"Uncover a deep story that only Square Enix and Obsidian Entertainment can deliver."

So its about a emo spiky haired software engineer who has problems fixing bugs in his applications and has issues with interface design? *cough*

I guess the console guys get another old PC game for their ever expanding (dirty) cloud of influence.

Let me just explain what I mean since I just realised your not mind readers on this planet. There seems to be this expectation from developers that console players are half-wits that can't understand even a minorly complex system. Thus the dumbing down of game design for console. This is not to be confused with refinement of the design to make it more focused and more fun.

It seems that developers treat the console as the "easy way" where good interface design dosn't matter and customising options is too much for delecate females to be able to think through, where "deep" means all of 2 interacting systems! At the SAME TIME!

Umm yeah that was a rant.

Hmmm Could Elemental be modded for such a thing...?

This can't be any worse than Space Siege was.

I liked Dungeon siege 1, then played 2, hated it, and it made me hate dungeon siege 1 as well.

I was never a fan of the series, really. Dungeon Siege 2 was OKish but nothing to get warmed up over. I only played Dungeon Siege 1 after playing Dungeon Siege 2 and it just felt horribly old. It may have been good back then, but it's not what I'd call a timeless classic.

That said, I think this could actually turn out reasonably good. Square Enix and Obsidian could probably produce a fairly competent action RPG, since they're not supposed to make much sense anyway.

You better put on a flame-proof suit when traveling near Blizzard fanboys now.

As much as I hate to say it, DS3 will likely use Steamworks as several SE games have released with as of late. I pray that it wont as I'd like to have at least some possibility of purchasing it on Impulse, but the likelihood is pretty good that it will be a "steam only" product.

I glanced at the article but it seemed to focus on the consoles obtaining that game. Did anyone notice if it was planned to come to the PC as well?

I still have hope that Impulse will obtain DS1&2! I loved the first and never got around to playing the second. Then again, the fun of playing DS1 was coop, but I'm sure the servers are long since shut down. Guess we'll see.

Actually makes me sad.  I'd much rather see a real RPG and not more of these lite action RPG's.  Dungeon Siege wasn't even one of the better ones.  I got bored half-way through the first one and never looked back.  Both of these companies are capable of much more than what the previous Dungeon Siege's brought to the table.  Wish they wouldn't waste their efforts on this.

Bleh!...for a moment I thought that Dungeon Keeper III. is in development.

I really liked Alpha Protocol, great storyline. DS1 was good, but I don't expect much from it, don't know what Obsidian can do with it.

I sure won't be buying it.

Great news! I loved Dungeon Siege 1 & 2 and I loved NWN 2 from Obsidian, so I'm looking forward to this.
