    Tsk, tsk, laziness gets you nowhere...wait, that's not true..waht have I said! Laziness is the bane of all things evil and deviant, we all must act as Noth has..

    On a more seriosu not, a much more seriosu note, I think that some of the things you proposed in that thread would totally revamp the magick system, quite a task...

    In what way if I may ask? I suppose there are ways around that if you're right.

    Well, you want to have one spell that can have points put into it that makes it stronger isntead of upping aptitude for one. Sounds offly Diablo 2ish. Atleast Diablo had the dignity of having a magick stat and then letting you read tomes to gain more arcane knowledge(tomes wouldn't eb a bad idea for learning new spells, still goes against the spell system though)

    You're right about that. But there's one thing: I did not propose that. It was someone elses idea.

    I'm not saying it doesn't. I'm saying that the ideas on the magick system would be difficult to implement. Frankly, I like the current system just fine.

    Nothing wrong with that no.

    ps. I orriginally made the topic to bring up new ideas on the story-line. And later ideas on changing a lot of things flooded in. Since I made the topic I gave my opinion on a lot of those suggestions.

    Well to continue the topic, I think that a prequel should be made and you should be able to affect every aspect of the world, ultimately such events as Arronax being banished may not need to happen. You could stop these things. Also, techies should have the ability to take magickal items and melt them down promptly reprocessing the material into something useful like ore.

    Yes, that's a nice idea. But then you might have to come back to the time-machine suggestion, which I dont' think Troika will do.

    Nah, you could just create an alternate timeline for Arcanum.

    Ok, that's possible. Or you could play on another continent. Starting out from the story of what happened to arcanum would be nice. And then finding out about some cruel things that happened to Arcanum, but that would be a sequel, I still prefer prequel.

    No, no other continent bullshit, if the game is calle dArcanum, it is playe there, thus a prequel is best.

    Doubtable, but if they ever need a storyline, I'm their man! (Hear that Troika?? Oh wait, didn't DU(I.E, the man with no life) tell us the teams are complete? Ah well...

    They're gonna need more people for it, so if there are more application forms, I'll be sure to fill one in.
