    Considering that Teleportation is instantaneous, your idea is not quite as good as you believe it to be.

    Did you just wilfully misunderstand my post? I simply, and specifically, said that nothing forces you to Teleport around -- hence nothing stops a magicker from just "walking the earth" until Doomsday, simply wandering to and fro on the map.

    I have half a mind to report you, young man...

    I think DE just prefers teleporation to waiting for your PC to walk somewhere. Essentially, it's his opinion that your suggestion sucks.
    Personally, I find that if I play a magickal character, I stop walking as soon as I learn teleport.

    What I remembered as the best moments in Arcanum is how I played a gnome-extratechie, whose tactics was to throw greandes of any types (and he really had at least 3 of each damaging grenades in inventory)... :roll:

    Ive mastered only in Gun craft and Therapeutics. But I thought that the time would stop around 1900? Can you play like to the 1950's?

    As far as I'm aware, except for the likely prospect that you will sooner hang yourself out of boredom, you could bring the game into the 21st century and beyond.

    Sadly, they don't. Then again, the only way to make that viable would be to have age incur stat bonuses and penalties anyway.

    It's not a bug. They simply chose to ignore it altogether. After all, theoretically, it could take a character a century to finish this game, and most humans don't make it that long, especially not when they begin in their twenties.

    Oh , but does things change when it's a different time or is it still the same shit in the 1920's like it was in the 1880's?

    It would be short of impossible to make a game like that. You'd have to take into consideration the invention and development of so many technological marvels, social change and... well, simply too much. For it to work, you'd have to put a time limit on Arcanum á la Fallout.

    Is there any of it in Morrowind?
    Still, in "Carribean Sea Pirates", or in some game resembling it, you're allowed only to play up to 40, and after that "you should change career. Now it's time for you to retire and live in a shack on seashore".
