Keked and checked

Game didn't need insane art or voice acting to have tons of choice, fun, and soul (ironically because so much was meant to be soulless, uptight, and miserable).

This game is a good example of how to do balance right.
Not that im praising its final balance mind you, but its method of dividing the things that can be balanced was such that the game was good even with its imbalance.

The two general classes are magic amd tech. yes there are different sub builds but this is the big gameplay affecting choice. Of the two, magic is superior in just about every way. It makes the game easier in general, it requires less thought and time and strategy, you just blast everything with magic.

If this was a game like say, underrail, which also gives you a magic vs no magic choice, this imbalance would be (as underrail) an insult to the player. The game is more or less the same you see, there is no given choice with such degrees of imbalance, psi becomes simply the correct and only choice.

But in arcanum, the entire way you play the game, and even parts of the story itself, change depending on whether you are magic or tech. This means that even though tech is weaker, its still fun because as you play it, you are doing a 'tech playthrough', and the fact that magic is overpowered compared to it does not matter one bit, as you are doing a tech playthrough, and that is distinct from a magic playthrough - an entirely different experience.

This is how game balance should be done. The different choices between classes or builds should be so game altering that you cant look at them as simply paths to beat the game that dont really matter, thus demanding you pick the strongest option. Instead they are entirely different approaches to the game and experience of the game world.
This is how you do balance so that imbalance doesnt even matter.

Like a sheep

I did all the quests so I could fuck them all for free

Gotta appeal to zoom zoom cooms.
I'm more surprised MM7 don't have the skinsuits with pronounced nipples on theirs

good point

>mfw paying for sheep for shits and giggles
>mfw I open a door and there's a sheep there
>mfw screen fades to black as she starts to baaa

half this board don't recognize the game OP
with half i'm being generous

I feel bad for starting a playthrough of this and playing an hour before not bothering to return :(

Can I get two?

it's too bad the game is fucking awful. the style is 10/10.

>Game doesn't include "All of the Above" option

Is there a mod that can fix Arcanum's worst elements, or is the jank too baked in to be easily fixed?

two scoops please

>for giggles
yeah, sure

>prostitute
>"beautiful human female"
Nope. Their sin reeks, making them less than ideal mates.

Females can also bury their heads in the big titty priestess of that sex goddess.

Interesting fact: in the Temple of Elemental Evil cut content (which can be restored with Circle of Eight mod) there's a brother that includes a dominatrix and a sheep as well.

*brothel

>magic is powerful
*fires minigun at u elves lol!*

You, you aDORable FEmale HUman

you seem like a smart guy
you should leave

>This means that even though tech is weaker
kek, if you get the sniper rifle early on the game is just ez mode, two shotting most enemies with ease from a distance.
once you get the schematics for the good grenades it gets even easier.
and somewhere down the line you get the spider robot as well.
between the bot, the dog and roaming around with the sniper rifle 90% of enemies never even get close to you

i like you

Arcanum does have some really neat 2D art though.

That steam locomotive is so nice, and I always liked the glow effects on Void jellies.

...Can you guys really not see how problematic this image is? Zig Forums is literally brainlets when it comes to blatant sexism

Women are all whores anyway, prostitutes are at least honest.

>Of the two, magic is superior in just about every way. It makes the game easier in general, it requires less thought and time and strategy, you just blast everything with magic.
Don't you get gimped checks and navigation in a magic playthrough to make up for how strong magic can be?

Shame this game is fucking trash.

Arcanum is a known Nazi sympathizing game, avoid.

No it isn't zoomerinho.

Yeah, I'm thinking I'm casting some Poison Vapours on all the gnomes now.

Based????

Now i will play your game.

>confederate generals = nazis
Probably one of the dumber things I've read today.
No, it totally is. Sure the world building is super interesting and cool but actually playing the game is fucking dreadful and the combat is one of the most dog shit in the entire genre. It's very much a game where you suffer through the gameplay for the cool story but that doesn't make it good. It makes it bad but interesting.

This just convinced me to buy the game, thanks user

Looks like the resetera trannies are raiding

Beautiful...
