Slowing down Arcanum.

[Dracon M'Alkir]

Hey guys, is it possible in any form to slow down Arcanum?

The gameplay seems too fast-paced for me, wolves and other creatures manage to fly across the screen within seconds, getting into point blank distance of me (thus triggering turn based combat) - but this makes all of the advantages of having ranged weapons/magic pretty much useless - if I can't kill anything at range (before it gets to me).

I really don't feel like playing 'twitch' gameplay with spells, as I want this game to be classical PnP - they have all the D&D classes, plenty of skill sets, spells, etc.. so why are the combat animations so horrendously fast?

Thanks in advance.

You could set the combat mode to 'turn-based'.

It already is on 'turn-based', the only problem is that the game itself doesn't go into turn based combat until a creature is directly next to me. I want to be able to utilize my ranged attacks in turn based combat BEFORE the creature ends up directly in front of me.

Initiate combat?

Edit: Turns out "R" initates combat and thus solves my problem.

Damn, I feel like a retard right now.

Well, time to go play Arcanum anyway.
