This place has a thread with those talking/commenting anime “girls” so I guess anything goes now...

I wish we had more 3/10s games like Temple of Elemental Evil.

Everyone played the game for the combat not really for the campaign, which is the opposite of Arcanum.

ah that's why i fucking hate arcanum, couldn't put my finger in on it

 

[Viata]

i wish there was a mod which cut 90% of arcanum's combat.

Never expected a codex user to ask for a "skip to cutscene" button.

First time interacting with StOrYfAgGoTs?

I usually tend to forget those people exist.

[__scribbles__]

please, could you remind me the exact number of fights and goblins you have to kill in the first dungeon?

There isn't a "first dungeon" in Arcanum. Shrouded Hills mine maybe if you count optional side areas.

I actually really like this song.

Hell, Arcanum's soundtrack in general is a fave of mine.

The game is a fucking masterpiece. ToEE too. Bloodlines isn't peak Renaissance perhaps, but it's still solid. This was like a company which managed to satisfy both combat fags (through ToEE) and story fags (through Arcanum). KotC 2 might be neck and neck with ToEE, but Arcanum still hasn't been surpassed like Jarlo says.

 

[Shaki]

Arcanum is the best storyfag game ever made.
ToEE is in top 5 of the best combatfag games ever made.
Troika is the best RPG developer that ever existed, no contest.
OP is retarded.

Arcanum combat system is bad, but if you're using harm, you can use the magic staves, they've got some mana on them, and you can switch those staves to get infinity fatigue. Well, you might need a couple of them, but, still.

The game is a fucking masterpiece.

The game is still largely unfinished, even with mods, the combat is bad whether magic or tech. Tech especially is very annoying as guns consume insane amount of ammunition, so you need insane amount of money or craft many components to never run out of ammo.
And then there is the overflooding of magic items compared to tech items.

One thing nobody praises about Arcanum is how alive the world is: people go to sleep lock the doors and chest, wake up open the doors, react accordingly to action made by PC.

 

[SpaceWizardz]

Arcanum is a setting/atmospherefag game not a storyfag one.

 

[MerchantKing]

I like Arcanum. Especially the Gnomes. I really like how through their scientific ingenuity they became captains of industry.

 

[Cohesion]

It's because you are an evil gnome yourself.

Cool it with the antinanatic remarks. Gnomes by definition are not evil.

This.

It's a good, fun to play game but it is only half of a masterpiece. The other half - what you said. Terrible combat mechanics, enemy and encounter design. Bugs even today. Useless or even not working stuff (spells, items...) - and not by design. Very unbalanced but not in the fun way of some other badly unbalanced games. Also another game where the main type of the (too few) challenges are of the annoying kind. C&Cs are fake or unimportant but that's the standard so it's not really a minus. There is probably some more.
I still like it quite a lot, which astonishes me. I suppose it's the setting and atmosphere - truly greatly done. Music is very good. City of Tarant is one of the best cities in crpg, very fun to explore. Sad that the game doesn't keep this level of exploration fun during the whole game. Many quests are very well done.
As i said already: It is half of a masterpiece. Arcanum + good combat + testing and polish + main map not being empty (optional) => masterpiece (maybe).

Another Codexer writing drunk today? If anything the game is overall too easy. You do not need to git gud, which usually is part of fun when playing games.

That was fine 10 years ago, but it needs to be updated. I think you need to replace it with CDPR.
