Description : The Rumble in the Jungle Continues... Players
return to the world of Aranna and start an all-new
adventure in the Dungeon Siege expansion pack,
an addition to the popular Dungeon Siege PC
title. Players are drawn outside the original
Kingdom of Ehb into the wilds of Aranna to solve
an ancient mystery.
The adventure
reveals the origins, lives and eventual downfall
of the ancient Utraean civilization. Building
on the critically acclaimed gameplay found in
Dungeon Siege, the expansion pack features a
new part of the world to explore, fantastic
creatures to battle, treasures to loot, mysteries
to unlock, weapons to wield, armor for protection
and unique items sets.
Combat & Adventuring
Improved Control Groups Increase the effectiveness
of your party (mages in particular) by using
the improved control groups. In addition to
switching among ten different slot combinations
for your party, you can now use the control
groups to switch instantly among ten different
spells, even if the spells aren't active. Localized
Attacks Avoid accidentally running into the
clutches of a horrid beast by holding down the
SHIFT key when you attack.
This causes your
characters to target the monster closest to
the area where you click (a localized attack).
When no monsters are around, holding down the
SHIFT key will order your characters to break
open the nearest treasure chests.
Multiplayer Save
Experience improved group gameplay. Now each
time you exit a multiplayer game, the journal
state of your character will be saved. Play
through with friends and complete all the quests
together! Overhead Map Fully appreciate the
epic scale of your adventures with the new Overhead
Map.
As you travel
through the world, quests, locations and region
names appear on the map. Off-Screen Attack Warning
Remain alert to the status of fellow party members
through the new off-screen attack warning. If
a party member is under attack out of your view,
their Character Portrait will flash orange,
alerting you to rally to their aid. Group Awareness
Watch properly equipped party members rush to
each other's aid.
Characters you
have not ordered to hold their ground will run
to help if their fellow party members come under
attack. Magic Transformation Spells Change your
magic users into powerful melee combatants with
new Transformation spells. Experience the earthshaking
power of playing as a Rock Beast, or try playing
with the deadly sting of a scorpion.
Unsummon and
Untransform Buttons Cancel Combat spells for
better control. If you are about to head into
battle and your Summon or Transformation spell
is getting close to expiring, use the Unsummon
Monster or Untransform buttons, located in the
Field Commands, to negate the spell.
Recast the spell
and enter battle at full strength. Orb Spells
Cast new Orb spells, which create powerful magical
orbs that revolve around you and automatically
target nearby enemies, thereby leaving your
hands free for melee combat, ranged combat,
or additional spell casting. Glyph Traps Experience
the satisfaction of killing monsters with the
new Glyph spells. Place five to ten Glyphs on
the ground to create a lethal trap, and then
lure monsters to their doom.
