Have you ever loved something, only to realize it’s a commercial flop or just obscure? What’s something that deserves more light than it got?

    Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura, it was made by alumni of Interplay. The developers also made Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines, which probably is why it gets overshadowed.

    Anyways gameplay is effected by build, equipment, and even race because of course it is this is a game made by Fallout 2 devs. If that sounds interesting but not convincing go watch Mandaloregaming, Warlockracy, or Ssethtzeentach for better reasons, though if you aren’t familiar with any or all of the YouTubers I mentioned I ordered it by least to most batshit.

    Also if any Eastern Europeans try to say “Oh this was a big game when I was in school” yes I’m aware I know about how your bootleggers charged by the disk resulting in everyone having Fallout 1, 2, and Arcanum. Sadly the game didnt do nearly as well here in the US in my experience.

      One of my favorite games of all time!

      I just need to get off my ass, install the various ‘modernization’ mods and play again.

      Just like I already did with Master of Magic.

        Yeah I’m in the same boat. Have the itch but it’s likely I’d have to deal with installers and I’m on Linux so it just sounds like a pain in the neck. Will probably do it whenever I get bored of New Vegas for the 200,000 hundredth time.
