Lukan & crossing the bridge (possible spoiler!)

Hi everybody! Sorry if this was already mentioned (I searched for it but couldn't find anything similar). I decided to play as a Charlatans Protege so I have +6 Charisma at the start. When I wanted to cross the bridge (my Persuasion was 4), I got an option in the conversation with Lukan to talk as a thief in disguise from The Underground. At the end, he gives me 200 coins and the key to the gate.
This never happened to me so I wonder is this something commonly known or is it new to you too?

 

You're not the first one to choose the Charlatan's Protege background and start with 16/20 Persuasion, you know.

 

After all these years, I wonder if there's still something waiting to be revealed in Arcanum. It would be amazing to see a post here with a real discovery.

 

Welcome to the forum, klinikk!

Phadech: There is this little goodie:

Wait, we have a new Turk?

Merhaba, baskalarinin da Arcanum'u bu foruma girebilecek kadar sevdigini bilmiyordum. Nerelisin?

 

Ben muz gibi!

You are aware that the "new one" has an account which is nearly nineteen times as old as your one, right? I'm guessing that you mentally merged klinikk and Phadech into one twisted being.

 

Oh, my... I know the game is old, but I just read that there is a new player here and I'm sure he's not the only one. Maybe you know every and tiny bit of it, but that doesn't mean that everybody else know it too. So, cool down your ego and don't act like everything you know is commonly known.

Ps: I'm sorry for your loss of the feeling when you discover something new

Really?! No way! I thought I came up with that first! :lol:

Yeah, I'd like to know it too I played the game in various combinations over the years and every time discovered something new - that's the reason I still consider it the best game ever. I don't like walkthroughs so I can't say I mastered it like some of you did, but that is the beauty of it - to digg something new is the best!

Thank you! I'm glad I'm here

No, Mesteut, I'm not a Turk. I don't understand your question, except the part where you ask where I'm from - and the answer is: Croatia.

 

That was your question and Xz answered it with saying, that it is commonly known. Your rant in response is nonsensical at best.

You may not like walkthroughs, but the fact is that we do have a walkthrough section and it's there for a reason, so it would be a good idea to check if something you want to say isn't already in there before starting a new thread in order to officially enlighten us that the Earth is spherical (or cubic). The first time was forgivable, but now that you are aware of the said section's existence, repeating the same mistake will make you look silly.

So you're suggesting that we should firstly annihilate the walkthrough section, search button and the sticky threads, and then repost every single Arcanum-related information at least once a week in case someone new appears? Why, that sounds reasonable.

 

Thanks. That looks interesting.

Ankara.

Arcanum is still one of my favorites (especially after seeing all those "modern" abominations like Fallout 3 which are obviously designed for 10 year old kids and housewives instead of gamers) so I tend to lurk here from time to time but as you see I don't post much.

You mean, you've been playing Arcanum all these years and you hadn't convinced Lukan to leave until recently? Does it really take that long to get rid of Lukan without reading a walkthrough? Maybe I should have also isolated myself from all spoilers and there would be still new secrets to be discovered...

 

Ahhh... I'd say "Have fun with Melih Gökçek", but we failed to get Kiliçdaroglu elected, and thus we're stuck with Kadir Topbas. Still, Ankara is quite a nice place... Except Çinçin(?), but that's just one part.

And yeah, totally agree on what you said about new games.

@New Guy: I directed that question to Phadech, as you can see. No problem though, not quoting people might lead to confusion.

 

Gökçek, Topbaş... Same shit, different assholes. Don't get me started.

 

Oh, I convinced Lukan to let me go either by killing him or by stealing the key from him. I just didn't have Persuasion and Charisma as high as this time at that point in the game - that's way I never got the opportunity to do it in "wise" way.



@Muro Lightning : I didn't suggest anything - silly me, I just wanted to share a little discovery of which I didn't know. Perhaps I overstepped my bounds. Good day to you...

 

@Klinikk: "As high"? You only need one point in Charisma to persuade Lukan, or namely 4/20.

@Phadech: Good to see you aren't a "AKP'li".

 

Nevah!

 

Except for a couple of grandmaster players/advisors, anyone who has completed this or any other CRP game more than 5 times really needs to get a life. I know, I'm still trying to find one!

 

But playing a CRPG again and again is the whole point of it, no?

After all, they are not linear garbage games with porno-quality plot and voice acting whose whole content is easily discovered in one (or a few) runs. Especially Arcanum. If you've beaten a high quality CRPG 5 times, it doesn't mean you're an obese four-eyed virgin who needs to get a life. It only means you've just begun getting into it.

 

IM sorry I could'nt help but laugh my ass off after this response and this is my first day on this site.

 

OH you know what Ive never been able to do, Confince the king of the wheel clan to get out of his little hole.
