Game Over has kicked up a review on Gas Powered Games' recently released Action-RPG, Dungeon Siege II. Walking away with a final score of 80%, this one might be worth checking out! Anyways, here's a bit on character customization:

New in Dungeon Siege II is that there are more ways to customize your character. Some parts of character development are exactly the same; there are still four skill areas (melee, ranged, combat magic, and nature magic) that you build up in exactly the same way (by using skills during combat), but now you also get to select a race for your character, complete with bonuses and penalties, and you get to build up the level of your character. Each time a character gains a level, he or she also gains a skill point, and then the character gets to spend the point on one of 48 different skills, such as “dual wield,” “brilliance,” and “critical strike.” If the character has the right configuration of skills, then he or she might also gain a “power,” which is usually some sort of devastating attack.. For example, melee characters can learn the “brutal attack” power, which allows them to hit for up to 50 times their regular damage.
