I intend to prepare and upload most of the supplementary sections seperately to the main walkthrough, though all these supplements will still be in the main walkthrough when it is published. I have now uploaded the first section of the Dungeon Siege walkthrough, this is the guide showing the locations of the various Incantation Shrines, as I have noticed that this data is conspicuous by it's absence.
The Set Items section is now complete, and uploaded, though there may well be modifications in the future. As far as a lisiting of all the Transporters is concerned - a map is impracticable, since some of the transporters and portals are underground or inside buildings - this is now under way, I am giving as good a description as possible as to the location of each.
I have begun work on the notes for the actual walkthrough, and have decided to put the Books and Chant Locations in one section. At the moment, I haven't decided what to do with respect to the Ghostly Spirits, there ae only 18 of them, and I could either put them in the walkthrough only (they do form part of one of the secondary quests - the "Spirits of Aranna Quest", put them in their own seperate guide or both.
I do intend though to put a listing up there for the Quests, similar to the one I did in my Bloodmoon Walkthough, I did it this way so you could tick off whch quests were actually completed, this gave you an idea of what needed to be finished.

I have altered the Incantation Shrine Locations (it includes all the portals as well), and re-published it, it should be easier to follow now, I will place all the Ghostly Spirits in one guide, they form one of the secondary quests in Act II after all. With respect to the books, I think that I will put them in with the Incantation Shrine Locations guide, and make one guide using both.

I found out the other day that the Incantation Shrine Locations - part of the set of Incantations Shrines & Books - is incomplete. Please accept my apologies, and rest assure that the corrections ARE in hand. The problem arose because I was working from memory when I compiled the listing, and unfortunately I missed some of the shrines near Snowbrook Haven. However, I am going to wait until I get to the end of the level before publishing it again, in order to avoid the mistake. At the same time I am working on a transporter and portal listing (that's how I discovered the missing Shrines), this will NOT be ready very soon but I can assure you that it WILL be complete.
Unless someone can tell me how to check the DS 2 Cut Scenes, I am at a loss. I have the main programme - the game, I also have the DS 2 Toolkit v1.1 and the "Bink & Smacker" programme I was told I would need. There is a problem though, I do NOT put any games into C:\Program Files; instead they go to my D drive, to D:\Games. If anyone has come across this, please contact me via this link.

I think that the Incantation Shrine Locations is now complete, however, I am reluctant to send this back to the 'net, since I am continually monitoring it, and this way if there are any other alterations to be made, I can make them. At the moment I have got to Vix's Vengeance i the Mines of Kaderak, part 2; fortunately I THINK there are no more alterations needed for the Incantation Shrine Locations, but we'll see. At the same time I'm working on the Portal and Teleporter section, that is complete - and corect at the moment - as of the Lower Mines of Kaderak Teleporter. If memory serves, there are only three portals and one more teleporter between here and the top of Zaramoth's Horns.

Now all this has resolved itself, and this set of data SHOULD be posted to the 'net reasonably soon. I would like to post the books section as well as the Spirits of Aranna and the Henchmen and Pets sections as soon as possible as well and to make every one happy, a list of ALL the various quests, along with their aims and special requirements.

Ouch. The whole system has just crashed, hopefully without losing any of my work, and most is backed up anyway.

I spoke too soon, ALL my saves are gone. As it was I've had to start all over again - at least I've been able to go over the very first section, now I'll have to work through the game again, so I won't be updating this again for some time.

I've got everything back - I think. The walkthrough is ready in the main, though some of the maps remain to be completed. At the same time I'm getting all of the various appendices ready as well, so hopefully they should all appear more or less together. The idea behind this is whilst there will be a brief summary appendix in the walkthrough, the full appendix is going to appear either as a seperate fileor two or three of the appendices in the same file. I'm hoping to have everything ready in the next few weeks so I will upload the data all at once. As far as the maps are concerned, that won't be too much of a problem, as I can get at the various maps and build them up, to be introduced into files I have, so all that will be needed is the main walkthrough updating.
