It's my birthday today. My final GA this day. Despite really clunky and unbalanced combat I love Arcanum, just like classic Fallouts and Planescape: Torment. They are all in the same league, better than most cRPGs nowadays and I hope that's not only nostalgia talking through me. I will add the winner temporarily in Steam to my friends list to send the gift so please check and accept my invite.
The best of the old Troika games! I've ran D&D campaigns inspired by this world, it's amazing! Thanks for the GA
Also, happy birthday mate, a new achievement unlocked!

Yes, I agree. Damn, playing paper RPGs seem so distant now for me, like I was doing it ages ago or in another life. Gonna organize a group when I will be retired, pensioner of some kind of faculty for old, grumpy men ;-)

Yeah, I've always imagined DM-ing for a bunch of old farts when we retire. All the roleplaying possibilities of removable teeth :D

LMAO :-D I never tried to be a DM, I'm too lazy but of course I appreciate their work.

Happy birthday !
I'll have to get the game once I beat my ton of cRPGs. Which may never happen considering their 50-300h duration. Next will be Neverwinter Nights, so goodbye people, I'll be off for a while :D

Neverwinter Nights is not that good TBH, second part was way better. You can now only get it on GOG though. First part's strength lies elsewhere. Modules, mods, community, playing with GMs and other players online. At least back in the day, I don't know how it is now. They are different beasts but for the base single player campaign experience NWN 2 is better.

Happy birthday bro. Wish all the best to you. And no, it's not only nostalgia speaking, Arcanum is truly awesome. Thanks man.

I think the problem is writing. Too many new games are too serious while being dumb and shallow at the same time. I mean not only cRPGs but games in general.
Comment has been collapsed.
When the graphical part was at its limit, they could only improve it by means of text/writing value and story quality, so I'd agree on that. Anyhow, you can find some exceptions nowadays too, which are always appreciated.
Happy birthday!

Of course, I don't think that the whole industry sucks, just a big part of it ;-)

I agree. I think too many new games are trying to tackle serious subjects, but they lack the talent to achieve proper execution. People who wrote Torment, Arcanum and such were taking heavy inspiration from philosophy and literature, mainly existentialism, while the new "narrative designers" get into gaming industry after a bootcamp course on gender studies and a couple of hours of watching youtube celebs and the frauds of "life gurus". And lo and behold, the new games suck... As if it's almost a mystery to these people why proper education is essential to any job.

Hyperbole for sure but not at all wrong for sure. Well said.

Happy birthday and thanks for nice game giveaway.
I remember playing Arcanum when i was kid. I think it was bit complicated at times for me back then (sooo many stats to pick), but i was still enchanted with wonderful atmosphere of the game.
Comment has been collapsed.
Just like classic Fallouts, Arcanum uses almost identical system. You made HD/full posture version of my profile picture? My avatar was made by my wife, a little modified version of Vault Boy to more resemble...me :-P
Comment has been collapsed.
I dont know, I just saw your avatar was awfully cut-out and smoll, and vault boy is super easy to redraw and make it bigger... I came from work any my brain doesnt work, this wast attack on your wifes art, i swear 😂
Comment has been collapsed.
Nah, it's great, just make the background black for me and we are golden :-D Will probably use your version then, she will never know ;-)

Isnt that like artistic cheating? 🤔

Comment has been collapsed.
Daaayum, you gave me too much options and now my head exploded :-D Thank you very much mate, I really appreciate your work!
Don't know anything about artistic cheating, I'm a simpleton who just plays some video games like a child. Darker avatar just feel right to me, probably because it makes you optically thinner and I'm on a diet ;-)
