Dungeon Siege Characters - The Fighter

Making a fighter in Dungeon Siege is pretty simple. You pick up a melee weapon, equip it, and then bash stuff in the head with it.

Fighters are fun and easy to play. You just walk around and kill anything you don't like (and even most things you might like).

Fighters develop high strength and high melee combat skills very quickly. They don't do so well with dexterity or intelligence.

Because of their high strength, fighters end up with more hit points than other characters. This is a good thing and means they can last longer in combat. It also means that they are going to get hit a lot more often and will need healing. In all likelihood they will be the most likely to get killed if you aren't careful.

If you do decide to dabble in magic with your fighter, then I recommend nature magic for its buffs and heals, though you will most likely want to recruit a good healer that focuses on healing wind almost exclusively.

Pick any melee weapon you want. Remember that you don't get the protective bonuses of a shield if it is darkened on the inventory screen, but you do get any ability bonuses it provides.

If you like to smash face then a Dungeon Siege fighter is what you want.
