Dungeon Siege Hint - Building a Party

From the start of the game you should consider what your Dungeon Siege party will look like. This is one major aspect that makes this game different from Diablo and similar games. You can try to go it alone, but you will find yourself struggling very quickly if you do.

The first character you will meet in Dungeon Siege is Ulora. She will join your party, and there really isn't a reason to leave her behind.

Now consider what you need in a character to compliment your strengths. If you have been playing a melee fighter, then you will need either an archer or a healer. Ulora's stats are good for either one. If you have been playing an archer then you will need a melee fighter or a healer. Again, Ulora can become whatever you need, but I would recommend using her as a healer or even combat mage in this situation because you will find a better fighter soon.

The idea here is to consider what your party is going to be like. It is highly doubtful that you started of with a character specializing in healing. If you did you have had a rough time. After all it is hard to kill things with cure spells. So be thinking what you want your recruits to do and how they will interact. Choosing someone to compliment your skills is the best way to go.
