DS1 & LoA General Discussion

dungeonsiege.fandom.com had a "Dungeon Siege history" page not long ago, does anyone know where it's gone?
Instead I found a "Timeline" page: https://dungeonsiege.fandom.com/wiki/Timeline
Is this a successor? Does the information provided look legit & in sync with canon?

When weapons says "Increases melee damage vs undead + ...", it means only vs undead, but when equip, it grows the damage displayed.

Is it a bug that increases also the damage vs all? Or only is vs undead but badly displayed?

When I destroy a barrel or box, and drops nothing (and knowing that you can't reroll the lot as in other games, apparently the price is set up when the container is generated), I have been reloading and leaving those containers untouched, to give to the world a bit more 'life' when I return.

But now I'm afraid that could be harmful for an ARPG in which is supposed you will destroy all what you can. Leaving containers untouched may increases the size of the save file, or worse, causes bug when you are enough far in the game?

To avoid crashes on load a savegame after removing some mods, I’m planning to uninstall all, and reinstall it without LoA, the only mod I want is High Resolution Textures (and probably See Far, and some other with visuals, only if they don’t corrupt a savegame when I remove them).

My question is what I would miss in Kingdom of Ehb campaign only. Like additional interface functions, missing dialogues, bugfixes, etc.

First of all, congratulations for the forum! 18 years after and the game still relevant.

My question: How to display the world map?

At the bottom right, is the only icon in gray, can't activate it.

I have DS1, the GOG version, with LOA "dropped" into (since is not on the market, I've downloaded from somewhere, don't remember now, it is a .zip with files to drop on the installation folder). I've made the same question in GOG forums.

Today I uploaded a new mod called "SeeFar2020". This is a compilation of modifications for Dungeon Siege and Legends Of Aranna that increase the draw distance, add more camera control options, add support for more resolutions, fix 3D character preview in inventory and slightly increase the default font size.

This is basically an updated version of the "SeeFarLOA" mod released in 2004, with several other improvements.

I stumbled across this interesting post at Moddb. An individual called AntonioR has taken the time to create and upload high resolution textures for the game. You can check them out here. The screenshots show quite a difference in detail and overall quality.
