    Don't you need the Velorian Charm? After all, it is scripted to teleport you to Moorindal's place after Kergan's death-scene.

    Just put the new charm that is with the Vendigroth Device into one of your quick use boxes and leave it there while you are in the Void.

    You guys have piqued my interest. I'm installing Car Arcanum.

    You're just now getting around to that?

    At any rate, you won't be sorry. Chris did a pretty good job.

    Well I didn't get arcanum until about two years ago, and my previous attempt at installing Car Arcanum lead to me needing to re-install Arcanum completely.
    I like it already! Of course, now I want to make custom backgrounds for THIS version of the game...
    Seeing as there's so much I don't know about this, "new land," I may need to plow through everything as The Juggernaut!!

    The Juggernaut would perfect for Car-Arcanum!

    Enjoy the adventure.

    Oh, could you post the specs for The Juggernaut? I'd like to add him to my backgrounds.

    As soon as I get a working Juggernaut background, I'm putting the specs on this site.
    It's surprisingly tough to not crash the game when I make the changes to certain backgrounds.

    OK..... It sounds like I need to think long and hard before I try adding any fancy ones.

    Yeah, certain stuff just won't work, as far as I can tell. Of course, there's a specified limit as to how many backgrounds are displayed.
    Also, all of the numbers you put in for the corresponding backgrounds/effects/definitions have to make sense, otherwise the game will crash as soon as you select a certain background.
    I'm gonna see where I can go with it tonight, and I might have a working product in an hour or two.

    Hmm...
    A noob here.
    Since this thread is about Car Arcanum, I'll ask my question here rather than in a new thread.

    I haven't play Arcanum before so I am wondering if Car Arcanum actually changed most stuff in the original game.
    Are there like more followers and quests?

    I will be starting the game today without any mods and try to complete it within a week. XD

    Welcome to the forum.

    To answer your question, Chris didn't change as many things as just add to them. There was 30 new thieves quests added, somewhere around four to six new potential followers, and a ton of new places to go and monsters to kill.

    Just a suggestion, if you haven't done so already, go through this thread and the other Car-Arcanum threads. You'll find answers to questions you haven't run into yet.

    Well now I know why I can see every trap in front of me. That dog has saved my "life" hundreds of times.

    Who could possibly forget the chicken raping mutant?
    He also moonlights as a children's magician. Do you know where he's hiding the rabbit?

    Not a clue on the rabbit. Of course, I never really tried to find out.

    Something about pulling a rabbit out of the ass disturbs me...

    That disturbs most people. What's more disturbing is finding out to whom the ass belongs.
