Hi, I'd like (with the help of the community) to compile a better list of coordinates for forcing locations.
For example, last time I played Arcanum I forced Quintarra and I noticed that then I couldn't complete Myrth's quest in Stillwater (he wouldn't accept the giant's pelt) because I had already discovered the elven city.
However, I did force Quintarra just because I wanted the location of the Bedokaan village to complete the ancient gods quest.
However, you can go to the village even before going to Quintarra. It will be empty though and it won't show on your world map until you get the location in a proper way.
I noticed that all websites list the Bedokaan village location as 1180 315, which is inaccurate.
If you go to 1180 313, you'll land right on top of it.
Another location which you can't get to show on your map, but you can force is, Castle S'nel N'fa, which is nice to force early to get the staff of K'an T'au.
The location listed on most websites is 1385 643; however, this lands you quite a bit far from the castle, which may be hard to find from there.
However, if you go at 1384 640, you'll land right next to the skeleton.
I hope this helps some players on their next playthrough and clears some confusion. If you have any more coordinates, please feel free to post them.
I think the best way to get the right coordinates to a certain location is to use the Arcanum cheat mode enabler, which gives the coordinates of a certain spot by pressing X anywhere on your screen. That set of coordinates will be different from those used by the world map though, so to get the world maps coordinates you'll need to load a save in which you already have the location you need to go to on your world map, go there, get the coordinates, and to some trial and error in the world map, using X to give you a general idea about which set of coordinates you need to explore next.
