The Dryads of Dungeon Siege II

1Up has published a new article that offers a closer look at the Dryads of Gas Powered Games' Dungeon Siege II. A snippet:
In Dryad religion (though "religion" is used very loosely, as there are no organized group rituals), the primary deities are water spirits. Dryads themselves are naturally attracted to water in any form -- the more turbulent that form, the better. Thunderstorms, for example, are considered very auspicious, particularly during battle, and they prefer to live near waterfalls, whirlpools, or large bodies of water whenever possible. This may seem odd for tree-dwelling creatures, but it is one of many paradoxes the Dryads embrace. Perhaps their connection with the trees is so complete; it goes down to the roots.
