Who /mage/ here?
>>320654332
Arcanum fucking pisses me off.
Infact, every Troika game pisses me off.
Fucking wasted potential.
>>320654839
>Arcanum fucking pisses me off.
I mean, the ending is rushed as fuck but the game has almost unparalleled world building and dialogues. Also those quests are really engaging and fun. Insane replay value as well.
But why does it piss you off?
>>320654332
man recalling how fucking massive those cities were was painful i don't have it in me to explore them nowadays
>>320654940
>the brothel house questline
>going around returning a pocket watch to a cheating husband
>give it to the maid
Those were great.
>>320654972
I think I was the only one having genuine fun exploring Tarant, Caladon and the like. The soundtrack was amazing ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJ62O51ia64 ) and I really liked how I had to check number plates on houses to know where was the next quest objective.
>>320655064
>Brothel questlines is totally different if you're male or female
I got to serve as a whore as I passed the beauty check, pretty fucking great.
>>320654940
It pisses me off because I've read about interviews about what they wanted to do but couldn't.
Arcanum has the fucking terrible combat, with XP being rewarded per hit or something. Excellent world building and fun quests as you said though.
ToEE has amazing Turn-based combat, but everything else is pretty much fucking garbage. Short as shit, off-combat pathing is completely broken, barely any story, shop UI is garbage.
And then there's Vampire. You get to the sewers and the game just gets thrown off a valley.
I just can't play Troika games anymore. It's the most depressing shit ever.
It pisses me off that Leo Boyarsky is now wasting whatever talent he has left at Blizzard and Tim Cain is relegated to a fucking code-monkey at Obsidian.
>>320655313
>It pisses me off that Leo Boyarsky is now wasting whatever talent he has left at Blizzard and Tim Cain is relegated to a fucking code-monkey at Obsidian.
This. Arcanum has a beautiful world and I loved the dichotomy between magic and traditional means. Also has a great world that reacts accordingly to the player's actions, which is a rare thing. I'm sad that Troika is gone.

The part near the beginning of the game where you have to kill this guy and two thugs to cross a bridge sold me. Nigger walked up to me and knocked my unconscious or something while his two buddies kept on kicking me on the floor.
>>320655815
>>320656421
There's at least a dozen ways to get past that obstacle and I loved it.

Oh, Arcanum thread!
>Worldbuilding
11/10.
This game made fucking steampunk good, that's how epic the worldbuilding is.
>Story
8/10
Starts as generic trite but then quickly goes off the rails with the entire Chosen One stuff and turns really interesting
>Quests
11/10
The replay value of this game is in-fucking-sane. The differences your skills, alignments, stats, followers, previous choices, own fucking memory and all other elements can make to the quest is probably the greatest of all RPGs ever made.
>Followers
8/10
I wish more of them were voiced. There is a truly varied collection of individuals that have distinctive personality, interactions, quirks and behaviours. Quite a feat given they are all set on the same dolly with slight differences in their programming.
>Combat
2/10
UGH! It can make you wish to claw your own eyes out at times. It's boring, uninspired, AI is stupid, there are countless game-breaking bugs that you can trigger by accident just by fighting at normal, the armour system is simply broken and the game puts more and more combat instead of more and more story in final stages. It's really boring and tiresome, while the only way to use real-time combat is to play as melee - every other weapon and playstyle requires using clunky interface that isn't useful even in turn-based mode (spells, anyone?)
>Music
10/10
Quintarra can go looper for entire week, nobody minds. No, really. I've tested it while sailing - the music piece was looped on the speaker, nobody ever said anything bad about the same piece playing for 10 days straight.
>Little things that matter
9/10
While obviously the final stages of the game are rushed as fuck, most of the time it's highly polished game with GREAT attention to details. You can literally sink in the sidequests, wondering how to solve them with materials and skills at hand.
Your favourite compaion, /v/?

