Arcane
This is off to a good start. Hopefully you'll keep it up.

If you have some constructive criticism, write it down and if you're just a whiny sack of shit who only bitches about others you need to shut the fuck up.
Shut the fuck up.
Marquis de Retardot said:Let the fucking naysayers nay! I tried playing Arcanum but it was boring and really damn buggy. I quit when it decided to corrupt my save file 75% of the way through the game. I kept hoping it would get better, but combat went from being slightly difficult and boring, to pointlessly easy and boring. This LP might just pique my interest in the game again especially after Drog's patch.
Rabidredneck said:I think it's a good idea to give the unofficial patch a public workout. It's one thing to read a changelog to see what it does, but seeing it in action is far better in my book.
Black said:There isn't but that doesn't mean the LP can't be good.
Bullshit. BMC is short if you don't loot everything and just go straight to the dwarf, and you can also use the exit scroll that's lying around on one of the bodies to teleport out when you're done. In addition, the Wheel Clan dungeon (Dredge) is optional.Qwinn said:I never got past Quintarra myself, the huge long dungeon crawls (not my favorite part of RPGs) in BMC and then the other dwarf clan just wear me out every time I try.
He's talking to Qwinn. Maybe there's a reason why he's comparing it to PST?Wyrmlord said:I am amused by how Arcanum fans seem to only use Torment as a leverage for showing how Arcanum is better.
Please don't make generalizations. I just gave an example that would be familiar to Qwinn.Wyrmlord said:I am amused by how Arcanum fans seem to only use Torment as a leverage for showing how Arcanum is better.

But that's the beauty of Arcanum. It's impossible to do everything in one play through. You're effectively skipping a lot of content in each play through, because the role-playing system is very complex and allows for a great variety of character builds.Qwinn said:if I -have- to skip a lot of content for the game to remain fun, that's not a good thing
It's impossible to do everything in one play through.
Different builds = different difficulty. It's C&C, as well.Qwinn said:I'm talking about something completely different - which is not being able to comfortably enjoy all the content given whatever C&C you've picked.
Qwinn said:I like to uncover every last little nugget of content in a given game.
Qwinn said:The long dungeon slogs in Arcanum are a turn-off to me because I feel like I'm slacking if I don't do them, and I'm bored as hell if I do do them.
I feel sorry for you if you can't enjoy a game without min/maxing everything.Qwinn said:your party steals the vast majority of your xp from you
Oh, and please don't exaggerate. There's only a few golems there.Qwinn said:Add to that the inventory micromanagement every time you come across an armor-and-weapon destroying golem or similar critter, which seems to be constantly
Pretty much everyone agrees that the orc caves in the NWN2 OC are annoying as all hell. That's how Arcanum's dungeons feel to me. Except that I got through the orc caves quicker.
