Holy fuck, I didn't remember half of those. And never knew 2, 6 and 8.

 

This is a great thread. I only knew 2 of those 9. FUCK I need to actually play through this game past the wheel clan one of these days.

 

Yup. My game save files are all titled "this guy won't last" and "WHY CAN'T I FINISH THIS FUCKING GAME" or something very similar.

 

It actually took me YEARS to finish Arcanum. I started in 2001 and played through about 50-75% of the game. I think somewhere past the wheel clan. But then my motivation in the plot fizzled. In about 2005 I jumped back in and kept pushing onward, just so I could see how the game finished. I'm sure I didn't see many of the side quests, and I didn't do anything with the shrines/gods.

I am ashamed to say the farthest I got in Planescape: Torment is right outside the morgue. I didn't find the morgue very interesting. But after all the ballyhoo about how great the story is (and I very much love a good story) I feel I MUST replay the game and see it through to the end.

My favorite plot hook is still 'find the water chip or we're all fragged' :lol:

 

Heh, I was done with Arcanum in a few months

 

The first time I played the game it took me a while to beat. The second time I played it (which was a few months ago) I beat it in about 2 weeks :lol:

 

Oooh, very good, Vorak - full points for 3 (Dark Elf already got 1); half points for 4; goose-egg for 1.

I meant before that for #4.
#7 is wrong. Where did the train come from (i.e. the line)?

1 full point for rroyo.

 

I have no idea what #10 is because I haven't gotten that far! DAMMIT IT'S EVEN MARKED EASY

By the time I found this board, I was already on character #3. It was initially an honest location statement, now it's an ironic disclosure at my inability to get far in this game.

10. it's Pelojian, right? Or was he just bound to the fountain after he died...

 

bingo - you get a point.
