All About Arcanum

[Bulderbak]

Now that's what I call good news. A new UAP version would also be cool.

 

[UniversalWolf]

I'm on the bandwagon for this.

6 USD? that's a steal... if i didn't already own it twice, i'd buy it.

I guess I've got no excuse to not finally play Arcanum now.

A game worth paying for. And again. And again.
I never get tired of busting NPC's house door with a Pyrotechnic Axe

 

[rcorporon]

I had found the character creation in that game very confusing.

You cannot escape us this time!

PS: patch patch patch!

 

[Arr0nax]

Hope a patched Vampires will make it into their offer too !!!

 

[Daimyo]

Installing for the first time now - can't wait to get started

Edit: Got it off www.gog.com by the way.

Any patches that are a "must have" from the start?

 

[Ausdoerrt]

All of them ^___^ No really, the game's as buggy as all other Troika releases. Unless you want to hit your game on the wall regularly, install latest UAP right away.

High-res pack also recommended.

Having a profound aversion for fantasy settings in general I couldn't stand this game when it just came out. Now I decided to give it another 'go' and I must say I am quite enjoying the experience this time. Having just arrived at Tarrant and feeling a bit overwhelmed by the myriad of possibilities is a welcome change in these barren times of popcorn gaming. Witnessing my party getting slain by a gang of gorillas was another highlight.

Yeah, it's a cool setting. Personally I wish there had been even less fantasy stuff and more tech, but it's still a refreshing change.

Not to mention that the parts of the world where Magic dominates have a way more shallow story and look like they have been rushed (which is probably the case)

 

[TheRatKing]

ahhh Arcanum. Possibly my favorite RPG setting of all time. The towns felt so alive.

Well, because, coincidentally, you don't really hit the magic-dominated places until late in the game, so yeah, they were likely rushed. The Elven city was farely well-done though, I thought.
