Outstanding questdesign
This game deserved once 5 or 4 stars. In 2019 I thought about giving the game 3 stars, since the game has a lot of issues, which made me almost stop playing the game. Yet the questdesign is so good, that I wish Arkane and other developers would make more games like this (without it's issues). The outstanding questdesign allows the game to be played differently, like Ultima Underwold. Some say the warrior way is the only way, some say to play as magician is the only way, which means that both ways are viable. One can achieve goals peacefully or with violence. And the best thing about this game is that the non violent way does not depend on some obvious dialog choices but on solving puzzles, like in an adventure game. There is not one quest a simple fetch quest. Arx also has an excellent leveldesign (interlocked levels) and some unique features like the magic system. However, the game has also a lot of issues. - the game needs fan patch Arx Libertatis - even with the fan patch there are graphical glitches - the story is generic - human characters are boring - voice acting for humans is bad - a lot of skills are useless (stealth seems to be useless) - footsteps sound like high heels on marble even when crouching with some stealth skills - music is boring - graphics are a bit outdated and some things are hard to see - some corridors are so small that the player is blocked by another character - user interface is cumbersome - melee combat is simplistic - magic system can be frustrating - loading screens when transitioning - frustrating black monster in dwarven mines - no dialog choices - some unpolished mechanics leed to frustration (the right idea not working) So this game is ripe for a remake but it still deserves attention until some game do it better.
