health bars by pressing z or x
Dungeon Sage has an adaptation by Uwe Boll. This is some serious shit!
Wow you played with dynamic character shadows in the first game without tanking your fps?
Also check out Ross's Game Dungeon episode on Dungeon Siege ;)
Make a video about all the ARPGs on the psp. I made a point of collecting all of them (even the more obscure like Silverfall) and wound up losing my collection 😢
For DS1, the expansion needs to be modded in separately.
I know there Was a addon for dungeon siege 1. But i cannot find it anywhere. Do you know something about it? The addon Was great and i highly recommend it if you enjoyed dungeon siege 1. If i remember correctly it Was called something like "legends aus aranca" something like that
* "legends of arancar"
@@DDxSTYLEDungeon Siege: Legends of Aranna , it's like a DLC
Yup. But it is not available in digital re-releases.
You have to mod it in.
7:19 there is a button for automatic loot collection (little bag near the party management options) or hotkey (check hotkey section in options, there is a lot of QoL).
I have more than 1000 hours in DS1 (95% comes from single player campaign), the party is highly customisable (for example pressing F1 can selsct all of your melee characters) and a little bit of game knowledge helps.
For me DS1 is the best of all two DS games (DS3 is not DS in my world) ;)
These were some of my favourite rpg's. Except for the last one. I quit that one half way through.
He doesn't miss....HE DOESN'T MISS!
You know, the games are nice and all, but you get the feeling they definitely lack something: random martial arts in the middle of battle, and Burt Reynolds as the King
Don’t worry, I didn’t play these games either when they first came out. (Played Blizzard games in their heyday instead) I remember reading pcgamer about them though and always wanted to try! Good to see they mostly all hold up even 20 + years later
Should have Started with tbr Movie
I like ,im new here
Really loved the idea of a party based action dungeon crawler, basically just Diablo with a group. Feels so much more realistic, a group of adventurers. Still hate pause combat, though.
It's reverse starcraft. Instead of an rts with one on one combat elements, it's Diablo with rts elements.
The collection is $3.69 right now at cdkeys
didnt you have any problems to run them at windows11? i did
Here's a fun Fact you can play couch co-op in Dungeon Siege 3 so grab a friend and an Extra controller and share the adventure!! It's a fun game i know im in the minority but i really like the story and combat is not bad.
pura nostalgia, mas o terceiro jogo é difícil de aceitar
Dungeon siege 1 and 2 were those games I never finish myself. So long and repetetive. But the mechanic for new spells in defeated enemies are actually cool
The problem with the 3rd one is they left out cross-classing and party members. The biggest things people enjoy about the PC games.
Saying that u cant open all characters invetory in DS2 is actually wrong - default hotkey is V I think - check options many for the keybinds
Video #4 of asking for Siege of Avalon please 🙏🏻
Don't worry m8, I'll cover it eventually in my hidden gems or trash videos.
Did You ever play Spellforce?
DS1 was groundbreaking in its time. It only came out a little after D2 but looked so much better and basically had no loading times.
The affiliate link doesn't seem to work. Or am I the only one with this problem?
Thanks for letting me know. It seems like there is a problem with all my links atm. Working on fixing it.
Maybe I am wrong, but for DS1 and 2 currently there is no legal way to play with the expansion packs, which is is as shame as in DS2 the expansion basically is the real ending.
I so should have tried the 3rd Dungeon Siege game on my PS3 when it came out, but I was too focused on playing other franchises like Assassin’s Creed, Elder Scrolls, Castlevania, Dragon Age, Demon’s Souls, White Knight Chronicles and a few other games. Maybe if I had the time back in my high school years, I could have gotten a copy and see if Dungeon Siege 3 is good or “the worst thing that has happened to the video game community ever”.
Wish they made a fourth one
I did not like respawning enemies at all in DS 2, if I start moving to the waypoint, I could not stop halfway for that reason, so I was locked into playing until I got to the next. I got DS 3 with the DLC for 10$ for thar price I got my money worth
I prefer pets more in DS2 than normal party members, they were much cooler
Just fyi there is an auto pick up button in DS1!
Dungeon Siege is criminally abandoned. It's a classic example of how shelfware should be open source by law after like 10 years.
