Arcanum: Of Steamworks & Magick Obscura (Video Game)	comment	Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura is an expansive and very open-ended Role-Playing Game where Tolkienian High Fantasy meets Vernian Steampunk, courtesy of the designers behind the first two Fallout games.Much of Arcanum deals with Item Crafting and character building — many of the items in the game can be used to build other items. It contains a very detailed setting and a well-designed scenario, as well as vast amounts of political backstory in the game's libraries, newspapers, and legends. The game retains a cult following similar to its cousin Fallout, and is additionally often very favorably compared to Baldur's Gate II and Planescape: Torment, although Arcanum's detail focuses more on its setting's history and mechanisms than on its playable characters.The IFS Zephyr has just begun her maiden voyage, a marvelous, high-society venture through the clouds. Aboard, the cream of high society enjoys the flight, playing chess, sipping fine wine, etc. Sadly, nothing good can last forever — and, out of the blue, the airship is attacked by a pair of ogres flying primitive fighter planes. Within moments, the vessel goes down in flames.There's only one survivor, the player character — and, as they crawl out of the wreckage, a dying gnome begs them to take his ring to "the boy". Immediately after the gnome succumbs to his wounds, the player character emerges from the rubble and is approached by a man named Virgil, who claims to have found the reincarnation of a long lost prophet... and that's where the story properly takes off.As they journey through Arcanum, the player can join up with a number of companions. Although their personalities are often not as well-defined as those of some non-playable characters in the game, many of them are (very nicely) voiced, and they all contribute to the plot and interact with each other. Many of them are hidden, and many of them require very specific alignment, charisma stats and dialogue from the player before they even suggest joining the party. Similarly, the player often needs to meet very specific aptitude requirements before certain quests are even mentioned, meaning that no two playthroughs are the same and that each new player character will have a unique experience.Arcanum has a level cap of 50, which encourages players to specialize in very specific types of magic or technology. (However, a no-CD-patch combined with a level cap remover patch can quickly fix that.) Uniquely, knowledge of technology in Arcanum disables magical aptitude, and vice versa, so that the player will always have to choose between the two (or find a very, very careful balance) and (eventually) be shunned by the other branch.Remarkably, the game is still being tested and patched by a squadron of devoted fans today. The game is now available on GOG.com, with the notorious bugs fixed and the game adapted to modern systems. In August 2016, it made it onto Steam as well.A sequel — titled Journey to the Centre of Arcanum and using Half-Life 2's Source engine — was in its initial planning stages, but Sierra and Valve had disagreements, and Troika Games' dissolution sealed the game's fate.

Arcanum: Of Steamworks & Magick Obscura (Video Game) / int_14ed6ab7	comment	Everyone looks down on orcs. Elves and dwarves simply hate them; humans and gnomes use them for slave labor in a direct allegory of black slavery. The book series "The Orcish Question", found in the Tarant library, goes into a lot of detail about both sides of the debate, including some contributions by Orcs themselves. There are many almost-explicit comparisons to Africans and to Jews in the discourse, which neatly lampshades the trope: unlike in real world racism, Orcs actually tend to have lower intelligence and a more violent nature than the authors. Odd thing, though — if you play a half-orc they have the same base intelligence stat, and a lot of the orcs you can talk to don't really seem stupid or violent at all, just uneducated and underprivileged. As for the manual entry...

Even the "good" Quintarran elves are incredibly smug and Holier Than Thou. For example, when an elf is found killed, their only suspect is their token dwarf because elves don't kill other elves.

Arcanum: Of Steamworks & Magick Obscura (Video Game) / int_164583e3	comment	Purely Aesthetic Gender: Averted. Females of any race (where applicable) gain one point of Constitution and lose one point of Strength. The maximum possible value for a stat is 12 added to the starting value from race and background, and hitting 20 in a status gives you bonus (for example, doubling damage for strength) on top of normal effects for increasing stats, so females can't get that bonus without a background adjusting their strength value. Gender also affects dialog, though there's only a few times this is more then just sir/ma'am pronouns etc, such as the Gentleman's Club in Tarrant. However, it does mean that female characters are slightly better mages (because of the Endurance boost), and the Tomboy background gives +1 STR / -1 CON, essentially undoing the gender adjustment. This does, however, prevent females from accessing other, more useful backgrounds.

Arcanum: Of Steamworks & Magick Obscura (Video Game) / int_16972b3c	comment	Peninsula of Power Leveling: One early Side Quest involves the discovery and destruction of a one-way dimensional portal spawning enemies from the final dungeon. The intent is to use a device which instantly collapses the portal from a safe distance. However, there's nothing stopping you from fighting the enemies. Each time you kill an enemy, another is immediately spawned by the portal to replace it, going through a rotation of different types until it runs out. With careful kiting to keep from being swarmed, you can level grind using the enemies until the supply is exhausted. You'll jump about twenty to thirty levels for your trouble, in a game where the Level Cap is only fifty.

As a tradeoff, they come with negative effects that make using them debilitating, if not outright dangerous over long periods. For example, the Ring of Shadows casts permanent invisibility on whoever is wearing it, but in exchange completely nullifies health regeneration and causes steady health and fatigue damage for as long as it's worn.

Arcanum: Of Steamworks & Magick Obscura (Video Game) / int_1daa7fce	comment	Backstabbing starts out as almost useless. It only works with daggers and knives, only when sneaking and attacking In the Back, and with a pretty low chance to provide any bonus at all. The bonus itself is a joke due to how little damage daggers and knives deal. However, once you reach Expert status, you're able to use swords and axes with it, too. Master adds a gargantuan critical chance, making roughtly every even attack a critical. Combined with proper sneaking, it's possible to easily perform a series of One-Hit Kills on end-game enemies, all infamous for being damage sponges.

Persephone is the name of a goddess from Classical Mythology, closely associated with the afterlife. When Kerghan explains the motives for his actions during the final confrontation, he claims to have developed a form of necromancy that allowed him to visit the land of the dead despite still being alive.

