Broken World starts off right after the uber-twist at the end of Dungeon Siege II, a twist -- for the edification of those not fearful of spoilers -- that leaves your character thinking he has saved the world, only to discover he has unleashed a terrifying cataclysm unto all of the land. We are told you will spend about 10 hours hacking and slashing your way through environments both new and old that visually reflect the catastrophe's events, as you do your damnedest to rectify the situation into which you have thrust the world. The Familiars, an evil race hell-bent on eradicating the elves, has teamed up with the Overmage in Cinibri City. Not content with simple domination, they have dispersed Familiar surgeons throughout the land to "restructure" the races into armies of bound foot soldiers, many of which you will have to wade through in order to get to Cinibri City and its inhabitants.
