    I'm doing that now, Mael. My mage has only a natural 8 in STR and DX. I use Earth and Fire spells to boost those stats before battle.

    The bonus for max perception is pretty bad, so the most perception you'll really ever want is 18.

    I'm playing now with base strength and dex, I have other people do the fighting for me...I'm very passive, I only have 3 persuasion as well, for more followers than with just 8 charisma :smile:.

    As for my favourite character type, I'd say that my half-orc technologist with max strength, dex, melee, dodge, intelligence and smithy was really good...

    Always like elves, or half-elves. And I just discovered that a mage can be fun and quite effective. Arcanum is the first game that I've played as a mage because it's the first time I've been able to use one effectively. (and I've played several other CRPGs). So I've been doing fighter/mage with high magic and melee expert ot master. - Edythe

    I'd have to agree with you about the half-elves - they are pretty cool. In CRPG's I tend to like the half breeds (except for half-ogres). I'm a fairly big fan of half-elves and half-orcs :smile:. Halflings as well, because they have 'half' in their name :smile:.

    That's what we need in the sequel - dual-wielding!

    Dammit, if I want to play a gunfighter with akimbo revolvers, then I want that now!

    If I want to be a maniac with two swords (obviously the dual-wielding has to be kept within limits, no one can wield two great swords one handed, except for maybe a half-ogre) then I want to be a maniac with 2 damn swords!

    Dammit, give us more weapons, items, spells, schematics and abilities. Arcanum is good, but there are some things you can't get enough of! More more more I say!

    That reminds me...MORE DAMN FOLLOWERS!

    Dammit, if I want more followers with voice acting, then I want more followers with voice acting! :smile:

    (Boy, do my past two comments make me sound like a little shit or what :smile:?)
