What do you think the new race in the DS2 Expansion will be? Dwarves? Undead (skeletons)? Droog? Something similar to the Utreans? Something animal like (think Hassats...)? ...or something completely different? Cool

Lets hear some speculation folks. Laughing out loud

Krug! Bring back Krug! Laughing out loud Darn creatures its amazing the learned how to cast magic.
I would like to see dwarfs again, and the Hassat in a more civialzed manner. The Hassat were just joining together as a race in DS so.Eveloution wise id like to see how their doing.Also, in the expansion maybe some new races.(Use your imagination)

Dwarves, Utraeans or Seck would make sense (sort of), but I'm all for a hassat-type creature. Maybe a wolf version Smile

Well, Seck would be cool considering they were the mondo bad guys in DS1 who I still find awesome. Also they were Zaurumask's henchmen, so I'd think they'd be a given.

Weren't the Seck a creation of GOM...? :?

Anyways, for a playable race I fully expect that it will be dwarves, since a lot of the art assets already exist (from DS1), but I could be wrong (and I hope I am). To fit with the DS2 story it would have to be something that could theoretically share bloodlines with a human (bit of a spoiler for DS2... :oops: ), so that kills any thoughts of undead (skellies / demons...). I'm hoping for a race that includes new male and female characters, but something with new character models too (not just new skins like Utreans...).

Dwarves would make the most sense, or a race from DS1, and as to the seck, I remember reading something, I'm not sure where (I think it might have been in the beta), about "Seck armies at the battle on the plain of tears"- that being the battle that gave the plain of tears its name.

it will be dwarves..

From Chris taylor in a interview at firingsquad:

Quote:

FiringSquad: What can you tell us about the now officially announced Dungeon Siege II expansion pack?

Chris Taylor: The Dungeon Siege II expansion pack, Broken World will add a new Act and completes the original story from Dungeon Siege II. The pack includes new monsters, boss fights, sets and unique items, and of course the two new classes Blood Assassin and Fist of Stone, each with new skills and powers. We also made numerous enhancements to the game including the addition of the Dwarves as a playable race and more pets to train. We really pushed the pack to jam in as much as we could, so everyone would get tons more gameplay, regardless of their skill level and whether they played the original or not.

No. If you followed the DSII storyline closely, you'd find that the Seck were minions of Zauramask. I assume Gom was the general of them. I believe you can hear this story from where I deduced this on the tree-grove pad that has the Inn in Eirulan in DSII. Someone around the inn says it. I think it's on the story about that lady, forgot her name. Began with an "X".
