Dungeon Siege Hints

Using hot keys

  • It is a very good idea to configure a few hot keys.  This lets you change the way each member of your party works all at once.  You use the CONTROL key with a number key to remember the current configuration, and hit just the number key by itself to recall that configuration.  I recommend that you have one as a configuration where everybody is set with their most aggressive attack.  I put this on the 1 key.  Then, put a configuration with some healing magic active onto 2.  Use this if you are getting hurt too badly in battle, or after the battle is over.  Finally, assign 3 to be as much healing power as you have.  Use this while in retreat if needed.  I recommend that at least half your party be able to use at least some sort of healing skill.

    After each fight, use healing magic to fully cure everybody.  This helps to boost your magical skills, while also keeping you prepared for the next battle.
