Editorial Tim Cain talks about Arcanum 2!

[racofer]

An Elf wizard walks into his favorite pub, looks at the bartender and asks for some ale. He notices two thugs in a dark corner and suspects they are there to ambush him, and he was right. When the thugs approach him, instead of the usual spell casting one would expect, the Elf equips a pistol and goes BOOM BOOM BOOM FROM ALLL CRAEZY ANGLELES WHILE THE CAMERA SPINS AROUND FROM EVEN MOAR CRAZYER ANGLES. Now THAT is the spirit of Arcanum.

And to please our hardcore fans, fear not because we have developed MATS (Magical Assisted Targeting Spell) which requires action points to use, so it feels like the good'ol turn based games.

That would fuel Codex hatred for years to come.

But then when it's actually released Chefe will write positive review.

No he won't, JF will get him before he has a chance.

And in the spirit of other Elder Scroll games, the player will be able to attain mastery at both technology and magic with the same character. The game should not be saddled with such last-gen conventions as mutually exclusive factions and characters that can't become good at absolutely everything.

And they'd make damn sure that everybody finally understands that Arcanum was all about going New Zealand on a sheep's ass. No child-killing, and no gnome-killing (they're like children, ya kno').
