Over at PlanetDungeonsiege, you can find an unofficial Dungeon Siege FAQ. Here is waht it say about the story of Dungeon Siege:
When the game first starts, the Hero is happily chopping wood on their little farm nestled in the mountains," Taylor explains. "These Krug Raiders come charging onto the farm killing everything (the cow and chickens ... yes, the chickens) and attack the Hero. Little do they know this is no ordinary farmer, and slice, chop, hack, down they go!
Unfortunately the Krug have already set fire to the Hero's farmhouse, barn and crops. Nightfall comes, and the Hero, who has had his home destroyed, heads out into the world to seek vengeance... now all they need is some trusty companions and a pack mule! And so the adventure begins."
As they talk to other characters, the player gets a fundamental question answered that they had, but the character will ask a new question like, "Why was our town attacked?" Well, these raiders who attacked us, we don't know why, but you know what's up in the Dwarven gold mines, we know there's an army of them up there, and we don't know what they're doing.
So it answers the question of who attacked the town, but then there's a new question asked: "What are they doing up in that mine?" So you go up to the mine, you adventure, and you destroy, and plunder, you get an answer to the question. You find out why they were in the mine, and then you get a new question asked which takes you to the new part of the game.
The back-story involves the rise of a very powerful entity that is searching the land for all of the most powerful magical artifacts. These will be used to control and enslave all the good races in the world. You, the player, find yourself under attack from a raiding party that is searching for these artifacts and are drawn into the conflict. The rest is a secret! |
