Like Geralt and Alvin in the Witcher?
Not a terrible idea. The PC is usually the babby who gets lectured on by everyone else in the world, even though he's also usually more capable than them all. It's nice when he gets to teach and explain things to other characters.
The lab wouldn't be there anymore by the time you go back to it. The documents would be exposed as forgeries. The skulls would go missing or you'd wake up in a ditch. Bates would mysteriously have no time for you anymore and law enforcement would probably want you on murder charges and so on.
I wouldn't be surprised if the entire island had sunk by the time you try to get there. It's just that kind of thing. You know? It's a "mood" they were aiming for. The player is supposed to feel annoyed and powerless. He's supposed to try to go from NPC to NPC, trying to somehow finish this, clear this up. And then he's supposed to be disappointed. They attained their goal with flying colors.
It's this asking for resolutions and closure that can really ruin what was otherwise a nice effect. Some questions are just meant to remain open. It's a story-telling tool that has been used since times immemorial.

And that's probably my main beef with Arcanum....all have good alignment...
How do I anti-brofist?
Edit:
If you can't realize that "mood" is a huge part of what makes a good game great you're really missing out.
What? I think I'm missing out on some juicy info here. What happened?nor will we know why MCA attacked Elzair at DragonCon
See Morrowind quest involving clicking on several activators scattered all over the gameworld.That's true. Mood is a part of good quest design.
That describes basically all Morrowind's quests.See Morrowind quest involving clicking on several activators scattered all over the gameworld.That's true. Mood is a part of good quest design.

Arcanum apologists gonna apologize...
Oh and in typical Arcanum fashion, you really can't even try doing anything. Can't raise ruckus, can't take allies with you to the Island, no nothing. You can always just massacre the gnome - but if I recall correctly, the gnomes all have good alignment so you take alignment hits for it. The only reason you can't do anything with it is because the game said so and because it wasn't actually finished on release, so they accidentally a quest resolution.
What, the simplest explanation is that they forgot to finish a quest and it randomly made sense unfinished?
Herostratus tells it like it is, instead of the other apologetic faggotry going on here, explaining away what was most probably just an oversigt or lack of completion. The most simple explanation is often the correct one.
