I've got to say that, while I love Dungeon Siege, it has (as far as I can tell) literally zero character development. Still, I can appreciate that Alicia might be trying to promote it even at the expense of anything resembling the truth, it is that damned good. Dungeon Siege 2 is better in many ways, except it lacks something of the grandeur that made the first one special. As far as character development goes, you want console rpgs really. PC ones tend to be a bit weaker in that respect, so FF7, Wild Arms, Grandia, Shadow Hearts spring to mind. PC-wise, Return to Krondor has a tad, and Baldur's Gate 2 has a fair bit. Oh, and I almost forgot; Planescape: Torment has more than any game on any platform ever.
