Let's play Arcanum, old chaps.

Later this month. I need to get some stuff done to the laptop it's installed on, hopefully that'll all be done quickly. LP is not abandoned, just on hold until that gets done which will hopefully be soon.

About to give this a whirl. Anything I need to be doing? Presumably play it turn based, and I'm inclined towards a techy, gun wielding character (dwarf, human?).

Steve gets a Kidney but I don't even get a tag.
Create whatever you want, you'll restart with new char soon anyways. I suggest having 9 charisma by the time you reach Shrouded Hills just so you can recruit Sogg.

Tech fucking SUCKS for the first playthrough, just play a melee warrior, maybe with some magic. My opinion might be a bit biased though, because I am so fucking pissed at the Gunsmithy discipline, fuckin' Troika :?

Gunsmithy? Hoo hoo, tech melee warrior is nigh unstoppable.

Actually, ANY melee warrior is nigh unstoppable ;(

Let's not, say we did, and pretend it's awesome.

But if you can't help it, mage with Harm and Summon Ogre is the way to go.

Because it's not so overpowered as pretty much all other builds?

Yeah, I see why you would be angry. Fucking Troika for not making all builds insta-win!

Then again, when I played a gunsmith I played without any patch and with the sniper rifle I was godlike. I understand the patch reduced the power of the sniper rifle, though.

But if you can't help it, mage with Harm and Summon Ogre is the way to go.

Indeed! It's the way to go if you want as little enjoyment from the game as possible!

Fucking morons who go "LOLOOL ARCANMU SUCKZ TOO EAZY" but at the same time play the most overpowered builds.

Combat is certainly not one of the strong points of Arcanum, so why waste time with it ?

Well, that's a valid point, but if you also play the most overpowered builds then you can be pretty sure you're not gonna get any fun out of it.
