Random Game I Like #35: Arcanum of Steamworks and Magic Obscura

Arcanum by Troika Games (you know, the Fallout guys) is one of the most unique fantasy RPGs in existence. It's set in a steampunk world which influences every aspect of the game. Character creation is especially changed, because instead of just being some type of magic user, or a thief, or a fighter, you can instead use technology to achieve the same goalss. This makes the game incredibly replayable. Despite it's clunky interface and non-noteworthy graphics, it's still definitely worth playing for the great story, gameplay, and atmosphere.

Comment Yeah, I'm playing a necromancer now and I have Harm. It's so much easier than my previous electircal engineer/gun guy.

Comment I played through this game 3 or 4 times. It's the best. If only the massive game imbalances were fixed in the patches... "I can throw nearly unlimited amounts of grenades? The grenades only hurt foes? Why do I need anything but rags and gas? And don't get me started on the HARM spell...It's level 1 and no other attack spell compares to it."
