Arcanum is a weird game, probably like no RPG youv'e ever come across. an excellenct idea. old style swords and sorcery crossed with science and guns n' stuff. at first, its hard t o get into, but if you preservere, you find it grows on you. it's a very non-linear rpg. i found myself going to places witch had nothing to do with the story at all! but with all the things you could do, the way you could interact with everyone, was a welcome experience. the combat was sometimes annoying, but other than that, it's great. i haven't played this game in ages, i just thought of reviewing it when i was trawling through my big box of games when i came across my old copy of arcanum. if your into RPG's, and want to try something different, this is a must buy!!!