>>320659542
Where is this in the game?
>>320655815
kek, I like to get dynamit from the mine and throw it at them.
Most of the time it kills one oger and hurt the prince and the other oger pretty badly
>>320659775
I usually sneak past them and drop the dynamite on the gate, guaranteed kill on 1 ogre + opens up the gate. Doesn't even aggro them, for some reason.
>>320659542
Too much of silence in it. Not enough melancholy.
who's the lady in the cover
The very first obstacle with the village gate is probably one of the best game design decisions I've seen.
>barely started, still uncomfortable about many mechanics
>game throws you a huge wall at your face
>gated exit with a party of bandits you can't possibly defeat on your own
>have to be creative and learn the world's rules to get past
10/10
Compare to modern "rpgs" and see how far we've fallen.
>>320659124
>Villages
just a reminder.
You can download the complete soundtrack and the notes from Ben Houge's page for free
http://benhouge.com/arcanum.html
There he also talks about the music and what inspired him.
>One very important aspect of Arcanum is that the player may choose to follow a path of good or evil. For this reason, I purposefully avoided writing a sweeping, heroic title theme. Instead, I tried to make the theme morally ambiguous, almost tragic (for Arcanum can be a world of hardship), yet epic (which truly describes the vast scope of Arcanum). I've tried to suggest several things without committing to a single interpretation. I also think a slower, more pensive theme is appropriate to the thoughtful nature and pace of a role-playing game.
>>320659929
The cover of Arcanum of Steamworks and Magick Obscura is dominated by the tattooed head of a female elf. None of the player portraits for elves or half-elves look like that, nor does any prominent elven npcs. There are also a spellslinging mage and dwarf with a flamethrower included, neither notable characters but far more awesome.
The game has an alternate brighter cover with Raven, whom you do meet, prominently displayed. The unidentified female elf in the commercial cover is by that logic most likely Min'Gorad, the leader of the Dark Elves, who does not have a character potrait in-game.
>>320654332

Did you type this out yourself or did you copy it from some wiki?
>>320659929
Dunno, but my teen self was thrown away from that cover for whatever reason. Then I've read about the game few articles and I was back in the store to get it.
Still got the T-shirt they've been adding to the game. Still fits. Still with good print on it. Quality bonus, which says about quality of game too.
>>320660160
I think the contemplative, melancholic soundtrack is much more interesting than epic orchestral generic stuff we get in many other games, much like Morrowind's sad tracks vs Skyrim's over the top epicness.

Also on an unrelated note, did anyone else think finding locations reading number plates was amazing?

>have actually to find the street and read plates to find the right house
>>320659929
The elements of cover are picked from idea images created during early development. There was a shitloat of sketches made by designing team when they were still writing the game in most broad terms. From all those countless sketches, few that the team working on the game found the most inspiring were picked, mashed together and ended up as cover for the game.
Go figure what stimulated those guys the most.
>>320660305
definitely.
>>320657157
Virgil, obviously, afterhe dies and you resurect him
Did you support the half orc revolution in the factory or not?
>>320654332

>alternate cover

I know magic is OP but I had way more fun playing Tech.
All that literal trash is now treasure, so much dumpster diving
>>320660772
The half-orc told me "its sad but cannot be changed" and the taskmaster guy didn't have any dialogue option to overthrow him so I never tried. Can I do anything?
>>320660772
I convinced him to stand down and work for change peacefully.
I think he ends up becoming leader of Tarant if you do
>>320660921
quite literally, felt like god damn mcgyver going through literal trashcans and coming up with a few explosive grenades, an advanced lockpick and a new pistol
to bad some things were exceedingly rare (looking at you miniature steam engine)
>>320660772
nah killed them all
If you guys never read the manual, you really ought to give it a read.
>>320661282
>>320661282
I really liked the textbook style explanation of the magic/technology conflict
>>320661384
It's brilliant how it's completely written in universe with all the Victorian era-styled idioms.
>>320660772
I sided with the orcs, because gnomes are the true evil
Also amusingly, the end slide for that is based off Nazi propaganda
>>320661525
if the choice is hitler or gnomes, I'd go with ol' squarestache
>>320660956
no idea, maybe your skill level is not high enough, maybe you missed some item or dialogue with a certain character.
This is a pretty "big" quest.
>>320661525
Well the gnome conspiracy to kidnap female humans and have them raped by ogres to breed half-ogres bodyguards is literally taken out of 20th century urban legends about jewish conspiracies kidnapping white women for human trade.
>>320661456
>>320661375
>>320661282
God I fucking miss these kinds of manuals. Tim Cain, you beautiful bastard, where are you. What the fuck happened to your pal Boyarsky. You used to make cool games.

