A Dungeon Siege 3: Return of the cult series

Anjali does not believe her eyes: the meeting house of the once glorious and respected 10th Legion is on fire. The brutal warlord Kassynder Jeynes has let burn down the building to seize power in the kingdom Ehb itself. Before Anjali gets a chance to digest this shock, they must fight against Jeynes soldiers.

With a rotation step she takes the first two opponents by the legs, while rain down arrows of the archers on them. No problem for the preppy fighter: Anjali turns into a creature of fire and kill the archers with fire spells. Casually she resumes her human form, to collecting coins along with weapons and sets out to search for survivors.


Jeynes alone because the powerful can not be defeated. Anjali is one of four characters, the player in "Dungeon Siege 3" are available. Lucas, Reinhart and Katarina complete the quartet, they are all children of Legion members and have special abilities: While Anjali excels firepower familiar with Lucas as a daring swordsman.

Reinhart uses combat magic, Katarina shoots with pistols and rifles of all calibers. Winning battles get experience points, gold and loot. The figure used either by themselves or hawked them at a dealer. Good: Plays one alone, the computer plays one of the three other characters, thus helping in the fight against the threat of the Kingdom Ehb.

The computer-controlled allies thereby acts pretty clever. If desired, a human, the role of fellow comrades. The op, work on Xbox Live, or locally in front of a console. Those who collect enough experience points increase automatically on an equal footing and seeks out another ability. In addition you get with each level up points that you invest in the expansion of your fighting power.

Who wants to bring it to the "championship" in a discipline, but must above all fight a lot and use his skill. This customization is fun, but initially requires a lot of getting used to. On the Playstation and Xbox, the "Dungeon Siege" is only partially successful debut: In Control, story and talent system, there is little to complain, the graphical presentation reaps criticism.

On the Xbox fall primarily on the roughly drawn figures. Has been a particular visual deficits in the close-ups, for example, video sequences or the player zooms in close to the figures. In contrast, the dungeons and battle effects are well worth seeing. Despite weaknesses in the optics makes "Dungeon Siege 3" a lot of fun, because the classic, well-written role-play story quickly draws the player into the spell.
