Followers are the only reason I'll break character. I'm simply not going to play the game and get to level 20something before I have a reason to...
You're right. The big weapon/small weapon balance sucks in Arcanum. I've always believed the small weapon damage bonus should come from dex...
Tastes vary, but I take Jayna with every character that has followers, techie or otherwise. Virgil thinks he's a warrior and doesn't act like a...
I'd love to help, but I don't get into modding. I also think it would need to be built from the ground up (at least my vision of it). For me,...
RunAwayScientist, I agree with what you're saying. If there's no benefit to going through the motions, I don't see the point after the...
I get what you're saying, I just feel like it's a matter of guiding a character through a maze. I can't bring myself to pretend I don't know the...
The post that Muro made that you're talking about is this: In a way I agree with him and in a way I don't. It's silly to roleplay the game...
I like halflings. The extra crit chance + a couple of fated rings + a filament blade + called shots = devastating your enemies. As far as...
Isn't a fine steel dagger a pretty shitty reward for a quest? As a weapon it's OK for the early game, but as a reward? At least give me...
I always dump his staff and give him a Sword of Defense and a shield. This tends to offset his "kill grizzlies by forcing my head down their...
This is the sort of thing I'm talking about. Sure, when we first get the game, we're trying to build uber characters and end up with a...
For RP purposes, I do things a little differently: I don't explore the crash site because I just agreed to go to Shrouded hills not run around...
Elite plate isn't something you can get early so its being powerful is fine. Charged rings trade 2CP of yours for 2CP for every party member so...
This IMO is one of the biggest problems balancewise in Arcanum when you're discussing Tech VS Magick. With tech, you devote your character...
I've always considered gunslingers OK with everything else overpowered. It just makes a more interesting game to me to have a party that has to...
Y'know how your character and followers will occasionally juke off in a different direction because of the way the game calculates the walking...
I think the most surprising thing I've seen lately was taking Doc Roberts's quest at the bank. After the baddies are all dead, I exit combat and...
Um, yeah it pretty much is the same - it's being convincing. Yes, it's easier to convince someone of a lie that seems to benefit them, but it's...
These saying the same thing (the second is just more specific) It's not always a person's base personality that determines major actions in his...
Oh, I definitely agree that they should have worked on their personalities and if I had to chose either MORE or MORE FLESHED OUT, I'd go with the...
Separate names with a comma.