Technology can't hope to match some of the greater feats of magic, such as stopping time, a One-Hit Kill or teleportation. However, technology has a much lower skill requirement to use it effectively, such that even a neutral character can use most tech items reliably, while mages need to have their magic aptitude as high as possible to reap the full benefits of spells. This makes technology more attractive to the common man, who doesn't have to know how it works, only that it does.

Arcanum: Of Steamworks & Magick Obscura (Video Game) / int_27b6b53d	comment	No Tech but High Tech: Magick is fundamentally incompatible with technology as its application makes complex mechanisms turn haywire. Simple items like bows and swords are fine however, even though technically bowyery or metallurgy still involve a level of technology. But since they don't come with any moving parts, complex mechanisms and, gods forbid, engines or loaded springs, they are simple enough for magick to not interfere with their applications - though the advanced metallurgy involved in Smithy weapons does oppose magick. Meanwhile, the simplest mechanical clock will end up damaged by mere presence of strong magick. And then there's mail and plate armor. These are technological unless they're enchanted.

Arcanum: Of Steamworks & Magick Obscura (Video Game) / int_2a195285	comment	Revolvers Are Just Better: Averted; most of the upper-tier handguns are either rolling-block or semi-automatic, and the title of best firearm overall is tied between a steampunk rocket launcher, a bolt-action Sniper Rifle, a gigantic break-action elephant gun, a heavy machine gun and a Lightning Gun. Revolvers are by far the most common type of firearm in the game, though, and will be the main armament of any gunslinger character for the majority of the game. In early stages of the game, the Fine Revolver, the second gun a Gunsmith PC can make, is quite potent. It comes with a nice +5 to-hit bonus, good speed (and Doc Roberts can train you to make it even faster) and decent damage. In fact, it's as good as the Balanced Sword, which is considered game-breakingly powerful, while being ranged weapon. If you go directly to Tarant, the gunsmith running a shop there carries an unique Sharpshooter's Pistol - a further improvement of Fine Revolver, with +15 to-hit bonus and range exceeding most rifles. Played straight with Droch's Warbringer which has a huge revolver cylinder making it look like a Magnum Revolver with a sawed-off shotgun grip.

He found that the only way he could make money in the game's prejudice-filled society was by adopting the name "Gar, World's Smartest Orc" and performing as a freak-show attraction, hiding his family name and severing all ties with them so they would not need to bear the shame of association with him. Even though tricking him into revealing his true name and securing his freedom from his employer are both necessary steps to recruiting him as a follower, your character continues to refer to him as "Gar" for the rest of the game. The game hand-waves it, as he himself explains he still doesn't want to embarrass his family. So outside the interactions with the player's character, he maintains his entire masquerade and demands the same from the PC.

Either max out the Lockpick skill for neutral or tech characters, or learn the Unlocking Cantrip spell with 100 Magicka. Being seen by guards while picking a lock will cause them to attack, so the former option is best for stealth, since all spells raise awareness levels (because they're flashy). The latter is better for repeat business (say, if you manage to unlock a shop's inventory, or plan to squat a house for storage), since a lock unlocked by magic will never be relocked.

Arcanum: Of Steamworks & Magick Obscura (Video Game) / int_2bdae2ae	comment	Awesome, but Impractical: Being a Technologist is often seen as this. While it's actually more of a Magikarp Power due to the sheer number of points required, there's plenty of easier ways to break Arcanum before you even hit the midpoint. In order to mitigate that, you would need to buy schematics from shops and a lot technical manuals from TarantÂ´s University that will increase your technical expertise in an specific discipline, even if you have not allocated a single point on it. That will allow you to make powerful gear, but it still requires time and luck to find the schematics and a large sum of money to purchase enough manuals. The Vendigroth Device is capable of killing a mage with no possibility of resurrection... except it only works if the mage has a certain ability which few are powerful enough to master, and that they typically only use when critically injured, so you have to go to the trouble of killing them normally first. There's a grand total of three living mages which even possess the ability, two of which are no longer strong enough to do so. It was made during a time when most mages had that power, and they were currently under threat from one. The Disintegration spell deals an absurd amount of damage to a foe, but will completely obliterate their equipment. If you care about looting, you probably don't want that to happen. Jormund has access to several powerful spells from the Force and Fire schools of magic, but the penalty he takes to spellcasting due to being a Dwarf wizard means he'll often exhaust himself before the end of a fight. The game has a ton of potential backgrounds which modify your character's base stats, but most of them are terrible. All the backgrounds that provide boosts based on time or locale have areas in which they just won't work. Anything that gives you items in exchange for reducing your stats isn't worth it because they'll be rendered obsolete (and money is easy to steal). Finally, increases in beauty are pointless because all that does it modify reaction, which is only a problem if it drops so low as to render people hostile, and accomplishing that requires practically zeroing out the stat or having extreme negative modifiers (for context, one of the best backgrounds in the game comes with a hefty negative reaction modifier, and it's well worth the handicap because it's easy to mitigate). A borderline case with the Mechanized Gun. It is hands-down the best firearm in the game stats-wise. However, where most firearms use 1 or, in extreme cases 2, bullets per shot fired, the Mechanized Gun uses six. Six. Ammunition in this game is not weightless, meaning that most of your carrying capacity will be used up for ammunition.

Arcanum: Of Steamworks & Magick Obscura (Video Game) / int_30c40e9a	comment	Deconstructor Fleet: For the Steampunk genre. The game takes pains to point out the more unpleasant side of the Victorian era, including hideously unsafe factory working conditions, strikers being gunned down, classism, racism (try playing the game as an half-orc), eugenics — there's a very uncomfortable book that talks about a way of solving the Orcish Question via use of a breeding program and removal of a 'malignant gland'. Not to mention the Half-Ogre breeding project, which has some distinctly unnerving parallels with antisemitic conspiracy theories of the time. It also deconstructs the Standard Fantasy Setting. Elves really have a solid claim to being better, but that doesn't mean that they're wiser. Good men can wreck the world with the best of intentions, while someone who is pure evil may turn out to be right. Wandering adventurers raiding ruins are joked at even as the PC does just that, and glorious heroes who went around righting wrongs triggered a general war when they disagreed on what was right or wrong.

