At a certain point in Dungeon Siege 3, you come across a dead mule. Tired, beaten and worn, it finally collapsed under the weight of heavy armor and weapons loaded onto it by cruel adventurers. In Dungeon Siege, earning the gold to buy a mule was a game-changer, allowing you to finally carry enough junk back to a merchant to earn gold for the good stuff. In Dungeon Siege 2, the mule could become a full member of your party, gaining levels and putting up as good a fight as any elf or human.
In Dungeon Siege 3, the mule is dead. There’s no room for him in your party, which can only comprise two people, your character and one of the other three children of the Legion — the Fighting Tenth Legion, that is. (In multiplayer, you can have up to three friends join in your game).

Daily Blogroll 5/13: Truth in Advertising Edition
One thing you gotta say about Dragon Age Legends: like the single player games upon which its based, in Dragon Age Legends you Get. To. Kill. DRAGONS. (Warning: link goes to Facebook). Unlike, say, Dungeons and Dragons Online, where I have yet to kill a dragon. The one you see in the tutorial is little more than a tease. It’s fighting a mind flayer, though, and we HAVE started killing those in our static group, but the name of the game isn’t Mazes and Mind Flayers Online now, is it?
Mazes, though — we’ve had more than our share of those.
Facebook RPGs like DAL (“The first real game on Facebook“) and Treasure Abyss (“Hey, we were here ages before those guys!”) have kept me sane when I haven’t been able to play any deeper games.
More game stuff after the break.
Dragon Age 2: Money shot
All I hear is people complaining about Dragon Age 2. It’s linear. It isn’t as good as Dragon Age: Origins. Blah blah blah. But you know what’s different — and better — about Dragon Age 2 vs Dragon Age: Origins or Dragon Age: Awakenings? In DA2, you have to decide where you stand on certain … Read more
