Best race to play?

Just using simple logic, TH...plain old logic.

 

You'd be surprised how good a Halfling with the "Ran Away With The Circus" background works. That is what I am using right now and with immense fun. Plus the + crit hit chance IS noticable...

 

Best race to play? Try out Davord, my half-orc who is the Master of Bow, Melee, Dodge, Throwing, Pickpocketing and Firearms.

Sorry to boast, but he's bloody good

 

I like Humans and Half-Orcs myself. It seems that everyone here plays mages, or Dwarven Smiths, I myself have had a splendid time playing Human technologists. The guns may be weak (Well, I've modified mine to hell now, so they're pretty good.), but give a man some knock-out-gas grenades, and he can take down an army.
I dont know why, but I just enjoy RPing humans and hafl-orcs the most. I did have one really fun Elf character, however the game glitched and his life was ruined.

 

Elves have ST penalty. Half-Elves are a better choice for a smith.

Now an elf who is a new convert to technology, who changed his enchanted elven bow for a Pyrotechnic one...

 

Pyrotechnic? :dead:
Come on, do you really think technology can surpass magic?

 

I certainly do. Pyro bow is the best.

 

Amen

 

Well, yes, maybe it inflicts more damage and so on, but it is technological ( :frownyes: )!!! I would never dare to walk in public with such foul weapon.

 

If the public has something against me I just kill them

 

The public has nothing against me because I despise technology just like they.

 

I find that public mostly like the Magikal characters but then also some hate them and won't trade with them (I'm a day mage and so only trade with armour smiths at night!) but as tech, people have less of an extreme reaction to you and you never really go into a magik shop as a tech but as a mage you go into armories etc to sell stuff and they don't want to trade.

Anyway ELVES RULE ALL. They are better than dwarves, half-orcs and -orges, halflings they trounce (sleazy little theivey types all of them kill most on sight!! Or if they annoy me like Jongle and the door man in Tarrant) humans and good for bandit types and all round fighters but lame in anything else also Elves have the hype and the background (but stunties don't like them much. I kill stunties for fun :x )

 

I wish elves ruled all... But major cities in Arcanum are ruled by humans and gnomes :-x This isn't right.

 

Well play a dark elf follower and make it happen.

 

Yeah, I think I'll do that. Some day...

 

Hehehehehe. :evil:

Take everything, give nothing back.

Half elves are nice- better at not getting killed in the beginning by fighters :thumbup:

 

Half-elves seem to be the best race in hole arcanum... well for me they are well balanced

 

Half elves are the best.....i still cant play the game as a dwarf, too dam hard
