There are two things that make this game stand out: 1) A cyberpunk setting that, sadly, has been largely ditched by the rpg devs with time. Choose magic or technology as your path or try to balance both. 2) The devs - Troika games - featured people working on the Fallout series and responsible for their own Vampire: The masquerade series, famous for their originality. Result - expect Fallout-style gameplay (multiple ways to solve quests, random encounters, witty humor in dialogues and stuff that generally makes an RPG a real RPG and a not just a click-kill-loot game like Diablo) with a few Arcanum-specific twists. Not to be missed by any serious RPGamer.
