New to Dungeon Siege II is a branching skill tree allowing players to customize their heroes as they get deeper and deeper into the adventure. More importantly, they've added what are called "Powers" to the equation. These are over-the-top special abilities that can only be used sparingly, but can completely turn the tide of a battle. Knowing Taylor's penchant for taking gameplay to the extreme, we're expecting the hero powers to involve ridiculous carnage, destruction, and special effects.
