True.
If only FROM Software came back to their first person RPGs that would be something, King's Field was interesting project, better than overrated TESes.
Because who else? InXile? Obsidian? Don't make me laugh.
Or Larian? They didn't make Divinity in first person, yet.

Starting this game.
using ark libertaris or whatever it is called. it looks okay for a 2002 game. graphics looks a bit better than theif without texture mod, aside from it, nothing special but it has atmosphere. it run perfectly on modern PC @ the resolution of 1440p. the only technical issue is at that resolution the UI is painfully small.
just got to the tavern above, met grue, etc. really good game. i really like how open ended, and abusable the system is, for example, killing all the guards by dropping portcullis over their heads, the objectives seems to be "however you play" thing ala thief/deus ex stuff.
at first, the controls are really daunting, especially the menu, inventory, etc but when you finally "get" it, it feels wonderful. the combat is kinda cluncky, but it is, magically STILL better than any modern bethesda game's melee. like a hit at least register, and i feel like enemy react accordingly with every hit, no floaty bethesda feeling. it is much like less polished version of dishonored, which are always better than bethesda's crap.
casting spells can be a pain in the ass, but the "quickspell" slot is such a brilliant idea, than you cast them earlier and use it whenever you need it with a push of a button. this semi vancian system allows you to take advantage to scout ahead, then plan your attacks. it is also a utility.
i dunno how i missed it all these years, got the game for like 2 dollars in a sale, finally trying it out.
brilliant game. sadly, there aren't any games like this anymore
except for the ultima underworld(1/2)
Imagine playing arx with something like this in the middle of the night:

You do need monitors to play computer games
What? You can get those on monitors too? Or for anything really?
yes forreal. Also, if you lick the monitor it can ejaculate free cocaine
It is one of the worst games ever. The spell casting gimmick is not only badly made but it starts being annoying quickly. It stifles the gameplay, that and the fact that there are only a few spells anyway. And besides the crappy spell casting gimmick, the rest of the game is terrible too. Level design, items, character building, story, etc.. Really bad.
There's a dozen spells at least!
It is the same few spells, and you have to use them with the exact same shape drawn a million times. All to progress your journey through a below average game. The whole point of RPGcodex is to circle jerk over old games that put modern games to shame. But shit like this is inferior even to Skyrim. You are all let downs.

The dev snapshot of Arx Libertatis has an optional "alternative spellcasting" setting that makes casting spells way easier from what I've heard.