In the present day, The Hand's current leader, Gideon Laiar, will do the same to the Dark Elves of T'Sen Ang if you tell him they want to bring back their leader-in-exile Arronax. Vollinger, a Hand assassin who you can recruit as a follower, supposedly gets sickened if you take him to a vivisection laboratory/factory farm which the gnomes of Tarant used to force-breed Half-Ogres.

Arcanum: Of Steamworks & Magick Obscura (Video Game) / int_39b8d3d6	type	Boring, but Practical
Arcanum: Of Steamworks & Magick Obscura (Video Game) / int_39b8d3d6	comment	Boring, but Practical: The first spell of the Black Necromancy college, Harm, does decent damage with little Fatigue consumption. The Conveyance college has minimal use in combat, but it contains the unlocking and teleportation spells, allowing you to unlock anything and teleport to any location on the map so long as it's been marked. The former requires a maxed out magic rating to work to its full potential, but you'll probably have that if you're a spellcaster anyway. There's also the humble Balanced Sword and Featherweight Axe, a pair of simple and easily-obtainable melee weapons from the Smithy tech tree that are easy to use, extremely powerful, light, and fast, and so will usually be a technological melee fighter's primary armament for most of the game. They can later be upgraded to Envenomed, Charged or Pyrotechnic versions for extra poison, electric or fire damage, respectively, the latter of which also never takes damage from striking objects that fall under Breakable Weapons categories. All it takes is a minor investment in tech manuals for the requisite skill. Healing salves. The resources to make them are pretty plentiful, they require only a little investment in one of the tech skills (or a certain follower who can be recruited fairly early on) to make, and they restore 20hp per use, making them a solid choice of healing item for a technologist who can't benefit from Vergil's magic. They are also one of few technology items that can be freely used by magic users without any ill effects. Worn Boots. They can be easily found in trash bins in quantity. Wearing them provides any character with +3 Damage Reduction, which means 3% less damage from all sources. Until you can find, buy or steal better, it's worth the effort to dumpster dive. You can also sell them to General Merchants for a decent amount of coins. Very handy at low levels. Further reinforced with normal boots, which are a common and cheap item sold by pretty much all merchants selling clothes and also by lesser blacksmiths. They provide +5 Damage Reduction, which is more or equal to most early game armours. For inventory management, the humble keyring. You are going to collect a lot of keys over the course of the game, which weigh nothing but each takes up an inventory square. A keyring takes two squares, also weighs nothing, and holds infinite keys. All you have to do is buy it for a few coins from a thrift merchant. Once you make it to Tarant, there's a quest in the warehouse district which tasks you with clearing a warehouse of rats. The gold you get for completing it isn't anything special, but the warehouse has nine chests (or chest-like storage containers) which you can use as permanent free storage. It's placed closed to most of the stores, just over the bridge when you arrive by map, near the town gypsy for item identification, near the dock if you arrive by ship, and near the Tarant junk merchant, who for whatever reason is the best repairman in the game (most repairs reduce the item's maximum durability, but he often doesn't reduce it at all). It's the perfect hub for any adventurer. As an added bonus, one of the chests has Dwarven Ores for crafting Featherweight Axes. Fate Points have a wide range of applications. The most useful of these is the ability to infallibly steal whatever you want from whoever you want without being noticed, regardless of your actual skill. Not very flashy, but you can pickpocket some very good gear if you know where to look. Smoking Suits and Fancy Dresses have the simple effect of granting +20 reaction. Your reaction affects how much shopkeepers charge you, what quest givers are willing to pay you, and make people more willing to listen to you in general. It's invaluable for players who play as a half-orc, or those that have chosen backgrounds that have reaction penalties in exchange for bonuses (Escaped Lunatic, for example). Melee fighters. Forget using magic or technological disciplines, just put your starting points into Melee, Dodge, ST and DX. Not only it negates entirely the Early Game Hellnote You can reach Expert-level Melee skill by 2nd level or start with it with the right background, but by the middle of the game, your build will be complete, and you'll be strong enough to beat your way through almost any quest or area in the game (and in fact many guides recommend this approach for a first playthrough with an orc or half-ogre). The only problem is what you do with the rest of your level-ups. Sogg Mead Mug, the first potential follower you can meet (other than plot-mandated Virgil). Unless you start with dumped Charisma (he requires 9 to join, with default being 8), he is by far the definition of the most boring, but also the most reliable companion, being the standard template for melee fighter. On top of that, he ends up having 300 HP in the end, and, since he's a half-ogre, the large-sized armours provide additional Damage Reduction. Oh, he also makes for a great pack mule!

Machined Plate (Armor Class 25, Damage Resistance +45, Poison Resistance +20, Fire Resistance +20, Electrical Resistance -10, Noise Penalty -90, Strength +3), can only be made by investing 7 points into Smithy to craft the Elite Plate and combining it with a Minute Steam Works. Alternatively, Magnus can craft the Elite Plate and then schematics along with books can help to make the machined set. Arguably the best non-unique technological armor in the game and one of the better armours out there.

Arcanum: Of Steamworks & Magick Obscura (Video Game) / int_3f0310d6	comment	Magikarp Power: Most schools of magic work this way. The first level of a spell tree is some weak utility spell, the second is stronger and likely has some use in combat, the third is hefty, and the fifth (which requires a lot of dedicated status-requirements) is super-powerful. On top of that, spell strength is dependent on your magic rating; a truly powerful mage needs a full 100 rating, which requires putting points into several spell trees. Special mention goes to summoning spells, which summon different creatures based on your magical rating. The higher it is, the stronger the summon. Technologists as a character build are an even greater example. While they get a far worse rap than they deserve from a lot of players, there are some serious issues with using them to their full potential, most notably the extreme cost in points to fill out their disciplines (seven compared to five for mages). Playing an effective technologist requires you to finesse your abilities and items for the utmost advantage, but a proper build can lead to a character who is mighty enough to defeat Stringy Pete and his crew of the damned by themselves. Lockpicking on either side of the fence. Any lock you can pick without maxed out skill is probably a chest or door you could have beat open just as easy. Maxed out skill lets you pick storekeeper chests, for infinite money and free gear. Tech lockpicking has the benefit of being silent, letting you pick more chests without being caught compared to the noisy unlocking spell that will alert/wake up everyone nearby. Backstabbing starts out as almost useless. It only works with daggers and knives, only when sneaking and attacking In the Back, and with a pretty low chance to provide any bonus at all. The bonus itself is a joke due to how little damage daggers and knives deal. However, once you reach Expert status, you're able to use swords and axes with it, too. Master adds a gargantuan critical chance, making roughtly every even attack a critical. Combined with proper sneaking, it's possible to easily perform a series of One-Hit Kills on end-game enemies, all infamous for being damage sponges.

