While I agree that Arcanum's combat isn't good, I'll never understand the codex' extremely negative view of it. There's worse in even overall decent games.
My first playthrough of Arcanum was with a firearm build, and I even played the entire game in RT. I remember thinking it was so chaotic, I can't even click on enemies early on. Still didn't think it was so bad once I got used to it.
I think it's bad but no so bad it ruins the game. RT is hectic and insane but I mostly used it for trash mobs. TB was underdeveloped but maybe passable. The game excelled in so many other areas I could look past the combat.
