Dungeon Siege II: Broken World

I started on the Dungeon Siege expansion a few days back. The combat is more intense here.

The monsters have more immunities and resistances to more kinds of damage than in the previous game. In fact, certain kinds of damage will heal them! Thus, it is important to have versatility in dealing different kinds of damage.

The expansion introduces two hybrid classes, one of which combines a warrior and a nature mage and the other, an archer and a battle mage. Both new types appear to be rather limited unless one were to spend vast amounts of time building them.

The premise, of course, is a direct continuation of the first one. As usual, the world is 'broken'. Devastated. What has changed? And some powers in this game were tweaked. I have heard that this expansion will require 20 hours to finish it.

This should be great fun.