She tells you that she's been hoping to catch the culprit herself, but all she remembers is feeling terribly exhausted, falling asleep before the attacker arrives and waking up the next morning to find another dead rabbit.

To put that into perspective, that's more than most of the top-tier armours. Shields in general provide absurd amount of AC when compared with anything else, making it considerably harder to hit their wielders and providing a solid reason why one-handed weapons are much better in the long run. Technologists can also upgrade it into the handy Flow Disruptor, which tacks on a +30 magic defense. Screaming Shield takes it a step further. It is equally common item sold by magical smiths and aside of 30 AC, it also comes with additional +10 Damage Resistance. As in reducing all damage by 10%. And most importantly, while magical, it provides full bonus regardless if the wearer's magic amplitude is 100 or 0.

Averted with city dwarves, who eschew the old clan customs, and are more proud of their city of origin than their dwarvishness. They still don't talk about their females. Attempted invocation by Magnus, who's so ashamed to be a city dwarf, he makes every attempt to be More The Same like he imagines real dwarves should be. Even when he doesn't exactly know the customs he should be following, he'll make them up as he goes along. He gets most of the facts from a dubious book on the subject, which was written by a human. Also subverted by Preston Radcliffe, the dying "gnome" at the game's intro. He's actually a dwarf who shaved his beard to disguise himself. To the rest of his clan, this is an unthinkable disgrace only partly forgiven by the severity of the situation. The player, if a dwarf, can lampshade this by saying, "We dwarves would rather cut our throats than cut off our beards."

Except that aptitude bonus makes you a devilishly good Evil Sorcerer, particularly in tandem with being a half-elf (another +5 to aptitude, without the typical weaknesses of playing as a pure-blood elf). Since spell effects and damage scale with aptitude, and it can in fact go well past 100, you are starting with an effect similar to mastering a whole school of magic as a free bonus.

Arcanum: Of Steamworks & Magick Obscura (Video Game) / int_57d43e40	comment	Fantasy Counterpart Culture: The Unified Kingdom, which actually no longer has a monarch and is run by a cabal of gnomish capitalists, is obviously modelled on late Victorian Britain. The fantasy races are mostly Tolkienian stereotypes. Before the release of the game, the official site carried several front pages for a fictional newspaper from the gameworld. One article had an amusing account of a fantasy version of the historical controversy concerning Darwinism. The gist of it was that the Elves consider themselves the oldest race on Arcanum, and are rather irritated at recent discoveries that seem to indicate that the humans and dwarves evolved first and that elves and some other races branched off from them the due to the influence of magic. One of the in-game texts was a journal of local Archaeological Society. It turns out they are very unhappy about "heroes" raiding ancient tombs and ruined temples for magical treasures and ancient lore, without any reverence for scientific methodology. It could be a Shout-Out to Heinrich Schliemann's methods — but it's a fantasy role-playing game, and we all know what the characters in every fantasy role-playing game ever excel at.

