How do you cope with the fact that there will never be another game like this?
>>
I don't even know which version I'd play?
there is this Multiverse version on Steam.
Then there is a russian torrent with multiple choices.
Or just the gog version+UAP?
Are there mods which make the UI more appealing on higher resolutions and similar stuff?
I'm confused.
>>
I've actually played it enough to know why it's not more popular. It's mediocre at best.
>>
>>3209058
I got bored out of my mind playing this
got to the big city and did quests
then went to some tropical place I can't really recall anymore and one day I never opened up the game again
>>
>>3209058
Arcanum is honestly one of the worst CRPGs around.
Great setting, horrible gameplay and quests. Virtually every other old crpg mogs it. Stop jerking off games just because they're old.
>>
>>3209058
Only zoomer faggots think this game is any good.
>>
>>3209123
what? if anything it would be appalling to zoomers because it lacks instant gratification mechanics and dailies.
>>
>>3209058
By replaying it and acknowledging that each game is unique.

Also looking at indie releases first instead of AAA games.
>>
>>3209104
Yeah GOG+UAP is golden , idk about multiverse
>>
>>3209058
What? A half-baked chud power fantasy? Yeah, I hope so.
>>
>combat which makes up most of the game is objectively bad
>quest design is incredibly linear
>the writing the gets much talked about is nothing special
>80% of the companions are literal mules who don't even have unique dialogue
I don't get the cult of Arcanum, it feels like something that only exists due to zoomers watching youtube essays about the game.
>>
>>3209058
It makes the plebs seethe. It's also proof that in video game RPGs, the world and the systems/mechanics built around it are the most important aspects.
>>
Fallout2-ce guy is reverse-engineering Arcanum as well.

>>3209505
Some Russian autist rebuilt the fallout 1 and 2 engines from scratch, he's mainly doing Icewind dale 2 now but does Arcanum when he's bored with that. What this means that we can have Arcanum fixed eventually if everything goes well and from there on moddable as well.

Underrail and the none fagnal fantasy jrpg threads tell me everything. Arcanum keks not only have shit taste, but they got mogged by a slav and that one indie fag who keeps remaking the same game he did in the 90's.

Look at your posts, anon, and then look at the mirror. Do you feel smart for making them? Are you proud of yourself? Is that a thing you'd talk about with your mom when she asks how your day was?
>>
>>3209657
Uhh purple doesnt "feelz" snort to wink et as the intelgienceacy stat asunt something Uho can touch. When I look in dur mirror, I tgunk to reself, "U bby. Smack, juice, and peel" momma you ask? Just wonna say muuuumma... just wanna say muuuuumaaaa... Und she would say, "Son of mine, urs doing dang great, keep being seriosuly to no nut acutally" thts what she said and I give hurrr teddy bear, very rare. And jus so U know. The lava itself es named volcano.

I see no point in this either.
If his post is shit (not that I am going to bother searching for it) why do something equally as pointless like this? What do you gain by pretend linking? It’s drawing attention either way.

>>
>>3209613
Arcanum is a weird one. It had many little details way ahead of its time, but we never got the future Arcanum belongs to. Mainstream RPGs obviously got worse as you would expect, but there really aren't even any smaller games that understood what Arcanum was doing and continued along those lines.
>>
>>3210557
what was arcanum doing? I really couldn't understand the whole battle system
