When done right expansions can add tremendously to a game. Most expansions merely build a bit upon what’s already there, but a few truly stand out of the crowd. Diablo 2: Lord of Destruction was one of those, but Dungeon Siege. Legends of Aranna isn’t. It took Gas Powered Games a very long time to ship Dungeon Siege, a game in many ways comparable with Diablo 2, but this time Mad Doc Software did the development. The storyline revolves around the race called the Utreans, magical artifacts, and a world threatened by evil villains. I don’t think the storyline can get much more generic than this, and I honestly don’t think it’s told and directed very well. Even so, the game places you in Aranna, but before you start you have to create a new character. The storyline in Legends of Aranna isn’t an extension of the old one, but rather a new one, so you can’t import whatever old characters you may have had - everyone starts from scratch.
