Well, assuming that Troika makes a Arcanum2...

What do you think would be a good idea to make the sequal 'refreashing'? More tech and mage skills? 3d graphics? better MP capabilities? Better Sp aspects? Diffrent setting?

Personaly I think a RPG in a 'pure victorian' time would be fun. perhaps in the future magick has finally died, as so with the magickal creatures. Maybe more of a Thief: The Dark Project setting (more realistic)

 

How about same world, different setting? Like a North Africa style setting or a China style setting. That way you could do different techs and magicks...

 

Personaly, I think they should not do Arcanum 2. That is not make it a sequal. I think it would be better to let this world rest for a bit and do something else.

I like the idea of a different part of the world. Maybe go from Victorian Industrialisation to Early Imperlism. going out and "discovering" new worlds to exploit.

personally i'd like to see the World of Arcanum during the 1940s or 1970s *g*

actually i'm with gus partly, not that i want a setting before arcanum, eather after.

perhaps an alternative world today or so...

 

I really hope that Troika will keep on pushing the creative edge (in regards to setting) with their games. Doing the basic same thing again might not be as fun though. Maybe Arcanum2 will be made by Sierra after Troika moves on? Stranger things have happened... :wink:


Genre: RPG, what else?

Graphics: 3d isometric, hell... why not? Remember this is a game released in a few years. It'd be nice to use a larger variety of character visuals based on armor and weapons. And don't forget heigth levels!

Rpg Engine: Updated STEAM, why bother with a new one when the one they have is purdy darn good. Just add two weapons et c.

Setting: Have there been any really good sci-fi RPG's? Knights of the Old Republic might be the first, or maybe Troika should try one?

Just some insane ramblings

I'll reserve comment about changing the Arcanum world until I see gold and what the world looks like populated with people and towns and such.

A couple of things that I'd like to see are a smaller menu window at the bottom/top so you can see more of the playing area.

Also I'd like to see the ability to delete save games and have the option to rename existing ones from within the save/load game menus. It would be a lot better than having to do that thru explorer.

 

I agree with Blunder on this one, renaming and deleting the saves (at least one of these).

But if you talking about sequel, I have no problem. Look at FF or Ultima series, as long there is lots of quests, humor and surprises they can make Arcanum 14 and I would still probably buy it.

[149 to go] :grin:

 

Yeah...Look at the Leisure Suit Larry series. That one was humerous. :grin:

 

I think you can delete save games from arcanum. There isn't a gui button but when I hit the delete key it asked me if I wanted to delete the save game

 

Thanks Hunter. I'll give that a try. Also, before you ask, that thing under your name is a railroad spike. :smile:

Welcome to the board seeing that that was your first registered post. Sit back, get comfy and come along and enjoy the ride. :grin:

 

The simplest thing are never tried. :smile:

 

Hey Sethmage... Our posts are so close, I wonder which one of us will get the hammer first. Either way though, I bet we have it by the end of June. :grin:

 

Bunder, I’m old guy. I still enjoy good RPG or even shooter, but my wife won’t let me use too much computer so most of my post are made from work or very late when she is sleeping. So as you can see it’s unlikely I will get hammer before release, but good luck to you. :wink:

 

Same with me Seth. Most of my posts are from work when time allows too. Home is mostly for playing. I'm just on the underside of middle aged. Be there in a couple more years. I enjoy a good RPG also and strat games like Civ2. Have faith. You'll get there sooner than you think. Happy typing. :wink:

 

Haha! MonkeyPunch has a good idea! Imagine Elven mages with afros and red & orange rainbowed bellbottem pants....

Ogers with sideburns...

Halflings wearing a white disco suit along with that large golden medallian necklace...

Dwarfs with greatful dead t-shirts...

Gnomes wearing go-go boots!

Technology schematics would be like the pong machine and those shoes with 'fishtank' soles! Herbology would still be there, of course... (weed + more weed= a big ass joint)

 

I'd like to see arc2 with tech taken over and magic is banned(of course ppl will still use it).

Also, i think I'd like to see what Arcanum1 is like before making any plans on arc2.
