Admittedly, I'm not a fan of the standard hack and slash RPG. I'm more interested in the character development of role playing and am more likely to keep playing a game for the storyline than the hack and slash action. As such, I never played the first Dungeon Siege and wasn't a big fan of the Diablo series. So having to check out Dungeon Siege 2 wasn't the most exciting hands on I've had to do, but hey, how can you argue with a best seller in the genre?
