Divinity: Original Sin 2 vs Dungeon Siege
Divinity: Original Sin 2
Divinity: Original Sin 2 is the highly anticipated sequel to one of the best most recent classic adventure-RPGs. In this game, you can play as one of six races. In fact, you can create very odd characters, such as a flesh-eating Elf for example, and discover how the world react to you. The game also features the same exciting party-based gameplay where you can forge closer ties with your companions and work with them to use whatever advantage you get, including working the environment to your favor, during one of the game's many turn-based battles. You can play the game with up to 4 players online to enjoy a split-screen multiplayer for even more fun.Divinity: Original Sin 2 is also very encouraging of mods and the mod community in general due to the support added to the game which allows players to easily find fan-made mods that they like as well as to create mods of their own. This definitely adds at least a couple tens of hours on top of what already is a pretty lengthy game.
Dungeon Siege
Dungeon Siege is a classic dungeon crawler that predates the first Torchlight but not the Diablo series. In this game, you play as a humble farmer who sets off across a 3D fantasy world, battling against hordes of enemies as the storyline unfolds. The most interesting part of this game, back in the day, is that it's a dungeon crawling game that is set above ground and surprisingly not in dungeons. In some way, it is more like certain parts of Diablo 2 and also Path of Exile.The game also has an interesting take on loot and inventory management. You'll get a ton of loot as befit a dungeon crawler, but the thing is you have a very limited inventory, even with a pack mule, and no vendors nearby enough to sell your loot to. So, you'll likely end up throwing most stuff on the ground just so you can move on. Dungeon Siege even allows you to assemble up to a party of 8 characters to aid you in your journey.
However, Dungeon Siege is a really old game and as such, the Steam version does have its fair share of glitches. You may experience constant crashes and installation difficulties even if you're running a top-notch desktop set-up. Some players have also mentioned that the ending of the game was cropped off somehow and that this version of the game doesn't include its expansion or a multiplayer option.
All in all, Dungeon Siege is among the top 5 classic dungeon crawlers back in the day and if you are interested to give it a try, you can get the game for as low as $1 during a Steam sale.
