To kick off Pax East 2011, we're going to share ton of details about the co-op mode in upcoming RPG Dungeon Siege 3, and it sounds really amazing. Here's an overview of the multiplayer in video form:
If you click the "Read More" tag, you'll find some of the most interesting new Dungeon Siege 3 co-op info in helpful, bullet-pointed form.
- All the characters work well together. Mix 'em up for endless varieties of ways to defeat the various baddies you’ll come across in DSIII.
- Lucas is primarily a tank, best at close combat. One of those is shield bash, which can stun enemies.
- Anjali has two stances, one suitable for melee (human form) and another for ranged attacks (her spirit form). If Lucas stuns an enemy, Anjali can come up on the enemy/enemies and attack via melee or ranged combat.
- You can revive fallen comrades, Left 4 Dead style. If you both (or all) die, you’ll be taken back to the last save point.
- There are certain achievements and trophies that can only be unlocked in multiplayer mode.
- While the host player makes all of the choices in conversations, there is a voting system where other players can mark what their votes for courses of action are. There are various achievements/trophies for going with/against the party.
- Pressing up on the D-Pad will always help players out if they get lost, creating a breadcrumb trail to follow (can be turned off/on) so long as the quest is tracked (you can do this from the equip menu)
With the wealth of interesting, sword-and-sorcery RPGs on the horizon, is Dungeon Siege on your "gonna play" list?

So I am new to all of this but i love the multiplayer games. My husband and i play together. Love the Champions of Norath, Baulders Gate, and Dark Kingdom. Every thing i am hearing or reading about this game makes me feel it is an online multie player game. My question about this game is....is this a 2 player on one console or a multi co op player online. We have PS3 and a lot of the RPG games play online. I am not a fan of that myself. Would love to know if this is a single player at home or a 2 - 4 player on our console. If anyone knows....please let me know. Thanks:)

No, simply because i try to avoid games that have multiplayer achievements that don't have an offline/single player equivalent. Some times i just want to kick back and not have to worry about someone else's drama.

I'd probably be interested in this game, until I see Obsidian is involved.
No thanks.

Definetly on my "gonna play" list, passed on DA2 and this was the next on my horizon (this is actually closer of my DA2 expections, but enough about that).
Even if all else fails, the comeback of 'couch co-op' will redeem it from any short comings. It's been so long since i've seen a game incorperate that, let alone in a dungeon crawler RPG.

this vid brought back a lot of champions of norrath memories for me..

I read "D-pad" will this game be on consoles as well? I always thought Dungeon Siege was a PC franchise.

This looks great. Even if it sucked I'd still have to play it because, unlike last gen, these games are sadly few and far between.
