Should Bethesda make an Arcanum sequel?

Arcanum: New Tarant?

Arcanum: Rise of the Black Mountain Clan

The reality is games got easier and more accessible as the average age of gamers got older. Don't blame the teens and definitely don't blame the kids.

Bethesda need to try their hand at developing something new. I would never support Bethesda spreading its incompetence to places where people who have worked hard on their own IPs (and that includes Elder Scrolls from the former Bethesda group. The current group has no entitlement beyond the legalities). They can do nothing but bad to any existing setting.

If they can't do that, then they are past their expiration date.
Zenimax needs to assimilate.

Obsidian might and I say this very cautiously, MIGHT have the story telling chops to do so, but after Oblivion and FO3 I'd think the best you could hope for from Bethesda is that they just piss on Arcanum instead of pissing, shitting, and busting a load on it.

I don't know, man. Everyone has limits. For instance, I couldn't possibly play one of those grid-based first person rpgs. I'm sure that includes some great games. The idea is just fire to my mind. I can't stand that sort of interface.

So consolefags don't want to play bland-looking isometric rpgs. I can understand it.

And download the manual( playmaster's guide), you'll need some paper with a grid and a pencil, read the manual to figure out what party you want to build and read the rules, map the dungeon as you go, it will feel rewarding, you'll thank me later.

Alright fine, I'll try it.

IMO iIt will not generate any income for Beth .
The strengths of Arcanum are not that appealing for the new generation .

 

[Jools]

Nope. The mere thought of Beth doing a sequel to a Troika game should be considered a crime against humankind.

 

[Kattze]

Maybe Bethsoft can make something, just for the lulz-worthy and cringe-worthy dialogue AKA mudcrabs and other retarded shit.

On the other hand, another great classic will be consoletarded and dumbed down for masses.

 

[Gobbo]

Bethesda should not even touch their own IP let alone anything done by other people.

 

[Kaldurenik]

No... I enjoyed the game... I would not want it to be dumbed down =/
