These are my original Dungeon Siege screenshots from 2005

120 old-school Dungeon Siege screenshots survived through the ages and various hard drives and made it to the current era. Can you believe that?! 264 MBs of .bmp images made it to the present day from 2005! And I figured I'd present to you the only screenshots I have from my early gaming days.

Naturally, I had to transform them into .jpgs; otherwise, they would have made this page load too slowly. Also on the matter, consider that 120 images would have been too many. So I pruned them a little and cut out the redundant ones. Anyway, it was quite the mental exercise to see how I played back then. But somehow I don't have the final screens for my main character, the one with the best items and stats. Huh! How the hell did I miss that?!

The need to document everything

I used to write on pieces of paper at the end of any RPG I played through all the items I had at the end: the class, stats, and specs. It was all written down! Too bad I don't have them anymore. That would have made for some amazing nostalgic notes.

I remember a close friend seeing these screenshots back in the day and saying, 'Wow, this looks like something that should be in a gaming magazine'. It felt nice! 😊Well, they made it into this gaming-oriented article, so that's something!

These screens will also probably blow your mind when you realize I have forced every recruited party member to use bows. Regardless of their class! That meant they had some catching up to do, naturally. But I made sure they all had the best items. And any new upgrade on my main character would trickle down a domino effect of upgrades on all the rest. That's because the current item my main had would go to my second-best character. And so on and so forth. Fun times! I played it on easy that first time around, mind you. So that's why there are huge amounts of gold at the end.

Lastly, it's laughable to see that with the gear I put on them, they looked like such doofuses and goofs. 😂So, please enjoy these eighty-plus 2005 Dungeon Siege screenshots in their fabulous 1024x768 pixel resolution.