Arcanum: Of Steamworks & Magick Obscura (Video Game) / int_5b81ca8d	comment	Disc-One Nuke: Rapier. A bog standard weapon with neutral amplitude, meaning it can be wielded by any character having even most basic melee proficiency. It deals great damage and has one of the highest speed ratings in the whole game. Despite that it costs pocket change and can be even bought in the shop before the game starts. The rapier is wickedly good and is by far one of the most powerful, yet widely accessible and common melee weapons, able to keep up with enemies up until about reaching Stillwater or so. Recruiting Magnus in Tarant or investing just two points in the Smithy Discipline will allow you to create Balanced Swords, a very fast, decent damage weapon that's a solid choice for most of the game (unless your character is a mage, or a technophobe). Since it can be reliably crafted in the first town, it makes powering through the local Beef Gate all that easier. Extending from this is the Featherweight Axe, the Balanced Sword's slightly slower but stronger big brother, which can be upgraded into the (in)famous Pyrotechnic Axe. It can be made as soon as you set foot in Tarant. Four free Dwarven Ores can be found in a warehouse infested with rats and the Oaken Axe Handles can be purchased from Junk Dealers. Fuel is dirt cheap and can be picked up from the local general store. Simply put three points into Smithing or have Magnus make Featherweight Axes when he's at a high enough level. The schematics for the Pyrotechnic Axe can be found in a locked chest under Mr. Willoughsby's trap door guarded by three mechanical arachnids, which you don't even have to fight (they're slow, so you can just lead them around the room and break the chest while they try to catch up). Alternatively, the schematics can bought from the nearby weapon shop if you're willing to roll the inventory enough. Then all you need to do is buy enough manuals from the college to inflate your tech skill to craft it. Once you do, you have yourself an Infinity -1 Sword which does not suffer weapon damage and does 30-50 fire damage a hit, which is broken in this game because the only things immune to fire damage are the things that can do fire damage themselves. Humble healing salves. You start with around 30-36 hit points. A single salve heals 20, instantly, regardless of character. It takes a single point in Herbology to make them (or recruit Jayna Styles) and just the starting location has enough ingredients to make 16 of them. They are by far the most reliable and commonly used healing items in the game and certain builds' early survival entirely depends on starting the game with the recipe. The Sword of Baltar, Lianna Del Par's blade, is a massive greatsword that does ridiculous amounts of damage (15-25 per hit). Now, it does take a high Strength to use, but even if you're not a Half-Ogre yourself, you might well have Sogg Mead Mug for a companion, and he can use it effectively, allowing him to tear down any opposition at lightning speed. It costs a fate point to steal, but who cares? One rather often-overlooked, yet quietly exceptional, weapon is Almstead's Axe, the property of Blackroot's blacksmith. In terms of damage and speed it is slightly inferior to the Featherweight Axe, but it is aptitude-neutral and has +15 to-hit. In the early game most characters struggle to hit the broad side of a barn in broad daylight, making accuracy extremely valuable. It is definitely worth the Fate Point you'd spend plucking it out of Almstead's hands. In similar fashion, one of the rewards from Doc Roberts. If you say you dabble in magic, the doctor will give you an Enchanted Sword. Not only is it the best weapon from all three options, it's not a standard Enchanted Sword either. It comes with extremely useful +2 Speed bonus. It can help immensely early on, especially if you decide to deal with the bandits guarding the bridge — if not you, then Virgil or Sogg can use it to great effect. Another easily overlooked weapon is Sharpshooter's Pistol, a revolver carried by the gunsmith working in Tarant. It is arguably the best early firearm, thanks to +15 to-hit bonus, very good speed and range on tier with sniper rifles. With a little bit of level grinding and the right background, mages can have access to 5th spell in a chosen college before the second plot-mandated dungeon. This includes the Disintegrate spell, which kills anything you can target with no saving throw allowed. Considering the second dungeon is full of very powerful things that do not drop loot anyway, this is a big help. The Looking-Glass Rifle. It packs serious punch, dealing 10-30 damage at a range that exceeds any other weapon or form of attack. In some versions, it deals a fixed damage in 40-40, which allows to knock-out most of the early and midgame enemies with just one bullet. Aside of that, it comes with nice +20 to-hit bonus and properties equal to being Master of Firearms — there are no range penalties added, regardless how far away the target is. The only thing stopping this rifle from being ultimate gun is relatively low Speed — it takes 4 AP to fire a single shot and that's after getting Apprentice training. It's perfectly possible to pick this gun and keep using it up until the very end. You don't even have the spend the points it would normally take to craft it, because the Master of Firearms in Ashbury carries a copy and will give it to you for free if you promise to not ask for Master training, which the gun renders irrelevant. While you are in Ashbury to pick up that rifle, you should first go and rescue the dog. It's by far the most powerful follower you can get in the whole game and all you have to do is save the starving animal from being beaten to death by a random gnome. In turn, once healed, you gain a murder machine that can tear apart anything on its way. In the early game, the dog is worth more than a party consisting of 3 or 4 combat-oriented followers - and only gets stronger from there. If one has a high pickpocket skill and/or is willing to spend a Fate Point, you can steal a Hand Cannon right out of Sammie White's hand as soon as your enter Tarant, giving you one of the more hard-hitting firearms early in the game without having to dump points into gun smithing for the schematic or invest in the needed Clarington Rifle and Fancy Pistol to put it together.

Arcanum: Of Steamworks & Magick Obscura (Video Game) / int_5d1eb74d	comment	Dump Stat: Beauty. It mostly only really helps to keep people from being hostile on sight and resolving a small few situations without combat. You can get by with a 2 (and even maximize your Charisma), and there are several items and blessings floating about that will bump it up about three or four points. There are some exceptions but the difference is minor and largely limited to a few minor quest rewards and merchant prices. Lampshaded in the game's manual, which tells the player that an intelligent, charismatic but ugly character will reap the full benefits of a speech-based playthrough more easily than a beautiful, but uncharismatic and stupid character. By the same token, reaction modifiers as part of character backgrounds are pointless. Fancy clothing provides a hefty reaction boost which equals any positive modifier and will practically negate any negative modifier. This makes the Escaped Lunatic background pretty useful, as the -25 penalty to reaction is cut down to a mere -5 in exchange for major resistance boosts. Perception. It has exactly five applications: using firearms, sneaking around, spotting traps, zooming out longer from where you stand and providing a small bonus to To Hit chance of ranged attacks (a single rank of a related skill will provide you with the same value as maxed-out Perception). Firearms are severely outshined by other weapon classes, Prowling is a gimmick-tier skill, there is a good chance you will never invest in Spot Traps and you can reasonably spot nearby enemies even with average Perception. For anyone, who isn't a gunslinger, the stat is completely useless. Curiously enough, bows and their skill fall under the all-powerful Dexterity, making the stat redundant for archers. To a lesser degree: spending Skill Points on Health and Fatigue boosts alone. Yes, you gain more health and fatigue for each point spent than on Strength, Constitution and Willpower, but you'll gain health/fatigue boosts on level-up. You're better off with the additional bonuses to the above mentioned stats, like better melee damage and carry weight, poison resistance and healing rate or resistance to offensive magics. However, certain followers don't actually have anything else to do with their remaining points after maxing out their core abilities and stats, leaving them with no other option. The dog is probably the best example of this and it's the reason why he's by far the best melee character in the game, even if he can't wear armour. The Only Child background makes Charisma an excellent dump stat for mages. Forget companions and forget diplomacy, because your points are going into a whole lotta magical firepower. This does lock out some Golden Ending quests, however. Best for an evil or apolitical Living One. Oddly enough, Constitution can be a dump stat for melee fighters as it doesn't affect HP but stamina.

Within that, you can do pit fights to earn favor so you can speak to the local leader. The pit fighters can only be looted inside the pit, and one of them is carrying a shockingly powerful sword. Mercifully, the game gives you a fair amount of time after each win to go looting, and the corpses stay in the pit during subsequent fights. If you skip the pit fights through persuasion or other means, you can never attempt them.

Arcanum: Of Steamworks & Magick Obscura (Video Game) / int_6bcfbc7e	comment	Fantasy Gun Control: Played With. The battle between Science and Magick is an actual rule of Nature and a major sort of world-point. Guns are considered technology, and therefore magic interferes with them. Thus, the archetypal mage cannot use a gun without it exploding in his hands. Firearms are both common and fairly effective... against unarmored humans and low-level monsters. Enchanted armor and mid-to-high-level monsters laugh at handguns, meaning that late-game technologists will be packing BFGs and lots of ammo. It's a recurring plot point as well in many of the sidequests, though it only becomes important to the main quest near the end. The backstory examines the "conscript versus knight" problem, but the game doesn't bear this out. Rifles and effective pistols are expensive, ammunition is even more so, and firearms are no easier to learn than any other weapon. Among NPCs, most guards carry swords and other archaic weapons instead of guns, which tend to be more the purview of adventurer types.

