    Has anyboddy else noticed, that all the guns fire more or less the same, if its a 2 handed weapon then your avatar holds it at the hip and you hear a lound WACHUNK. A better examble is the Hushed Revolver, sounds exactly the same as a normal revlolver. A friggin tranquilizer gun doesnt sound like a shotgun.

    Yeah, it's kinda annoying, but I'm still too busy being amazed the I have a gun in a fantasy game to complain...

    I don't know if the tranquilizer gun even is silenced but i think it's possible to tinker with sound effects. I don't remember where I read it but check some hacks and mods areas.

    I dunno, it was rather disapointing when the rest of the game was so good to have the sound effects so plain. And I cant TELL you how irritating the spells like Agility of Fire are. (I know I know there is a program on this site that kills those, but im just too lazy to do anything about it)

    I'm more dissapointed in the music. It really ruins the atmosphere at times. The sound is really this game's weakest spot. And the beauty of water spell sounds horribly.

    I cast agility of fire on virgil at one point, and the icon/sound effect/stat bonuses never left when I closed the spell after combat... try playing the entire game through with that beating sound... When the Caladon thugs killed him it left though.

    I think it's pretty hard to make graphics like Baldur's gate II when you want to include the option to build mods as in Arcanum. More in-game movies had been sweet though.

    **Shrug** Like I said, there are programs on this site http://www.tera-arcanum.com that will kill the annoying spell sounds. And welcome to the Forum Wes, and annother thing, doing that isnt a good idea
