Shades of Twilight

It’s actually rather unexpected. Last weekend I was just at Sim Lim getting some DVDRs and CDRs. Then I swung by the regular game shop and saw Dungeon Seige 2 plus the expansion pack. Having nothing else worth playing there (yeah well I don’t play RTSes like Supreme Commander) I picked that up. I know that I’ll be kept busy for the next few months with Dungeon Seige 2.

That brings back old memories of Dungeon Seige 1, the original. I remember my “fighter” wearing a wizard hat all the way up to end-game, cos that’s the best headgear I could find. I also remember the world was seamless – no loading screens of any kind at all.

Dungeon Seige 2 didn’t disappoint. My character is now level 24 or so, and the sheer amount of quests thus far is incredible. I need to backtrack to Act 1 too, cos I left a couple of quests there undone. I might have rushed headlog into Act 2 abit too fast too, cos the mobs here are pretty dang tough. I need to backtrack abit to clean up all the side quests and perhaps get my character levelled up more before I jump into the fray in Act 2.

One thing that irks me about Dungeon Seige 2 is that there isn’t a “LOAD GAME” button. Sometimes I just wanna save, try something stupid, and reload. But, in DS2 you have to exit the game, and then click on CONTINUE GAME from the main menu, which is a pain.

Also, I seem to recall that the original Dungeon Seige had an editor where you could make your own dungeons (kinda like Neverwinter Nights). I don’t see that at all in DS2. Even stranger… I can’t even find the “official forums” for DS2 too… nothing much at the official website for it.

In any case, I’m thinking I might spend 100 hours or more in DS2 and the expansion pack, Broken World. That means I won’t be touching another game for like another 3 months or so heh!
