Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura

Amazing RPG from a bygone era.

An absolute masterpiece of computer roleplaying games.

I wish, I wish they did a sequel or remaster of this game.

A Classic Masterpiece full of quirks and difficult learning curve. One of the best soundtracks of all time, and a wonderful world to experience and explore. The charming graphics and style of world building will keep you engaged for years!

MUSIC: the game is great. i dont care for the music despite everyone loving it but hell youll probably like love it since it is well made. COMBAT AND BALANCE: the combat is enjoyable in how jank it is. that sounds bad but being able to be bodied whilst also having the power to turn the odds just as quickly is fun in a realistic ways most CRPGs arent able to do. violence in real life is unpredicatable and can very easily turn on the person winning just as often as a fight goes as expected. STORY AND CHARACTERS: the story is good if you give it time and dont put your expectations too high and dont believe the people trying to make it sound way more deeper than it is (including the dev with a yt channel). this is one of the few games along with F:NV and planescape to actually have good likeable companions even if theres a lot of them who are nothing like in F1 but the standouts are amazing ROLE PLAYING AND BALANCE: the ability for roleplaying is lesser than in other good crpgs due to the main quest arbitrarily locking you out of certain areas for no reason and many areas being places youll only visit once or twice at most. one of the most damning things for roleplaying however is the even more arbitrary decisions for what skills assign to what stats. a Thief will have to basically have to wait until around level 20 until they come into being a proper thief where as a fighter is set to go about level 6 due to fighting having only 2 stats, 2 skills which matter, Constituion & Strength, melee & dodge where as a thief needs Perception & Dexterity, Prowling, Pickpocketing and Picklocks. id recommened only to those who are interested in unique games. this game will likely never get a sequel and honestly if they did the returning devs would probably make it insufferable