reminds me alot of the Diablo 2 manual with letters from Deckard Cain and the Empire Earth manual which came up with new timeline to fit the universe and introduce the hero characters.
>elves think they're the oldest and most superior race
>advances in biology point out they're just a mutant human subspecies
all the typical elven supremacists in the game become bloody hilarious with that knowledge
>>320660772
Why wouldn't I support them? Seriously, it makes sense for even the most "evil" character to support them - even if just for the sake of bloodbath and revolution on streets.

it's a shame the steampunk happened. This game would be loved so much more without those faggots.
>>320661957
Elves become truly hilarious in this game, with this massive "take that" in form of a fist in all their faces.
Dark elves? Just bunch of idiots
Wood elves? Different bunch of different idiots
Elven supremacists? True idiots
All the lofty ideas of high and mighty elves? Bullshit
And the best part? How subtle it was. Instead of Witcher-style constant bashing of chaotic stupid elves (which was working in books, but in games falls short), you can just slowly stab them slowly with the realisation they are bunch of retarded hypocrites.
>>320661957

>>320662226
>implying I don't know this manual by heart.
It is one of those just for fun reads.
>>320662286
I love how elven players are implied to be trying very hard to be special snowflakes but in the end aren't special in any way (much like the elves ingame) and half-elves are even worse, trying to be "down to earth but still special"
>>320662226
Keep going anon, I never owned the game physically and never read the manual.
>>320662424
Well then I'm done
>>320662462
Check out manual.pdf in your GOG folder.
Is the combat really that horrible? Been thinking about playing it.
>>320662226
I'm reading anon.
>>320662286
I also like how much of a complete and utter tools the dark elves were
spoilers for realsnot only were they being tricked by a HUMAN mage of all people, but the guy they were trying to get for their little crusade realized just how idiotic the whole idea was several centuries ago so even if by some miracle they did manage to get him, all he'd do is stand around telling them they're idiots
>>320662226
post the banana bread recipe
>>320662541
It's just not very interesting. It's not better nor worse than Fallout's combat. I think playing as a mage is more fun. Also get the dog asap, he makes combat a breeze.
>>320662425
the ingame book about a scientist trying to theorize the exact mechanics behind the interference between magic and natural law is also interesting
course this being a victorian inspired setting he's probably completely wrong but its still interesting
>>320662650
dunno, I liked picking up the few party members that actually have interesting dialog
and besides I already had myself a loyal half ogre for all my high damage needs, and more importantly to carry a few thousand pounds worth of inventions, contraptions and other nifty objects a technologist might need
Just played through this game last week, it was great. Playing through again now as a dumb half-ogre to see all the different dialogue.
About to install arcanum, do I get the unofficial patch?
>>320662647
>>320662759
Ingame books about scientific experiments are the best. The vendigroth newspapers narrating the diving machine experiment are amazing and give me motivation to sift through that hellhole of a dungeon.Only to find said machine crashed in the middle of a desert
>>320662969
I meant combat. Companions are fucking great.
>Those ingame books arguing scientific racial superiority theories
>Telling that one girl that women should be property
I'd love to see the reaction some of the stuff inArcanum might get today
>>320660792
not to hard in this game.
one of the first spells is actually the best spell in the game for damage.
>>320663070

