War

There should be a war between magick and technology and you weould have to choose which side you were on. It would be like you were the follower and not the leader because you would be an underling in the army. Which ever side won would be able to mould the world of Arcanum for their own uses.

 

too complicated. you might as well be not the living one. the game is supose to be about you being the "living one" as virgil will put it. so.... I have no clue! LOL :lol: any way I think the game should be about you living on as the "Living one" that's just me.....


this post made me an aprentice!!!!! yeah!

 

It is not meant for you to be the "living one" in Arcanum. Thats just the story they picked as the thing for less imaginative people to follow (or lazy) being the living one isn't the only way to play.

 

Besides, you weren't the living one anyway. Nasrudin says so.

 

It wouldn't be anything to do with the living one as you would be a different character from who you were in the last game and a different story

 

The prophecy was fulfilled more or less word for word, how much more 'Living One' can you get?

 

Not much. :smile: I think that it ought to take place a couple hundred years after the first and you should be an entirely new character, not the one you were in the first one.

 

Now that's just silly. A war between magick and technology? That implies governments running both, which is total nonsense. That's like saying we should have a war between forks and toothpicks.

 

It's not exactly silly, for example, Tulla, Quintarra, and Tsen-Ang are pure magic, Dernholm forbids it and Tarant, Ashbury and Blackroot can simply kick mages out anytime. The dwarven clans are also pure tech, and Caladon can be neutral since they hold no dispise to anything. Therefore, it would be one government against another, not a weird civil war.

 

M.T. has a point, but I think the magic/technology war has already been played in Arcanum already, well, of course, either that, or it's the point where people are getting tense about it.

 

On the other hand, MT, Black Root, Caladon, and Tarant were all individual governments. There are few things more boring than the epic battle between two warring nations; you need more than two to give it some variety. Besides, Tarant, Caladon, Ashbury, Black Root, and every other city except Vendigroth, Dernholm, and Tulla don't make any decisions one way or the other; the war would be limited to three participants and a hell of a lot of random bystanders, especially considering the weakness and/or complete lack of knowledge of the existence of the three warring powers.
