The forest in Dungeon Siege is an annoying area to get through. With all the trees around, it can be really hard to see where you're going and tougher still to go after enemies that aren't on the main path. Especially the archers. I'm just glad the game has a quick save feature...

I did a little side quest which involved fighting the bandit boss in his hideout. Got a couple nice treasures there, but nothing the characters in my party can equip right now.

After that, I finished the Forest and reached a swamp area. Finally some open spaces to explore.

The game is getting more challenging overall... I wish I had another warrior character right now because of that. Mages in this game, aside from their ability to heal, are less than spectacular IMO.
