I know I haven't been contributing much lately, and now I feel I might not be logging in so very often. My Dad is in the hospital with pulmonary embolism (a fancy way of saying blood clot in the lung). He is responding well to treatment so hopefully he can go home soon, but I gotta say I am feeling pretty frazzled.

I was reading the DS1 Legendary Map Pack Forum and bare_elf talked about maybe adding a female dwarf to the game. Now we all know why there are no female Half Giants and why there are no male Dryads. However there are several references to Female Dwarves in both broken world and in Dungeon Siege 1, if one listens to the characters talk and reads the back stories of the games. Now bare_elf said that she could make a female head for the regular dwarf be it ds1 or ds2. Now since we have never seen a female dwarf it might be that they are not ugly short people.

Since I have finished most of the maps in the Legendary Map Pack while using the Adepts Mod (Cat Mansion Characters). I thought it would be a good idea to run all the maps at least once with standard characters.

So I am back in EHB somewhere in the depths of Wesrin Cross. So far I have not found any errors with quests, characters, and other things. It is a bit weird playing with standard characters because I hate the way they run with a bow or a staff. If real people ran that way they would fall over their weapons. Anyway here are a few screen shots.

1. Hardware issues that prevent any and all versions of the game from working with windows 7 and the solutions to same.
2. Hardware issues that prevent any and all versions of the game from working with windows 8 and the solutions to same.
3. System Configurations the work with either OS and all of the games.

Once we have a sizeable list we can create a wiki so that people can find solutions.

I took these screen shots using the new computer. Legendary Map Pack. Kingdom of Ehb Map.

...and a Merry Christmas...

Better late than never, right?

Here's hoping for a prosperous and healthy New Year for everybody.
. Dungeon Siege Holiday attire, well kind of.

I can get tank viewer (the one for DS1) to work just fine. however tank viewer 2 even the one that comes as part of the ds2 tool kit will not run. The original tank viewer can open dsres files just fine but gets an unknown header on ds2res files. If I had a program that would allow me to edit DLL files I am sure I could hack the orignal tank viewer to work cuz someone did it a long time ago.
