Some questions about Arcanum (final release)

1. When scrolling in town map screen does it jump 'bit by bit'?
2. Can NPCs learn custom schematics/spells purchased in shops? If no then if you learn it yourself but have no knowledge required for assembling what it describes however one of NPCs in your party has such knowledge - does the game take his skills into account thus allowing you to put together whatever was in the schematic?
3. Are parts of town in the outskirts covered in black on the map screen even though you explored the area?
4. What version does the the game say it is (w/o patches)?
5. Is the world editor good (ie mostly does it have many options and is still easy to use)?

 

1. yes
2. no
3. black edges define the town border and are therefore unalterable
4. dunno, i patched
5. haven't used it

WorldEd would be a lot easier to use if there were really good docs for it.

 

4) 1.0.6.4

 

Thank you for all answers though I'd like them to be different. :sad: After Calis' answer I also know that Sierra just kept players waiting while doing nothing as I once gathered info about ISO version and it's also 1.0.6.4. and I'm really pissed at them.

 

Actually, Leon (I think it was Leon) explained that on another forum... they put in a few cheats to show the game somewhere, and that automatically upped the version number of the build that was on their network. Hence, when they checked what the latest build was after the ISO got out, they came up with 1.0.6.6
