Title: Farewell, Arcanum Post by: rk47 on May 11, 2011, 09:03:14 AM Hi guys, I'm going to try a deep Role-Playing Radicalthon on one of the oldest and one of my most favorite RPG by Troika.
Arcanum of Steamworks & Magicka came out like every Obsidian products out there, buggy, broken mechanics, yet full of content that actually made it worth playing. Attempts to fix ALL the bugs have failed, until now gamers are still unable to unlock certain endings in the game due to some scripting error. The Video is there, in youtube but impossible to trigger during your normal playing course. Oh well. Since this is the first post, it be a table of contents, I suppose. I've done a few chapter updates in another forum, might as well just duplicate the whole thing to share the joy. Feel free to comment, oh, about the Character Background I picked, I picked Nietzsche Child - Additional +10% EXP but higher chance of critical failure, you'll see why it doesn't really matter. So, onward! Oh, excuse the lengthy LARP dialogues text added here and there, I just felt some dialogue choices just don't seem to mesh well with my character personality.

Now to make the decision whether I want to give this game another play through sometime soon or play vicariously by reading this.
Title: Re: Arcanum - Summoner : What happens if I LARP it to the next level? Post by: ezrast on May 13, 2011, 08:48:46 AM I fire up Arcanum every once in a while in an attempt to get over the terrible game-y bits for the sake of the awesome setting/atmosphere/story/character-building. Vicariousness might be just the thing for me.
But more likely I'll try to play it next week and give up 5 hours in again. Title: Re: Arcanum - Summoner : What happens if I LARP it to the next level?

I usually lose interest about 500 yards into one of the incredibly tedious mine cave places. Title: Re: Arcanum - Summoner : What happens if I LARP it to the next level?

Title: Re: Arcanum - Summoner : What happens if I LARP it to the next level? Post by: Goreschach on May 17, 2011, 04:30:08 AM Nice thread. I'm in the same camp as above. I've attempted to play Arcanum before, as the idea and art style really appeal to me, but I just can't get past the horrible interface, bugs, and overall awkwardness of the game. This will give me a chance to see more than about two hours of the game.
Title: Re: Arcanum - Summoner : What happens if I LARP it to the next level? Post by: Ingmar on May 17, 2011, 11:32:23 AM I did finish it once. It has one of the more WTF endings out there really, I'm not sure you missed much. The good stuff in the game is basically all in the cities.
Title: Re: Arcanum - Summoner : What happens if I LARP it to the next level? Post by: Paelos on May 17, 2011, 12:23:43 PM Never heard of this game. I'm along for the ride knowing nothing. Don't let me down! :awesome_for_real:

Title: Re: Arcanum - Summoner Ch.9 : Ashbury Post by: Strazos on May 18, 2011, 07:43:36 PM Any chance of getting a rundown of your current build?
Also...I remember trying to go through as a hybrid, and suffering hilarious results. Is such a thing even possible? I think what I wanted was to use the mechanical arms + magic armor, but I could never make it work. Title: Re: Arcanum - Summoner Ch.9 : Ashbury Post by: rk47 on May 19, 2011, 07:07:32 AM Any chance of getting a rundown of your current build? Also...I remember trying to go through as a hybrid, and suffering hilarious results. Is such a thing even possible? I think what I wanted was to use the mechanical arms + magic armor, but I could never make it work. Current build is just 4 ranks in summoner - having access to Hellgate, 15 Willpower. 2 ranks in Mental for the ever-critical stun to soften targets and control the battlefield. The rest are just gravy. Hybrid will somewhat work, but remain overshadowed by specialists. I can think of so many broken combinations in the game that overshadows hybrid completely: - Tech Melee - go fast with Balanced Sword or few-hit kills with Pyrotechnic Ax. Crowd control supplemented with molotov cocktail and choice stun grenades. - Ranged Tech with maxed firearms, pwning early targets with Fine Revolvers and dominating mid to late game with the Looking Glass Rifle. - Superfast Elven Assassin - Stun to drop enemy evasion to 0, then speed up with Haste to double your action points. Dagger of speed and Backstabbing skills optional. Even a simple Rapier with 17 Atk Spd will rape most targets in two rounds if you are hasted. - Retarded Juggernaut - Ran away with Circus Ogre 20 STR at starting game means = +20 damage per hit. This is not an exaggeration. This guy will make a mockery of the game writing and beat people to death in no time flat. - Title: Re: Arcanum - Summoner Ch.9 : Ashbury Post by: stu on May 19, 2011, 11:24:46 AM I don't know why this never occurred to me before, but I just realized that the game artwork looks a helluva lot like Glenn Fabry's work. Sure enough, it is. :drill:

Title: Re: Arcanum - Summoner Ch.11 : The Derian Ka Post by: rk47 on May 26, 2011, 09:16:21 PM F12 key is in game and it stores it in the game folder. I have to mess around with the cropping and stuff with Photoshop.
Fraps don't work with Arcanum for some reason. There's a widescreen high resolution patch mod somewhere floating in the internet. Pretty good stuff.

Title: Re: Arcanum - Summoner Ch.11 : The Derian Ka Post by: Paelos on May 27, 2011, 06:34:05 AM This story is very intriguing. Dwarves, Necromancers, Undead, and for some reason a dog!

