    Oh Jojobobo, you've even replied in the thread in which it was brought up last time.

    It's as if you don't even spend your entire spare time thinking about old posts and browsing these forums.

    Sad!

    Looks like I've been Trumped. In fairness to myself, I didn't reply after it was mentioned in that thread - so I'll claim ignorance! It still seems like a rare encounter, if Muro couldn't get it to work.

    Good morning!

    You're drunk Zanza, and you go home!

    I learnt early on that if you repeat exactly what the mean people say, it's an unassailable defence in all circumstances. It obviously worked on the reddit earlier.

    Good morning.

    What happens when your Arcanum party uses Bronwyk's Gun, a Flamethrower, a Tesla Gun and a Grenade Launcher all at once? Turns out, it's a lot of fun...

    And I know what you might be thinking...

    "But Jojobobo, aren't Sebastian, Vollinger and Franklin Payne's strength scores capped at 9, 9 and 7 respectively - even at level 50 - making them too weak to use big guns effectively?"

    Well, with a little bit of Muscle Maker, you can permanently alter their stats, and offset the drops in perception needed for the firearms skill with Eye Gear (or Goggled Helmets, if you can make them). It helps they all level their perception to 20, meaning that you can have a 4 point shift to strength while maintaining 18 perception.

    "But what about training in firearms Jojobobo? I've heard that followers in Arcanum don't even train to apprentice in firearms, so they'll be awful slow."

    Well not if you take the Educator background, which I obviously did.

    "Jojobobo, this fake quote style is really annoying, and makes you come across like a complete douchebag."

    I know.

    I think when I get round to fighting the Willenbecker gang, I might get slightly aroused.

    Good morning!

    The recent influx of Jojobobo posts make my own contributions to this thread seem inferior. I should probably be inexplicably passive aggressive to people who do not even know about this forum.

    Good evening.

    It's the simple equation of unemployment + trying to put off PhD viva revision = massive amounts of procrastination, both on Arcanum and around the internet in general.

    Good morning.

    Excuse me, but Arcanum being fun in certain specific circumstances was covered quite comprehensively in 2001 on these forums. It has been known to everyone here for years, and I myself had a moment of fun during my fifth play through when I found some charcoal in a trash can in Tarant.

    Now kindly keep your exuberance to yourself.

    Good morning.

    Not you too, Louis CK!

    It seems to me that a lot of these people would have been far better off just paying for a high end escort/prostitute from time to time rather than exposing themselves to/fondling/raping unwilling women. While seeing a prostitute itself can be scandalous, it's no way near as career damaging as what they have been doing (Hugh Grant still gets work, just not as much as he did do).

    Good morning.

    Jojobobo is continuing to over-explain his previous joke in an attempt to prolong the humorous effect.

    Good morning.

    Looks like EA fucked up, gaining the most downvoted post in Reddit history. On the upside, I'm sure it'll make them change their policy of paid-for gamble lootboxes and their limitless greed... obviously.

    Good morning!

    Wasn't a 75% hero cost reduction essentially what they were running in the Beta though? So after the Beta they were testing the water to see how much they could screw people over in terms of forking out cash (simultaneously encouraging lootbox gambling, which there seems to be growing concern about as it mirrors real life gambling), and now they've returned to the Beta prices - which testers already told them were too high? Doesn't really seem like medal worthy behaviour.

    I guess I haven't played an EA game in years, but it's always good to see a bit of bite back from a player base when they're getting screwed over. I think people on Reddit and elsewhere and now looking to complain straight to Disney, so that EA will get slapped around for treating the license so poorly.

    Good morning.
