A very solid map and proof that even 20 years after its release Dungeon Siege is a wonderful game to play. I'm hoping this is a taste of more to come I love both this and Empire of Stars. Keep up the work, heaven knows the two games need it, heck DS2 was recently delisted from Steam and I worry about the future of Dungeon Siege.
An excellent adventure having characters reach aprox. level 24 or around "swamp level" if you will, of the original game. The way the map works make you always think differently from the original game; do you want to continue on your path to the distant Longbourne, or take a little detour, and will your health potion supply last? Maybe you should invest in a packmule, for if you don't usually a detour will eat inventory space! And don't get lost!
This map, more than most, adds an element of truly planning ahead with resource management. It is unlikely you will reach Longbourne having seen everything, which is why I have a "chill" finished run with my party exploring the rest that I play when talking to people over Discord.
I also love the use of Dungeon Siege lore, exploring an unseen area of the world. As the franchise is sadly dead at this point (and I don't really consider Dungeon Siege 3 canon, as it's just not a DS game) It's fun to see the world realized like this. With the Dungeon Siege 2 assets now being converted maybe we will see the two truly cross in the future!
Again, thanks foerstj for another fantastic experience!
I really enjoyed this map. It's a very nice lore-friendly exploration of the Green Range region of Aranna, that includes some pretty novel ideas. I give it a solid 8/10.
