Just started Arcanum recently. Just as well written and just as unbalanced in favor of magic.
I'm still goin through with the game though. Part of the fun is making mistakes and still managing..
I could listen to Fat Larry spew bullshit all night.
This game will happen for me again around Halloween.
And then once more if/when the Unity port is finished.
(For those who don't know what I'm talking about: http://www.projectvaulderie.com/)
Swamped is my favorite song from the game. It only shows up at the credits right?
"What I am is Kindred. How others choose to categorize themselves concerns me only where local customs are concerned. Individualism is a path fraught with obstacles, and sometimes angry mobs, but for all its hardships it is the only one worth taking."
Fat Larry is based on a real dude
Fat Larry would get his own game
Hahahahaha now you must tell me more!
Since its up for cheap on steam today I thougth that pushing this thread up would be great idea.
I have played it before but never with mods.
I already have it installed...now to find the time for playing it
This game has better writing than both, and I love Buffy.I've been binge watching Buffy (Finished) and Angel (Season 2 atm) this year. Thinking of getting this game since it's cheap.
I'm always on the fence about getting this. I guess I'm not sure what to expect going in.
This is exactly what i feel the past 6 years i found out this game exists. Some say the combat is not very good and that is what keeps me away. For now.
Just started this myself (along with Planescape). Finished the tutorial last night and I'm quite enjoying it.
Combat is naff, but I'm going in as pacifist as possible anyway. The world is pretty engrossing.
Occasional bouts of heavy unavoidable combat await you the second half of the game but even if you focus on social skills or stealth (lockpicking, sneaking, hacking) to avoid combat you should be able to make it out alive. You won't find armor often but be on the lookout for it at merchants. Good luck fledgling.
That's what I'm hoping to do, glad to hear it's a possibility. I'm very much into stealth, so I'm glad to see it's fairly robust. I've gone Toreador and named myself Constantine, so that should tell you all you need to know about the kind of playthrough I'm aiming for.
The stealth meter is taking a little getting used to, mind.
Don't be ashamed to cheat past unavoidable conflict, namely the final boss. It shouldn't be a thing in a game like this anyway.
Put some points into Celerity as Toreador. It's the best combat ability in the game, which is nice to have because there's stuff you can't resolve without violence. Stealth works fine for most things, though.
I did not level up sneaking once and I was still able to pass sidequests that demanded you use stealth in addition to sneaking past portions of main story missions. It's not a hugely important stat. I never played Toreador but it looks like your Auspex will help you with sneaking (although honestly with the 3rd person camera you can see around corners pretty effectively) while Presence will help with bosses. Lockpicking and Hacking will probably be more critical to you going unnoticed. You can do one, the other, or level up a little of both evenly. Up to you m8.
For social skills, keep in mind there is often an overlap. If you are already good at seducing people, for example, it may not be the best use of points to also level up intimidation or persuasion since in certain dialog trees you will just see multiple skills you can use that all end up accomplishing the same goal anyway.
Nice one, chief. Do guns, unarmed or melee work better with it?
