Dungeon Seige Q&A

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)


Posted by: Ion Silverbolt

Gamespy has some more questions answered about Dungeon Seige by some Gas Powered Games employees. In this edition, they focus on the details of magic use in the game.

GameSpy:
Traditionally in CRPGs there is a division between those that can cast spells and those that cannot. Does Dungeon Siege allow a pure melee fighter to cast a spell or two here and there?

Gas Powered Games:
As much as that tradition sounded like fun, we think it is more fun to give you choices. Naturally you have to develop these magic-casting skills, so there are still important decisions to make while playing. It is very possible to have a fighter develop enough magic skill to heal others, and themselves included, but it is also possible to use one-shot magic scrolls that do not require a magic skill. If a fighter continues to use a simple spell, you may actually find that they develop enough skill to affect their class, which may be surprising, but it serves as a reminder that to keep a character class pure; you should keep the characters developing the same skill. All of this is entirely up to you!

Read more about magic use in this upcoming Action-Role Playing game from here.

And in case you missed part 1, you can get to that from here. Part 1 covers many different aspects of combat within the game.
