Arcanum What is the status of the writer for Arcanum?

[AshenNedra]

I was wondering: was R. Zelazny's Changeling (1980) one of your inspirations for the conflict between magic and technology ?

Roger Zelazny's novel Jack of Shadows could also have been an inspiration for a magic versus technology theme, and it's a far better novel than Changeling.

As I said, Arcanum reminded of all of his themes. Like all real authors, the same subjects , themes and tone are recurrent in all novels, novellas and short stories, aren't they?

Necros like these are simply heart-warming.

My salutations to Ed Mortimer, you sir contributed to making one of my favourite cRPG and for that alone deserve praise, regardless of how much you might have contributed.

But out of curiosity, just how did you stumble on this year old thread in this niche prestigious corner of the internet?

This forum isn't so 'niche'. It's just hugely hated because it's full of riffraff

Codexers are the scum of the internet, who have registered for brofists, but look what fine parrots we have made them!

 

[Not.AI]

This is one of the better threads indeed

Dude... not in front of Ed, he's gonna think we're not cool.

There was no chance of that ever happening, for any of us.

If only. Ten years from now people are gonna bump this thread and complain that Arcanum in French was lousy or something.

Not before you give us your opinion on Carcanum.

As a modder yourself, I'm sure you have nothing but respect for it.

And how about our very own and world famous modesty mod? What is your opinion, Ed? A desecration of the original vision or a welcomed purification of your and Troika’s decadent tendencies, no doubt influenced as it were by your reckless youth back in those days?

If only Drog was here.

 

[Alienman]

i've always been a huge fan of JA2, and I have to 'correct' what they got 'wrong' in JA3

Curious, what would that be? And when can we see your mod? Or is it private?

 

[MerchantKing]

Speaking of something else that needs a resurrection...

 

[MerchantKing]

Terra Arcanum sure has a lot of broken links too!

 

[Saint_Proverbius]

Ah, the good old days.

It'll be an overhaul mod -- I'll touch everything, and it'll take a while but I'll post it publicly when it's releasable.

Well, I'm partial to overhaul mods like Carcanum, which I then overhaul myself and add as many other specific mods (further tweaked), like Modesty Mod, that i like. You can't please everybody with everything. It has been a long while since I played Arcanum (just fired it up again), so I can't really speak to specifics except to say Arcanum needs some polish and extras, just like any game, and that's what modders do best.

my job was to fill in the conversations

Bang-up job.
