Dungeon Siege vs Pillars of Eternity
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.
Pillars of Eternity
Pillars of Eternity is a fun adventure/dungeon crawler-like game that sets you on a journey across a rich fantasy realm with your group of companions as you search for monster-filled dungeons to raid and get treasures from. Experience a gameplay that's similar to many of the classic RPGs you've known and loved. You'll even get to play as one of eleven classes ranging from the Cipher to the Rogue; and as one of six races including unique ones like Aumaua, Godlike and Orlan.The best part in this game is definitely the part where every action you make will have consequences and every faction you ally yourself to will affect the path of your overall narrative. This offers up plenty of possibilities for players to enjoy the game again and again.
Despite being an indie game, Pillars of Eternity has enjoyed success after success since its successful funding at Kickstarter and honestly, we think it deserves all the good things that are going its way. The game is simply a brilliant masterpiece that pays homage to classic RPGs and well, the dev team is amazing as well.
