The caption for that Dungeon Siege III screenshot, which was just released today, is “Uhh, stuff happens”. <\/p>\n

That’s pretty much what you get when you tap the screenshot button at some random moment in an effects-heavy action game. If you look closely at that screenshot, you’ll see, like, gnomes or goblins among whatever spell is popping off. Summon Orange, I think it’s called.<\/p>\n

I’m really looking forward to Dungeon Siege III, which will be out on May 31. Certainly not because of these screens or this trailer<\/a>. In fact, in spite of them. The appeal of Dungeon Siege III for me is that I want to find out what’s next from the developer of Alpha Protocol and Fallout: New Vegas. Where do you go from there? <\/p>\n

After the jump, a few more glimpses at where you go from there<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>“Aren’t they supposed to be higher up in the air? Are they supposed to be seeing us up close like this?”
\n
\n
\n<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Dungeon Siege III will answer difficult questions such as, “Are two one-headed ogres worse than one two-headed ogre?”<\/p>\n
