Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura

Ok i bought this one years ago and still have it in my collection.. I did like this game it had depth but at the time of it release its graphic's were poor and would probably turn most people off... And people dont even compare this to the fallout series because they were legend games this isn't! Dont get me wrong the game isn't bad its just not up to the standards of much older games like Fallout 1 and 2. I also found the world was rather bland even tho it had tech in it.. The 1920's style of play really puts me off. If your gonna add tech atleast make it look good! Its an ok game but gets boring quick!

This is one of the greatest RPGs out there but it's not without it's flaws.

...and it's not coming through rose tinted glasses of childhood memories. Finished my first playthrough just 20 minutes ago actually! How the world and plot plays out is very similar to Fallout 2. Meaning you have a lot of freedom, like attack anyone you want and break the plot. Includes ungodly amount of stuff to do, more than you can possibly accomplish in one playthrough. Also a bunch of minor bugs, but nothing major came up. The plot and interaction is superb.

Great game but there s not enough skins for items especially characters.

The game is somewhat enjoyable but a lot of things don't make much sense at all. Why can't a player ask a ship to go to a city he's heard before a quest requires them to go there? Why can't they ask the location of major cities? You can walk within inches of a city on the world map and not discover it. Why are there 230 monster types but so few music tracks? The final battle used the same music as walking around the area, the game's end slides used the same music, it's very strange. It makes the ending feel abrupt because it doesn't seem like an ending. The final battle itself was very easy, far easier than the minor enemies I fought only minutes before. Why is there so little technological loot to be found? Most chests have magic items. Tech items have to be crafted but no one sells it. I was using the same "fine broadsword" at level 50 as I was at level 10. Why do vendors buy low level healing items but have no interest in mid or max level items? Why do evil companions talk to me for long dialogues only to reject me at the very end? And every character who despises my race can be talked into trading with me with one or two dialogues. Bottom line, there are ideas to be sure but- a lot of them feel half baked and the effort into the game is very uneven.
