B. Installing Dungeon Siege II Trial Version

To install the Dungeon Siege II Trial Version, insert the disc into your DVD drive and follow the instructions that appear on the screen.

C. DirectX Troubleshooting

To play the Dungeon Siege II Trial Version, DirectX 9.0c or later must be installed on your computer. If you do not have DirectX 9.0c, you can allow Dungeon Siege II to install it for you when you install the game, or you can download the latest version from Microsoft.com.

D. Differences Between the Trial and Retail Versions

The Trial Version of Dungeon Siege II contains only a limited portion of the single player version of the game (up to the Elven Shrine area). In the Retail Version, your adventure will continue well beyond this area.

In the Retail Version, you can also play the same adventure in multiplayer using a party you've created in the single player version of the game. For those who master the entire game in either single player or multiplayer mode, you can replay at the higher levels of Veteran and Elite. You can play multiplayer through Mercenary, Veteran, and Elite as many times as you want, and in any order, assuming you have gained access to the Veteran and Elite levels. You can reset the world state at any time in multiplayer, which gives you maximum flexibility in gaming choices with other players (for example, replay your favorite areas).

The demo had dialogue that was kind of corny, but it was an enjoyable experience nonetheless. I should perhaps finish it all the way before offering a hard opinion, though.

NOTE: It's on the September 2005 issue of PC Gamer US, for those that want a quicker download.

Yey! I'm a big fan of Dungeon Siege.

i played the mp beta which if u hosted on lan you could get as far as this single plyr demo which is a bit strange

Ugh, I couldn't get past the install. I executed the install file, then I have no idea what it does but it does a good job of devouring all my PC's resources.

Since it was doing that and taking over 5 minutes to go, I took a nap. Came back an hour later, and it asked me where I want to unzip it to. I gave it a folder, and it _slowly_ started to unzip some files.

Waited a minute or two, and figured that at the speed the progress bar was going I'll be spending more time waiting for it to install than playing it.

1.5 gigs for a short demo with a convoluted installer isn't very smart.

Man

since when did 3d Gamers force registration?

Fuck...
