New Dungeon Siege III trailer talks up the 10th Legion

Here’s a new trailer for Dungeon Siege III, with animated concept sketches and some gameplay footage. And there’s a dramatic narration about the history of the order to which the player character belongs. It will release on May 31st in North America.

This is a series which I somehow never played, probably due to the setting coming off as fairly standard high fantasy fare. The gameplay appeared palatable enough, though. Is this something I should get myself involved in? And do you think I’ll be okay if I start at the newest entry?
