I've owned Dungeon Siege for a while, but have not devoted much time to it due in part to the fact that it's ugly and slow on my computer.
It is entertaining and all, but if they were looking to kill Diablo, they failed miserably. You don't even do much actual game-playing; you click on things and your character does the rest. It's kind of like me playing a city simulator and clicking on a tree to watch the area around it unfold into a sprawling empire, except maybe not quite that hands-off. My point is, I'm not incredibly fond of it. Supposedly they're fixing this problem in the sequel, and I look forward to seeing what solutions they may offer.
If you enjoy Dungeon Siege, though, I think you would love Guild Wars. I had the opportunity to try it recently, and I enjoyed it quite a bit. Admittedly, the combat is similar to Dungeon Siege in that you click on something once and your character does a lot of the dirty work from there (with the added interactivity of you being able to cast spells in the meantime), but there is something about the game - I'm not sure what - that managed to capture my interest and not let go until I got disconnected 3 1/2 hours later. So try Guild Wars. I believe you'd enjoy it.
