DS II: Broken Worlds Hands On @ Gamespot

Gamespot editors had a chance to sit down and get a good firsthand look at the upcoming Dungeon Siege 2 expansion, Broken Worlds. The expansion is due out in August and they had this to say:

While the series has shifted publishers, from Microsoft to 2K Games, Gas Powered remains at the development reins, and the Dungeon Siege team has packed this expansion with all sorts of content geared toward fans of the series, as well as fans of role-playing games in general. Broken World promises lots of high-level content to enjoy, and don't worry if you didn't play or finish Dungeon Siege II, because you'll be able to select from a list of premade characters, which will let you jump into the expansion directly. Meanwhile, if you have an existing Dungeon Siege II character, you can transfer him or her to the expansion for new challenges.
