*sigh* I've gotten as far as "Stonebridge" before my my stomach, sanity, and love of all good demanded me to quit.

The reasons:

It's painful to play, as click to move is more ergonomical than this controller scheme. The quintesential parts of dungeon siege, the leveling process, customization, and the strategic scale offered by the party system, like a more action packed Baldur's Gate, and oh the dialogues in DS2, the pinnacle of a game engine, were all missing from DS3. Optimization was nonexistent, it made my computer choke on it's video card.

The story? Well, clockpunk stonebridge with "gobbo" stuff, except goblins were different, more practical, and 121% cooler (Total goblinnihilation). Zed's lucky slippers. Some crappy drama and all these "archons" pulled out of their arses being in the center. Yes I know archons were in the original game's files, but they weren't used in the end. And at the end there's a... whatever.

Combat is crappy. Looting is nowhere near as fun as DS1, because the options are so limited. Gear becomes obsolete, change to better, repeat.
i might finish it one day... Smile


That is why most of us still play ds1 and ds2. The legendary mod is a project that a good number of us are working on to move the major DS1 maps to DS2. If you have ds1 and ds2 installed you should check it out. We agree that DS3 is just a mess, but there is no way to mod it to make it better.