Arcanum: Of Steamworks & Magick Obscura (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8	comment	Guide Dang It!: Good luck finding out Called Shots on your own in the game. They are only mentioned in the manual and not explained nor described in-game in any way. Unless you find keyboard shortcuts for them in the net, you are out. Certain combat skills openly rely on Called Shots. You're never informed that you won't be able to return to the Isle of Despair, meaning you can accidentally lock yourself out of the best ending for Dernholm by missing a quest on the island. Recruiting the dog can be quite the hassle unless you know exactly what you're doing. Then again, it's equally possible to just stumble upon the dog by accident, since recruiting him is time-sensitive upon arrival. Unless you have resurrection spell or a resurrection scroll handy. The blessing from the All-Father: You have to make blessings at the altars in a certain order, some of which have to be repeated at least once, then find the final altar buried in Vendigroth. Oh, and if you're a technologist, you better have one of your followers carry a tech-based resurrect. The All-Father kills you in the process of blessing you, then casts Resurrect to bring you back... except a 100 tech-aligned character will block the spell, thus leaving you dead if your party can't bring you back. The game does give you a book and a vague diagram which can allow you to reasonably figure it out, and trial and error allows you to realize you messed up (other gods will curse you if you do it wrong). One particular bit on getting the All-Father blessing is ridiculously obscure. You need to give an offering to the Greater Goddess of Neutrality... But the altar is located in Gorgoth Pass, a location which is not shown on any map in the game. Even if you know the place from browsing game guides, it still won't pop in your map until you're close enough, and just getting close enough is a challenge in itself. There's a journal entry gained from tavern gossip, but that alone requires you to Talk to Everyone with no idea where to hear it. Some Fate Points require counter-intuitive behavior to trigger. For example, a Fate Point gained for aiding Magnus against the necromancer jewelers requires that you almost betray him first. Simply aiding him outright earns you nothing. Good luck finding the Aerial Decapitator, the strongest non-grenade throwing weapon, without looking up the coordinates of its location. Certain minor side quests affect the ending of the game. Some of the most obscure are: Getting hired by Jongle Dunne, the gnome magician from Shrouded Hills. At first it looks like the basic case of Playing Both Sides, but only if you do things in the very specific order, you will unlock a special, secret ending - turns out Jongle was working on the philosopher's stone and actually succeeds, even if you end up repairing the engine he hired you to destroy. There is no "fail" state for this plotline during the ending slides if you mess up, so even figuring out about its existence isn't that obvious, and it's very easy to accidentally lock yourself out of ability to finish his questline. Two affect Black Root, which is otherwise skipped entirely during the ending in normal circumstances. First, the more obvious one, is to take all the steps to convince them to rejoin Cumbria and also get Maximilian back from his exile, someone you at this point don't even know to exist, making the town prosper. The more tricky ending is to connecting an apparently random shipwreck with king's Praetor missing daughter, get Max back from his exile and not convincing Black Root to rejoin Cumbria. This will lead to an ending where king Maximilian restores Cumbria and fights a successful war against Tarant, winning with the use of the reformed Dragon Knights. The lengthy path of various side-quests and specific discussion subject with certain NCPs, along with discovery of the final fate of the legendary Iron Clan, which isn't even a quest by itself, is the only way to restore the clan and find out that Magnus' ancestors came from it. Oh, and part of it is bugged, further narrowing down the possible paths to get that ending. The Golden Ending for the whole game and Caladon in particular requires from you to do well in the diplomatic negotiations, but not perfect. As a result, the whole kingdom will prosper. A good indicator for this ending is the reward you get after the related quest: you are still qualified for the master training, but the master comments out you could still do better than that.

Arcanum: Of Steamworks & Magick Obscura (Video Game) / int_7071bfe9	comment	Humans Advance Swiftly: Unlike the dwarves and elves, humans aren't inherelty disposed to magick or technology and can master either. However, since learning the magick ways takes a lot of time and dedication, which not every human with his short lifespan can afford, many humans in Arcanum prefer to learn technology. Morever, while Dwarves are cautious in their use of technology and don't allow it to ruin their traditional way of life, the humans, because of said short lifespan, use technological wonders without any restraints for their own benefit. Even if they don't have a natural talent for technology like dwarves, it's the humans who shaped the Steampunk world of Arcanum, with all its virtues and vices. In fact, it wasn't even the dwarves who invented technology first. It was the humans of Vendigroth, the ancient city from the Age of Legends, which was destroyed by Arronax in fear that humans will use technology against Elves. The legacy of Vendigroth was completely lost and forgotten since then, but those Vendigrothian technological items that can be found and made by the PC are usually among the finest technological inventions among their class, despite being more than 2,000-years old. Subverted by the dwarves of the Iron Clan. The metallurgical science of the Iron Clan is beyond anyone else's and is a match for the mightiest enchantments of the Elven Council, and unlike modern dwarves, they did not believe in the tradition of only working with your hands. Their automata are almost as formidable as their warriors' hammers and armor, which is a plot point in one ending.

You can convince them to get off your back, but they'll simply turn on someone else instead. The Thieves Underground is a loose coalition of criminals with headquarters in the major ports. You can make some money and experience stealing certain special items in town for them.

That 'Gnome' who gave you the ring at the start of the game turns out to be a Dwarf who emaciated himself and cut his own beard to better hide his identity. Arcanum Dwarves regard their beards as the most important thing right after their own lives, which raises the question: what could be so dire that a Dwarf would willingly cut his own beard?

