Void Ring + Suit of Resistance

So you can get a Void Ring from the corpse of a Bludgenoner in the Void.
But does it do anything?

Also, whilst on a killing spree in Arcanum, I discovered that the owner of Seaside Salvage is wearing what seems to be a Suit of Resistance: a suit with special stats. Are there any more of these special suits in the game?

 

Interesting - I've never seen that. I usually see the items with +TH, but I'm still surprised I haven't seen it before you posted. It just goes to show that it's still possible to find things in Arcanum that one doesn't know about, no matter how many play throughs.

 

Well, it looks like I'll have to fate point + pickpocket the hell out of that guy.

 

You should be nice and pickpocket the Dark helm, or something akin to it onto him.

 

Oh, so if I were a Master Haggler, I could just buy the suit he's wearing? Is that what you're saying? I always thought, Haggle simply made stuff cheaper and you got better prices for your stuff yourself if you wanted to sell something. I'm aware of other unique items in the game, like medallions and a rare weapon here and there, but I never knew there were special outfits as well - special as in: not for sale in the shops in Arcanum.

I see. But close to the place where I found it (left to main entrance of the Void building complex), there is already such a central teleporter platform, isn't there? Or does that appear when you have the ring in your inventory (not equipped)?

Anyway: Arcanum remains a great game. I've finished it for probably the tenth time now and I'm just amazed at the fact that there are still things in that world that I do not know. The only games that were able to pull the same stunt on me are Fallout and Fallout 2. Those two and Arcanum are probably my most favourite games ever. They're works of genius. I kid not.
