Effort to buy Arcanum rights

Except me; I prefer the Hittites.

Not the same period, though.

 

Just commenting on the main topic of this thread, sorry, please continue your off topic ramblings.

Why would anyone seriously even WANT the rights to Arcanum? It's not like it was a that amazing setting, the game is wonderful, but if you really could make a game, why not make it in a SIMILAR universe?

What made Arcanum great, to me at least, was the amount of choises in there, and the great story. And that is something I would appreciate no matter what setting it took place in. But it's not something that is greated no matter what team you have.

Also, a action RPG? WHAT THE FUCK? The action parts of Arcanum were the worst ones, and sure it would be cool to run around shooting ogres and were-rats, but is that what made Arcanum great to you? Then I HOPE you won't get a reply from Sierra/Vivendi. I assume you weren't serious about the MMORPG part, heh, it was actually pretty funny, good joke.

 

I liked the brains-affecting-your-diary part, when my no-brain half ogre scribbled such gibberish in the diary that I hardly understood what it said.

Too bad the notes shifted back to normal as soon as he got smarter.

 

Oh man, I'm with you on that.


"Today, I had a relevation. I suddenly realized I'm deadly smart. Holy cow."

 

If I was the character, I'd never grow smart. You're way too cool when you're an idiot.

 

Just try the braindead stuff when you're also of troll birth (or whatever: ugly as hell). Hardly anyone could understand what I said, and half the population of Arcanum hated me on sight.

Makes it a bit hard to do the quests or even move the story along.

 

No it doesn't. Just kill everything in your way and you can clear out the game, alright.

It's not hard at all.

 

I did waste Bates upon meeting him, after pissing him off in response to his rant on orcish matters. That's what that whatchamacallit spirit-raising spell is for.

 

Exactly. The only thing you need, if you wish to follow the main storyline all the way, is to read. And fight. And since you should be able to do both, being either a half-orc or an ogre (best choices), there are no problems what so ever.

 

Poor Trossy did actually have a nice soul, a good heart. Thing is, HoL might not have been the right place to evolve his ideas. My opinion might not be worth that much, but who cares?

 

He deserves nothing. He does not even deserve to die.

 

Um... Never?
