This was one of my first real RPG games I played. So for me it comes with a metric ton of nostalgia, so take this review knowing that. I don't remember the exact year I played it first, but it was some time between 2003 and 2004. I was amazed by how it looks, the great stories told, the war between magic and technology, corrupt governors and disgraceful guard captains. I never played Diablo or Fallout games from that period, so all my love went into Arcanum. I played the original game in almost every possible way replaying it for more than 20 times. I think I knew every way to finish quests, get followers and complete the game. Knowing all that I now understand that game is not perfect, there are bugs, glitches and weird things, but that doesn't take anything away from it. Yeah, sometimes you get stuck on rocks or behind a tree, but an extra click and you're on the way forward again. This game is not for everyone. This game is for people who appreciate games which are not perfect and like them.
