As these games get older it obviously becomes more and more difficult to find original copies in languages other than English.
Dungeon Siege is an action role-playing game developed by Gas Powered Games and published by Microsoft in April 2002, for Microsoft Windows, and the following year by Destineer for Mac OS X.Set in the pseudo-medieval kingdom of Ehb, the high fantasy game follows a young farmer and his companions as they journey to defeat an invading force. Initially only seeking to warn the nearby town of the. Dungeon Siege: Legends of Aranna is the standalone expansion for the original game, Dungeon Siege. It features a new campaign, with minor improvements to the game engine and interface. Chapter 1: Shadows of the Past Arhok. After the introduction you will have the First Trial quest, but not many details about it. Go around to the side of your. Either my browser's screwed up or I'm simply dumb a.f. But I've never even figured out where all that Bonus stuff he talks about actually is. Anyway, the Download Link right under ENABLING LEGENDS OF ARANNA leads to Dungeon Siege I Killah's Steam Fix and at the moment contains only DSLOA files and two optional maps that do no harm whatsoever, nothing else.
So I have decided make a collection of replacement language packages available for download here free of adds, popups and other nasties.
More will be added as we get hold of them.
