Is Dungeon Siege worth it?

But shouldn't the true question be: Is sieging dungeon worth it?

Anyways, played Dungeon siege 3, and didn't really like it much.

When the game first came out, the game was amazing, I loved it. I am not sure the game has aged well, but I don't know, I haven't played the game in a long time

Lots of people love Dungeon Siege 2 the most.
I played it years back, it's pretty good.

The first two are great games. But I hate them for what they did to the saga with DS3. Really, it's awful, not nearly as enjoyable as the first too.

Get the Dungeon Siege Bundle that has 1,2, and 3+All DLC in it, if you get anything at all.
Don't let people's opinions deter you. Try them for yourself.

DS2 is just like Diablo2, but the camera is 3d, instead of 1 character you control 4-6 and you can combine "classes".
DS3 is a good game, but it have nothing to do with a "Dungeon Siege" game - different story, different gameplay.

Love the series. Specially the first two. Recommend!

Still having the original DS1 on disc next to me. Its a good game! Not sure about DS2 and DS3, never played them.

I especially liked the many secrets hidden in the first titles dungeons and the cool multiplayer world. It also has some nice mods available. Also the cool chicken level ;)

The second one had better looking environments, but wasn't that much fun to explore in my eyes. This time, the multiplayer takes place right where the singleplayer is. It is more polished, but that takes away a bit of the older ones charme.

I only played a demo of DS3 and didn't like it at all.

If you only intend to get one of the titles, I suggest the first one, else get the first two or get the cheap bundle.

First two games are awesome, especially if you like diablolike games with a twist (like have the ability to control a full party).

I played only the demo of DS3 but from what I've played, it only have the name in common with his predecessors.. :O

I'd actually go for Dungeon Siege 1, unfortunately Steam only gives the original game without its expansion, Legends of Aranna (which is the superior game of the series).

I'm one of the bigger fans of the series, and Dungeon Siege still holds a spot in my 'Top 10 of Favorite Games Evah'. DS1 simply is the Hack and Slash game for me, easily surpassing any installment of Diablo. To grasp the grandeur, the amazing soundtrack and overal lovely world design, Dungeon Siege 1 is your best bet. Take it from a fan who has at least 10 playthroughs on his record.

It seems like most everyone likes number 2 over 1, do the two share any story elements? Like, if I play 2 without 1, will I lose a lot of the story?

I would absolutely recommend the first one. never completed the second one but it seemed pretty good as well
