Baldur's Gate vs Dungeon Siege 3
Baldur's Gate
Baldur's Gate is an age-old RPG/dungeon crawler that has captivated the hearts of many. Originally released back in 1998, Baldur’s Gate is possibly the very first RPG that has paved the way to the emergence of some of the more modern titles like the Dungeon & Dragons computer game franchise. The game is played in a pretty much team-based fashion where you will get to recruit heroes to your team and lead them into dungeons and other dangerous places in the Sword Coast to fight a wide variety of monsters in hopes of getting more loot... and of course the truth behind the sinister forces that are at work fuelling the tension that is about to break into an all-out war.This enhanced edition of the game also include a nice upgrade to its graphics (but don't expect visuals like The Witcher 3 though) and over 400 tweaks to improve the game experience overall. It also contain new adventures, characters and voice acting for the characters. The game even added in multiplayer support so you can play this game with your friends online!
Baldur's Gate is possibly the "father of all modern RPGs" and if you're curious how this timeless RPG can give birth to other epic RPGs or if you're simply nostalgic, you can get the game at a modest price on Steam and on your mobile devices.
Dungeon Siege 3
Dungeon Siege 3 is the third installment of the popular dungeon crawling game, Dungeon Siege. Unlike its previous games, the game deviates from its usual formula and provide players with a lot more flashy action as well as an amazing skill set along with tactical dodges, blocks and buffs. With drastically improved graphics, everything in the game looks and feels a lot immersive. The storyline in this game, where you play the leader of the remaining band of Legionnaires, is quite decent as well albeit a bit generic (the usual "save the world from evil" sort).However, like many have noted, plenty of its features fall a bit short despite the attempt to innovate the franchise. There are just scores of other games at this point that have done everything it tries to do with much better success. In fact, many have bemoaned the fact that the Dungeon Siege series has been ruined by this latest sequel. Whether this is true or not for you, we can't really say, but if you're still interested to try this game out, do go ahead. Well, the game at least have a co-op mode now though.
