Games with similar level-up system as Dungeon Siege?

[wahoyaho]

Wondering if anyone has come across something similar

Not in a hack'n'slash. In fact, not in many RPG's either. The Elder Scrolls games have you use skills to level up instead of gaining XP, but they dont require kills. In Dungeon Siege you only get skill improvment through kills.

 

[wahoyaho]

Not in RPGs so, in other genres? Like what?

Space Seige.

Space Seige.

I played Space Seige, only a decent game at best. I have not seen it for sale in a long time. Might be worth if if you can find it under 10.00.

Knights of the Old Republic?

Knights of the Old Republic?

Ummmmm, no not even close. KOTOR is D20 rules which is basically D&D 3rd edition. You kill things and complete quests to get set XP and then level up just like you always have in Dungeons N Dragons.

I only played Dungeon Siege 2, but I thought that was how it worked

 

[shortylickens]

Yeah Dungeon Siege 2 was a lot different. I dunno why they changed it up.

The level-up system in Dungeon Siege 1 was the only strong point in the entire game.


I think one or maybe both of the old Dungeon Master games might have had a level-up like Dungeon Siege where a character would get better at certain things through doing them rather than assigning them more points. I recall that you would gain improvement in skills through repetition, but I don't remember if that was the entire skill progression system or whether it was in addition to traditional level ups.

Crackdown would give you skills for kills, but that is console.

Final Fantasy II

I actually have already played and finished space siege

 

[Schadenfreude]

Fallout series comes to mind.