This isn't entirely arbitrary evilness, though it might seem to be. If you ask Min'Gorad for reasons, she tells you that the town is too close to the forest, and people making forays into the elven lands are using it to resupply. It fits with the intensely xenophobic and paranoid mentality the dark elves have. To enter the Maug Gang, you have to collect a debt from an impoverished Boil resident, or kill him if he refuses. While it's a legitimate quest in theory, the real reason is that Muggs doesn't think you'll be willing to do this kind of dirty work.

The mighty army of the kingdom of Cumbria, renowned for their skill at arms, consisted mainly of mounted knights and heavily-armored swordsmen. The poorly-trained conscript military of Tarant consisted of riflemen, artillery, and machine-gun teams. The battle is exactly as one-sided as it sounds. The Cumbrians only ever won any battles through ambushes in dense terrain, and these were few and far between. By 1885 (when the game starts), Cumbria is a decaying, run-down shadow of its former self, while Tarant is thriving.

Arcanum: Of Steamworks & Magick Obscura (Video Game) / int_7ec94d53	comment	Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: The writing in this game deserves credit considering that the completely sane Kerghan is this while also making a genuine Omnicidal Maniac. He's decided that because being alive is painful (summoned spirits suffer terribly from being forced back into life as well) and the final afterlife is perfect bliss, the logical solution is to end all life. He reasons that if living is unpleasant and death peaceful, then having to live must be a terrible crime to force upon a soul and one that must be permanently removed. Even Virgil will more or less confirm his opinion, though he isn't about to force it on others. Remarkably, if the player can explain the flaws in his philosophy - that some souls never have the opportunity or sometimes even the ability to enjoy the pleasures life can bring - he'll willingly abandon his genocidal agenda and submit to having his soul banished forever in order to claim final peace. He even shows some slight regret that he never learned how to enjoy life himself: "Perhaps some souls are born into death... they never knew how to live."

While it would seem obvious what effect bringing him back would have, there's no real dialogue or even a hint as to how to trigger this unless you have a specific follower in your party. Contrast with the half-man, half-dragon Kraka-Tur, who will explicitly threaten to do this should you release him yet won't (no doubt being a coward dissuaded him from causing trouble with you around). Tarant is really easy to mess up. Killing or just merely exposing Gilbert Bates as a fraud will ruin the economy since he is the only provider of reliable steam engines, and killing one of the Boil's crime lords, but not both, will allow the other to take over the Boil and then expand his criminal empire across Tarant. Setting off the Orc Riots also really isn't a good thing for the city. Then there is Caladon-Tarant and Tarant-Blackroot relationships, which, again, can be easily messed up, with Tarant almost always getting the short end of the stick out of those.

In the patched game, the experience meter rolls over constantly past 50, allowing followers to catch up if they were recruited at a lower level. Stats are capped at +12 of the character's starting stat, counting any modifiers from backgrounds. Blessings, potions, and equipment buffs of any kind are limited by this cap. This means a stat needs to start at at least 8 to reach the bonus at 20.

Rather than actually digging too deep, the dwarves simply abandoned the corridors after digging out all the ore and the monsters nested in, eventually growing both in size and numbers to the point where the tunnels had to be sealed and guarded, because it's too late for cleaning. The maze of corridors is one of the toughest crawls in the entire game and the monsters can put a serious fight even without the end boss getting involved. Should the party come unprepared, it can easily escalate to Total Party Kill.

Meanwhile, magic items simply don't work for a technologist; a magic sword in a techie's hands is just a plain sword.

Since Nasrudin was a force of order and righter of wrongs in his time, and you can become one too, it could be argued that you revived that spirit alright.

Arcanum: Of Steamworks & Magick Obscura (Video Game) / int_90c018ac	comment	One of the best justifications on record; Magick alters physics to do stuff, Technology uses physics to do stuff. Machinery operating around people using spells are performing nonsense actions — powerful spells will break weaker machines just by being used in the vicinity. Likewise, spells used around machinery are basically inserted into said machinery — powerful machines will cause weaker spells to fail just by operating in their vicinity. As a gameplay mechanic, this means any bonuses granted by items of the opposing discipline will be reduced or completely nullified, and in the case of usable items (weapons, healing items, etc) will be more likely to critically fail, up to a guaranteed fail if either discipline is maxed out.

Arcanum: Of Steamworks & Magick Obscura (Video Game) / int_940a5958	comment	Artificial Stupidity: AI characters tend to pick up anything on the ground that looks appealing — even if that object is a several-ton boulder that will almost crush them under the weight. You can use the AI's proactive behavior against it by dropping a piece of equipment that's been cursed and waiting for them to equip it, which will make them easier to kill or even kill them for you. AI characters are programmed to switch to better gear in their inventory, but don't always make such determinations logically. This is especially true of armor, as characters may ignore a higher Armor Class for other statistics. A common tactic for neutralizing the first Beef Gate is to find and drop Railroad Spikes in front of the ogres, who will pick them up and equip, as they are unarmed, thus nullifying their massive unarmed attack for 1-2 damage the Spikes deal. There is a guard captain in Dernholm whose patrol route occasionally takes him right through a campfire. Left to his own devices, he'll walk through that fire until his plate mail melts right off his back.

Arcanum: Of Steamworks & Magick Obscura (Video Game) / int_950bbfa7	comment	Take a Third Option: Most of the quests in this game have a third option that can be taken in lieu of the "correct" one. Quests only ever give you an objective, they never say it has to be completed a certain way. That said, quest-givers do occasionally reward you better if you do it according to their instructions. For example, one quests tasks you with retrieving a gem from a shrine, only to be told that making any noise (i.e. failing to Sneak) will summon a bunch of monsters to kill you. There's nothing to stop you from just walking up, murdering the hell out of the monsters when they appear (it's not even that hard if your character or party has decent combat skills), then taking the gem at your leisure. In the Boil, you have the option of joining one of two gangs to defeat the other. To get the good ending for that section, you have to wipe out both gangs. This is actually a quest in itself, but you could be forgiven for never actually receiving that quest since it's a bit difficult to find. How you deal with Kerghan can boil to this. The most obvious outcomes are to fight or join him. The third and most difficult outcome is to talk him out of it.

