Finding the Best ARPG Ever Made: Dungeon Siege 2

Dungeon Siege 2 is like the first game in many ways, but it transcends a lot of the faults from it's predecessor. Better control, better graphics, copious voice acting and side content. In many ways, it's the ideal sequel, and it has Lothar the man Ogre in it, so what more can you really want? The question thus becomes, through its great improvements, could Dungeon Siege 2 possibly be the Best ARPG Ever Made?

Thanks for watching! This is the second entry in good old Dungeon Siege Debruary, and I hope you enjoyed this festive romp through the merits of this strange game! As always, I sincerely hope you enjoyed, and if you did, please Like, Share, Comment and Subscribe! And siege the bell a little bit on your way out the door, why not?

I'm glad you have now played the entire Dungeon Siege franchise. Both the first game, and then the second game. And now there are no more Dungeon Siege games for you to play. Wow.

4:42 Apparently the cover art character for Dungeon Siege is Lady Montbarron, the supposed canon representation of the main character from the first game, which, according to the wiki, even had some background info on the old microsoft game studios site. She even has a model hidden in Dungeon Siege 2's game files somewhere(which is odd, since I think the second game happens a good long time after the first.

Her descendant, Lucas Montbarron, is one of the playable characters in Dungeon Siege 3.

Damn you missed the pet system, they can evolve by feeding them gear, they respond eventually by levling the appropriate stats to the gear you donated towards them, give the wolf a sword and his attack damage will go up, they can eventually learn "ultimate" abilties that are semi strong!

As someone who’s only ever played Diablo and just shows up to these videos because I enjoy you’re writing and voice overs; not gonna lie, your review of this game is the first time in this series that I actually wanna pick up and play an ARPG. This game just seems like a fun and chill experience to play while in a voice chat with your friends. Here’s hoping it scores decently on the re-review. Of course, great vid as always!

i LOVED Dungeon Siege 2 as a kid, although I never made it to the end, I had a ton of fun.

You level up pets by feeding them items btw. I think it's as easy as dragging equipment over their avatar in the Inventory.

Additionally, what I like about the shrines, is that these phrases used are all derived from Latin.
You can either google what the words mean, or, do something as stupid as me, and study latin in high school.

Dono Armorum literally means "Give armor" - I also love that there are literally spells that do nothing but kill you (Magrum Erupto - Gigantic Explosion)

Not only am I happy to see you making videos on (sort of ARPG?) games you're genuinely passionate about, but the writing in this video is S-tier lmao. Love you Seer <3

I love this mid-2000's graphics style!
Thanks for that review!

DS 2 was a pinnacle of arpg genre. Great progression for characters and fun gameplay with loot that felt rewarding

[minidude]

You can get the expansions for DS1 and DS2 using the "Killah Fix" for each game. Apparently when people originally bought the game on Steam it came with the expansion but now days it doesn't. This fix just restores the expansions. There's also a mod called the "Legendary Mod" for DS2 that ports all the DS1 maps/games to DS2 so you can play them with the upgraded systems.

Love the videos Seer. You're hilarious boss. Was so happy to see you playing these games. I loved playing them back in the day.

I think the pets get powerful if you feed them equipment with the growth and power defining the type of equipment you feed them.
Eg, feeding shields will increase their defenses, feeding weapons will increase the attack powers etc

Ive never been so excited for Dungeon Siege Debuary

[InvadeNormandy]

I'm intrigued to see you touch the third game when you get to it because what the HELL happened.

[gustavvaip]

Glad someone defended Dungeon Siege 2 after Ross Scott shat on it and everyone started hating it as if they had actually played it.

[doomoork]

The runescape background music always tickles my brain

[Nabuhodonoz]

You're a real gift, for over a good year you've been making incredible videos and always cheering me up when I needed it the most, thanks for being this awesome of a content creator Seer (many S's)!!

[nicholasabraham]

These 2 games and their expansions are freakin tight! Glad you enjoyed them!

[SubTonic]

DS2 was my jam for several years when I was burnt out on D2 but still wanted to play an ARPG. I remember not enjoying having to use a party, but I warmed up to it and I really loved the game world. Those were good times.

[MarJin]

my only complaint about this video is that it was too short, as usual✌️😄

[MrDowntemp]

I just learned about some ARPGs I missed out on. Silver Fall. There's a bundle on steam now for two bucks. Would love to see your take on 'em.

How blessed are we to have gotten a Dungeon Siege 2 review by both Seer and Sseth within the span of one day.