Title: Re: Arcanum - Summoner Ch.12 : The Broken Wheel Post by: Strazos on May 28, 2011, 09:02:12 PM So disappointed I could never make this game work for me - seems incredibly interesting.
Title: Re: Arcanum - Summoner Ch.12 : The Broken Wheel Post by: rk47 on May 29, 2011, 07:15:47 PM WHat sort of issue are you facing? I got my copy running on WinXP
Title: Re: Arcanum - Summoner Ch.12 : The Broken Wheel Post by: Strazos on May 29, 2011, 07:24:27 PM I meant work in the emotional sense - it just never clicked with me for whatever reason. I don't normally gimp myself in games, but I somehow did with this one, I think because I wanted to be able to use both magical and technological arms so I ended up being not great with both.
Title: Re: Arcanum - Summoner Ch.12 : The Broken Wheel Post by: lamaros on May 29, 2011, 07:42:19 PM How much of what you write is actual dialogue and how much is made up rk? I've been assuming so far that it is a pretty even mix, but maybe you're making up most of it?
I don't think I will ever play the game through to the finish, but it is good to follow along. Title: Re: Arcanum - Summoner Ch.12 : The Broken Wheel Post by: rk47 on May 29, 2011, 08:06:14 PM Most of the extra dialogs are made up. But most of the major casts deaths are actually in-game like Bates & Dwarf King.
These major deaths do cause significant consequences to the ending. I'll try to make up lines to hint at that. Title: Re: Arcanum - Summoner Ch.12 : The Broken Wheel Post by: Strazos on May 29, 2011, 10:34:09 PM NO SPOILERS ! :drill:
If only because I really do like the game, and this is the closest I'm going to get to actually finishing it. Title: Chapter 13: The Trail to Qintarra Post by: rk47 on May 30, 2011, 04:38:58 PM Chapter 13: The Trail to Qintarra

Title: Re: Arcanum - Summoner Ch.15 : Renford A. Terwilliger Post by: Koyasha on June 01, 2011, 11:27:57 PM The dark helmet from that particular castle you got it from has a bug in that the changes it applies are permanent. Other dark helmets, those that sometimes randomly appear in wise women's shops and such, do not have that bug. Amusingly it can have some useful effects for an evil character - good characters that normally don't adventure with you if you're evil, I believe, will do so if they are evil too - turned evil by the helm counts.
I'm not sure but I think the bug is fixed in one of the unofficial patches or something, but I suppose you must not be playing with that particular one. Title: Re: Arcanum - Summoner Ch.15 : Renford A. Terwilliger Post by: rk47 on June 06, 2011, 06:49:25 PM Chapter 16 : Rebellion

Title: Re: Arcanum 30: Revelation Post by: Ingmar on August 02, 2011, 01:20:51 PM Just as an aside for those reading along, that Finger of Mannox is a bit wasted on Virgil (but rk47 isn't running any tech melee types so no big loss). It is technically not a magic item so your tech characters could wear and benefit from it, it is one of the few necklace slot items in the game that a tech character can make any real use of. Magnus is probably the best bet (or your own character if you're a tech type.)

Title: Re: Arcanum 32: Kingdom of Decline Post by: Paelos on August 31, 2011, 10:50:40 AM Haha, what exactly are you up to?
Title: Re: Arcanum 32: Kingdom of Decline Post by: rk47 on August 31, 2011, 10:58:02 AM Done. Finished cleaning the formatting. There should be less of an issue if people browsed from chapter to chapter since I spoilered everything. :) I can't believe I forget the spoiler feature!

Title: Re: Arcanum 33: Sadly Ever After Post by: rk47 on August 31, 2011, 06:56:39 PM Can someone verify whether the images are displaying correctly when you click on the show spoiler? Mine doesn't seem to work.
Title: Re: Arcanum 33: Sadly Ever After Post by: Strazos on August 31, 2011, 06:58:22 PM Works for me - Gimme Final Chapter! :grin:

Title: Re: Arcanum 33: Sadly Ever After Post by: rk47 on September 01, 2011, 09:20:03 PM Dead images for me. Double-checked. Seems fine...maybe the bandwidth issues are causing it.

Didn't see that coming. Title: Re: Arcanum 34: With Great Powers... Post by: lamaros on September 07, 2011, 06:19:39 PM What point a spoiler with Paelos around? :uhrr:

Title: Re: Arcanum 34: With Great Powers... Post by: Ingmar on September 08, 2011, 01:52:16 PM What point a spoiler with Paelos around? :uhrr: It stops it from spending 15 minutes loading images and scrolling away from what you were reading as other stuff loads? Title: Re: Arcanum 34: With Great Powers... Post by: lamaros on September 08, 2011, 08:32:34 PM I need a new way of denoting humour, it seems.

Title: Arcanum: The Final Chapter Post by: rk47 on September 25, 2011, 09:07:14 AM Farewell, Arcanum
Title: Re: Farewell, Arcanum Post by: Strazos on September 25, 2011, 09:31:43 AM Heh, awesome.
Now...can we get the alternate ending? :grin: Title: Re: Farewell, Arcanum Post by: Ingmar on September 26, 2011, 05:32:23 PM The ending where the game doesn't suddenly go to shit after you go through the ring? I've checked, it doesn't exist.
Title: Re: Farewell, Arcanum Post by: Koyasha on September 26, 2011, 05:56:26 PM Ah, very entertaining playthrough. I was wondering whether it was possible to defeat Kerghan without the Vendigroth Device or not, I presume it's not? I never really tried.
I have always been somewhat disappointed in this game's endings though. Mostly that, as far as I could tell, there was no pro-dark-elf ending. You could defeat Kerghan or join him, and what happened after you defeated him would depend on a whole slew of stuff throughout the game, but I never really got any endings that supported the Dark Elves or anti-technology in general, no matter how rabidly anti-tech I played the game. Title: Re: Farewell, Arcanum Post by: Paelos on September 26, 2011, 06:29:04 PM Good work. I never expected that!