>>320663070
Yes, get the unofficial patch + high res patch.
>>320662969
Dog >>>>>> every other follower
Seriously, from purely mechanical standpoint, the dog can do more than rest of your team, even if that team consist of 7 other people...
... which by itself is fucking great. Sever followers and a loyal dog. It's like you are travelling with an army. Hell, the late game pretty much asks for that, since there is so much combat and then again, this is a game that shitload of stuff can be done with high Charisma and Persuasion, so this might be even intentional in some way, so you are dragging small army with yourself without much problems.
>>320663257
so how did the rest of you get their ships?
high gamble and fate point here, knew that skill would eventually come in handy
>>320663123
>tfw no halfling grandma neighbour to bake delicious cakes and have tea with, while reminiscing of simpler times
>>320663314
or you can drag an actual army with you if you've got high enough mechanical skill
no limit on spiderbots and automatons baby
>>320663359
I helped a ghost pirate to repair his misbehavings and once he was finally forgiven by all his victims, he could finally rest and I got his ship as a reward.
>>320663359
>>320663257
Fun fact, the ship's wheel is actually a human NPC with a different skin. You can see that by hovering over it and see the human (two crossed pistols) icon. You can also force combat and hit it, it will make normal human pain noises.
>>320663461
Nah, those felt like cheating. The medical spiderbot is so insanely powerful it just breaks the game. You can turn on real time in combat and just go make some tea and sandwiches while bot(s) clear the area
>>320663359
>fate points
nearly forgot about these.
cool mechanic.
I remeber using one or two in the beginning for critical stealing/unlocking. but I don't remember what exactly I did.
>>320663562
So that's where Bethesda got the idea to make the train in Fallout 3 into a super fast npc.
>>320663472
Jesus, this entire pirate deal was so fucking bugged... I mean the quest was truly great, but the execution was just awful. If one bug didn't trigger, another was instantly in place.
>>320663712
It's a common time-saving measure.
>>320663632
I thought that was the appeal. I like having an absurdly powerful mechanical detachment following me and clearing any foolish individual stupid enough to stand in my way.You need tons of skill points and dumpster diving to make it happen anyway and I thought it was an amazing reward.
>>320663632
best thing is: bots can actually gain levels
they do lose them once you pick them up for repairs but if you can keep them going for a long time eventually you end up with a couple lv 50 automatons
This game is baffling to me.
It's fucking terrible, yet people love it. Honestly, as far as isometric RPGs are concerned it ranks among the worst I've ever played.
Yes, the setting is great. Yes, the RPG elements are pretty cool.
But the game itself is such utter shit. What the fuck are you niggas smoking, saying the replayability is great? NOBODY wants to replay any of those arduous dungeons, least of not Blackrock (was that the name? dwarf dungeon) without being a mage with teleport.
Let's not forget how useless guns and mechanical skills are, either. You wanna be a gunsmith? Hahahahahaha, yeah, okay buddy.
The fact that people are posting screenshots of the fucking manual, the FUCKING MANUAL, shows how terrible this game is. When the manual is the coolest thing you can fucking pick out of this pile of shit, you know something isn't right.
Took me forever to realise you can toggle combat and ctrl click something to force an attack on containers/doors.

>>320663827
some guns are alright
others are broken
besides game's combat was easy enough that going full mad scientist and eventually creating your very own LIGHTNING CANNON was in no way a disadvantage
>>320663980
I beat it, dude. Fairly easily at that.
>>320664005
I suppose that's a good point. But Planescape didn't piss me off as much... maybe because the dungeons weren't insanely long and tedious, and maybe because you weren't forced to walk all the way back to the entrance and step outside to rest.
Jesus, who the fuck thought that was a good idea...
I need to restart and finish this game someday....

That's a legitimate complaint but I think everyone in this thread feels like overall the incredible care and love put into the game makes those flaws forgiveable.
>>320664253The game literally drops that prophecy trite 30% in and makes clear you were gullible enough to buy it.

Broken weapons for companions and lack of mana potions, I guess. It's been a few years.
Either way the dungeons were fucking terrible, don't you dare say otherwise.

