Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura

I'd like to start with this: if only someone, and for someone I mean Bethesda*, would buy the license of this game and make a new one or even a remake I'll be the happiest person in the world. As the title says this is one of the best RPGs you can experience. It excels in story, mechanics, soundtrack, which is one of my favourite. I love this probably a lot more than other people because I love steampunk. This game is deep in mechanics on both magic and technology, you can create various gadgets that will help you in every occasion or even learn a spell to resurrect people. I'm not so good with words, buy the game and you will undersant how great it is. **whispering* let them know we want an Arcanum game.

5 Stars. Game is always fun to start up and play through. I still have the retail disc but picked this up on sale so I don't have to dig it up every few years. The mechanics have some quarks and aren't always balanced if you take the right (or wrong) builds, but it doesn't take away from how well made and written the game is. Also there is plenty of support for high-resolution mods available.

Best Endings in any RPG I ever played.

For me, the best RPG I have ever played. Set in an original, yet very well thought out universe, Arcanum lets you walk a path between the opposing forces of technology and magic. Character development is very rich, but you can make it as easy or complicated as you want. It is set in an open world with near infinite freedom, although you can just follow the story to guide you through it. Each town and area you enter has its own history and a diverse set of quests, with some very extensive side quests. Because of the rich story and many actions that will affect the world during gameplay and after you finish the main story (multiple endings!), it is a highly replayable game. Have fun

played it back in 2003 i think and just loved it. its like playing witcher or dragon age back than.sadly troika is no more.hope someone will release a remastered hd version.
