The only character I ever kept past getting them was Sogg Mead Mugg. He was awesome! But having a stupid ogre was the best: "You stupid Voigal! You stupid me smawt! I do talkin now Voigal!"

I gave up on Arcanum after my 30th trek back and forth between the Wheel Clan mines and the big city... the one with the train... aarrgh, brain fart!

Anyway, yes, it was a great game until my shotgun-toting, molotov-chucking dwarf and his idiotic companions (Virgil and Dog! Woo! Go, non-tech companions!) kept doing the same thing over and over and over and over again. It was such an awesome setting that, to my knowledge, nobody has repeated since, and it had such a deep storyline (or potential for one, anyway) that I feel a little guilty for bailing on it .

Maybe once I work through my growing collection of abandonware (must... relive... childhood!) I'll ressurrect Sulir Hairsparks IV and give Arcanum another shot and, who knows, maybe we can get some multiplay happening.

That's why I played an elven magicienne who quickly learned Teleport spell. :whistle:

Yeah, except you quit playing before you got halfway through... And there is much more to the plot, since some twists you discover on the very ending...

Arcanum is my favorite RPG, but I never tried it on-line, how does that work, like co-op or something?
Is it nesesary to download something to play it on-line?

Essentially it's co-op. And good, since the battles are played real-time and the enemies are much stronger than in SP.

Everything you need is already in the game, altough you might want to download additional scenarios for more variety.

i think arcanum is more of a single player experience. While being one of the best crpgs in my opinion, it wouldnt play so well multi

Arcanum is truly a genious RPG ..but there is also a lot of downsides about the game.. but its still one of the best games i've ever played (but i've never managed to win it D: ..)

multiplayer would be fun

If my pc was faster, I was playing with _r.u.s.s., Tomekk, and TheChosen, but i lagged em' to much, so being the genorous stealthy gentalman barbarian that I am, left them so they would have a fast game

Sigh
