1 felt more open and 2 feels more linear, but the gameplay is pretty good in both. If you play for the story go for the second, otherwise I would recommend the 1st one!

Both are great and nearly free... why not both of them?

There is only Dungeon Siege. Don't buy anything with a number attached to it.

Dungeon Siege only because of the lack of functional multi-player in DS2, in my opinion both games are equal in terms of gameplay and content.

All depends on ones likes and dislikes.
Played both games a lot back then, but definately liked DS1 more. Had its special charme, that GPG sadly cut off in part 2 instead on focusing on it.
Too bad steam still doesn't offer the addons. Legends of Aranna and Broken World hugely improve gameplay.

Definitely the first series of games through Lands of Arrana (which is very nice). I've got both currently installed and, imo, GPG went steadily downhill with the series (last one, DS2: Broken World, wasn't even a GPG game) since DS1:LoA. Actually GPG did not do *either* expansion, either LoA or BrokenWorld...! So, the whole DungeonSiege franchise went downhill after the first game--which is really a shame since it was so good.

Two things really suck in DS2, imo. You can only have one save game at a time...and it's apparently tied to some kind of checkpoint save system--for consoles, I imagine. That is supremely annoying. Now to be fair, I'm using the Legendary Mod for DS2/Broken World to replay DS1: LoA...and I've now completely switched back to the original game. With some .ini work, I'm running LoA @ 1920x1200 (in Win10TPx64) and some camera mods that remove the fuzzy Fog of War--push it way out--and the game looks 95% as good as DS2's newer engine revision renders.

If you have to choose between them, then my advice is buy DS1 & the LoA expansion. Use Bing or Google to find *tons* of good/helpful mods made for DS1 & LoA, too! DS2's lousy save-game system really, really turns me off.
