Arx Fatalis is better than Thief. Change my mind?

Pic related is actually OP

Why ranged when you can go warrior or glass cannon fireball mage?

Arx and Thief's atmosphere are mostly equal though Arx beats Thiefs ambiance. I won't deny that Thief has good level design but, Arx stands up on it's own.

Because stealth + archery is a patrician choice.
Mandatory build for CHADS

Does it do well at end game?

If you get this, you automatically win. It's incredibly broken, but it's hard to get

Never in my life have I seen a bow with my own eyes, for I am blinded by the light of my enormous, throbbing fireballs. Spraying their hot flames across the quivering bodies of my foes.

You shoot a fast stick.

I love both equally, but they are totally different.

Can you obtain this early on?

Funny because the second bow is literally a fast-shooting fireball machine, that scales damage with a projectile skill instead of magic and doesn't require mana.
I don't remember very well, midgame is minimum, I guess.

Yeah, I'm thinking Arx can safely fuck itself.
When your game is more broken and unplayable than the 10 year old DOS game you're trying to spiritually succeed, there's a fucking problem.
Dropped it hard and never looked back.

It was just updated today to work on Windows 10. Give it a try again or keep chugging shit.

Might replay it just for that build then.

more like, it was better than Morrowind combined with Skyrim LOL
alos OP clearly trolling, Thief is not even an open world RPGs

Please don’t ask me to do things I just came here to relax :(

Thief is a good game, Arx Fatalis is broken garbage. I don't understand how anyone can think an RPG with barely any content is good.

user, Arx source code is available for free, just fix it yourself lol, what are you, a codelet?

Sure it has a bunch of worthless gimmicks that you never use past their introduction, but they forgot to add anything else. There are like 15 different enemies, 100 total enemies, only a few weapons (bows in particular only have three types, one of which is through a semi-secret quest and the other is only obtained at the end of the game), almost all of the spells are retarded when fireball exists and is obtained at the start of the game, there are barely any quests and almost all of the skills are stupid memes that you will only use a few times in the entire game. The only redeeming quality I can think of are the sexy snake ladies. This game would have been a billion times better if they actually fleshed out their content instead of adding retarded, meaningless gimmicks that wow slack-jawed retards like yourself, but leave anyone else starving for real substance. Man I'm sure fucking glad they though to make rats go to cheese instead of double-checking to make sure rats have textures, what 10000 IQ developers.

Literally SOUL the game

Like what? I have beat it twice and didn't encounter ANY bugs.

>barely any content
Ok seriously. What the fuck are you talking about?

>It's better if my game has 50 repaints of the same sword instead of the new unique mechanics
Go back to Skyrim, zoomzoom.