>>320665606
the game is set in a victorian inspired fantasy world
fantasy often means taking legends and mythologies and applying them as if real
only in this case instead of the bog standard king finds magic sword or a cabal of witches is ruining the crops its the victorian urban myths that are real, including the jewish conspiracies
Gnomes did 9/11
>>320665779
Damn that sounds pretty sensible
Are there any other examples of Victorian urban myths or whatever kinds of make belief being made real in Arcanum?
>>320665975
gnomes setting up a false-flag assault against themselves in order to gain more control over the council and provoke a war with a neighboring nation would be EXACTLY the sort of thing those shifty bastards would do

While the game lampshades it doesn't really matter if you are or notthe chosen one, because in the end of the day, you are doing the job of one, even if in factyou are just an average Joe who went through hell and back to help people around. I say this, even if a bit naive, idealism is the greatest part of the game.

how dare you, multiple studies have indicated that orc and half-orc brains are severely engorged in parts responsible for violence and instinctual behavior but have nearly non-existent areas for higher learning and self control making it obvious to any educated man that unless they are properly disciplined by a proper species on a regular basis they will automatically devolve to infighting and tribalism

This alone made draggingVirgiltill that point worth it.
And howVirgilsaysKerghanis right... but that doesn't mean what he plans to do is right.

Gnome detected.
is the fan patch for Arcanum worth getting?

You actuallymeet the real guy you're supposed to be a reincarnation of, he's still alive
The ending changes depending on how much you played along with being a god.
>>320667638
Yes. Some quests are really bugged and rarely work as intended unless you patched it. High resolution patch is a no brainer too.
do any of the unofficial patches make high level science stuff like powered armor and automatons work?
who else gave the ring away?
Who /FUCKING INSTANTLY KILLED BY FUCKING NOTHING AFTER REFUSING MAGNUS FROM JOINING THE PARTY PERMANENTLY/ here?
never.
Did you really trust that creepy ass gnome in shrouded hills?

I think the non-combat magic was fucking brilliant too.
>fast travel with teleportation
>Reading alignment (even with regular NPCs, for some reason it added a lot of character to nameless NPCs or even bartenders, shopkeepers)
>Summoning spirit from corpse to have a chat
I only used those, mostly and it was a lot of fun.

I have completed this quest like 10 times and i never thought of that, fuck me
He did nothing wrong.
>>320669157
He did an awful lot of wrong stuff but he wasright all along.
Honestly, I felt like the main quest ending was really tacky and really subpar compared to the rest of the game. I guess it's the typical Troika problem of running out of time/money (both).
I think this is one of the best arcanum threads we've had lately.

Wasn't Arcanum made from scratch in 9 months by 12 people?

>the fucking opening cutscene shows your airship being blown the fuck up by said 'heavy' aircraft, piloted by orcs no less.
>I'm looking for the city of Qintarra. It's quite important.
>Qintarra? You seek Qintarra?
>Yes, that's what I said. Do you know where it is?
>It's in the forest. Even a fool knows that.
>I realize it's in the forest...
>Then why are you asking me where it is?
>Do you know where Qintarra is located or not?
>Yes.
>Out with it, man!
>In the Glimmering Forest.
>Yes. I bloody know it's in the blasted forest already, we've been over this. Look, this isn't funny. Where, exactly, in the forest is Qintarra?
>In the trees.
>IN WHAT TREES?!
>The trees in the forest :^)

And that's when I pull out the elephant gun.
I've only played it once about three years ago. I wanted to replay it again so badly, but decided to wait so I wouldn't get burnt out.
Thinking I should wrap up withfallout 4so I can finally play this again. I want to make a gun/tech character so bad.
>>320672206
Holy shit what ammunition does that run on?
Did anyone try to do a gnome playthrough? Is the dialogue any different?
>>320662226
Lurkers are always in the dark, remember that
Is it better to specialise in herbology or therapeutics ?