Arcanum: Of Steamworks & Magick Obscura (Video Game) / int_953045d9	comment	Stamina Burn: Bludgeoning weapons such as staves, hammers, and maces often do poor health damage but lots of fatigue damage, allowing you to damage an opponent's stamina and knock them unconscious before killing them. Since magick is Cast from Stamina, this also makes them useful anti-mage weapons - at least in theory, since there is but a tiny handful of casters you will fight in the whole game.

One notable aversion that takes place before the plot begins is the Banishment of Kerghan to the Void. Banishment was viewed to be a Fate Worse than Death, and everyone who earned it was dragged kicking and screaming. Kerghan meekly goes to his fate. Of course, this is something of a Batman Gambit, as he was counting on continuing his research in the timeless Void.

Arcanum: Of Steamworks & Magick Obscura (Video Game) / int_973d220f	comment	Never My Fault: Kraka-Tur murdered the last dragon in Arcanum and used its blood to become a monster so he could get revenge on his enemies and terrorize people. Yet when the Elven Council came for him, he played the victim; his diary even claims the line "I've done nothing wrong!" Percival Toone basically stole his family's mine by badgering his mother into giving it to him (she wanted it to go to his sister instead), then sold it for a cheap penny to some questionable businessmen. His mother committed suicide over this and began haunting the mine, which caused it to stop producing ore. The new owners naturally blame him for this, and want either their money back, or his blood. At absolutely no point does Percival admit blame; it's his mother's fault, or his sister's, or the businessmen's. If you return ownership of the mine to him, he'll immediately make plans to sell it again. Averted with Arronax. While he's upset that his father didn't stop him from destroying Vendigroth while he had the chance, he doesn't deny responsibility for the atrocity.

Arcanum: Of Steamworks & Magick Obscura (Video Game) / int_9a08517a	comment	Elves Versus Dwarves: Played with. Elves and dwarves have traditionally gotten along fairly well — the recent industrial revolution has, in fact, caused both civilizations to dislike humans far more than each other, though elves are still a bit bitter about the dwarves letting Gilbert Bates get his hands on the steam engine. However, a faction of racial supremacist elves manipulates the dwarven king by threatening war between elves and dwarves unless he banishes one of his own clans as punishment for elevating humans. Years later, the king realizes that it was not, in fact, the elves' doing. King Thunderstone points out that the two races don't get along (but are civil about it) because their moral and ethical philosophies differ too much for them to understand each other properly. Ironically, if you consider the philosophies, they are actually very similar. The elves do not take it well if a dwarf PC visits Qintarra. Anyone's allowed to visit, but some are more allowed than others, and dwarves are not on the wanted list.

Arcanum: Of Steamworks & Magick Obscura (Video Game) / int_9d12bbc1	comment	Foreshadowing: A quest you can take when you first arrive in Tarant involves the stolen Fictional Painting "Kerghan and Persephone". Persephone is the name of a goddess from Classical Mythology, closely associated with the afterlife. When Kerghan explains the motives for his actions during the final confrontation, he claims to have developed a form of necromancy that allowed him to visit the land of the dead despite still being alive. A half-ogre you meet in an early-to-mid-game area tells you that he grew up in an orphanage where all of the children were half-ogres, and he finds it strange since the typical circumstances of a half-ogre's birth (a male ogre forcing himself on a human woman, who survives the rape, pregnancy and birth of the child) means that half-ogres ought to be very uncommon in Arcanum. Much later in the game, you can complete a quest in which you discover a conspiracy by the gnomish elite to breed half-ogres through a eugenics programme.

A small annoyance in the execution of this, however, is that doing so will cause a What the Hell, Hero? moment from any good party members who see you kill him, since the wizard is treated as a "good" character by the game's alignment system and the extenuating circumstances of why you're killing him aren't accounted for.

Arcanum: Of Steamworks & Magick Obscura (Video Game) / int_a6088e51	comment	Generational Magic Decline: "The History and Nature of Magick" book in Tulla reveals that in the ancient times there were 8 levels of spells, not 5, with spells like Mass Ressurection and Eternal Flame being among the strongest, but the magick grew weaker since then and the most amazing spells became unavailable for mages. This explains the existence of powerful spells which were used by ancient mages in the past (or even present) but are inaccessible to the player (such as banishment to the Void).

Arcanum: Of Steamworks & Magick Obscura (Video Game) / int_af8974a3	comment	Breakable Weapons: All weapons and armors in the game have a durability value. While they don't degrade from use alone, certain uses or attacks can damage them. Broken objects must be repaired to be used again. Repaired objects usually lose a small amount of durability, regardless of whether or not they were broken at the time. However, there are some exceptions to these rules. Armors suffer damage when attacked, in proportion to the weapon and type of damage being dealt (usually by fire-aligned enemies). Weapons suffer damage when attacking sufficiently hard or hot objects (usually golems), or when you critically miss while using them. If an item runs out of durability, it is considered broken and is automatically unequipped (or dropped, if your inventory is full). Axes do not suffer weapon damage when attacking wooden doors or chests. They will, however, suffer damage from rock, metal, and fire. The same is true of gauntlets. Ranged weapons never suffer contact damage against objects, which sounds perfectly sensible until you realize that the same applies to throwing weapons like boomerangs. Certain powerful melee weapons never suffer contact damage, even against things their lesser counterparts would. The pyrotechnic axe and arcane weapon variants, for example, can smash anything.

Crates, chests and such can hold a much larger number of items, and have no weight penalty, but still have a space limit. You can fudge this a bit by using your hotkey slots to carry items (useful for big ones like clockwork robots), but it still counts against your weight limit.

They put them to great use during their war with the kingdom of Cumbria (a conservative nation that values chivalry and "traditional" forms of combat), and at the start of the game the Unified Kingdom's capital Tarant is an industrial powerhouse and the financial and political hub of the continent while Cumbria is a dying shadow of its former self.

Arcanum: Of Steamworks & Magick Obscura (Video Game) / int_b6b58f	comment	Sacrificed Basic Skill for Awesome Training: The "Teacher" background makes the character much more focused on his friends, but at the same time unable to maintain so many relationships. In gameplay terms, this means the player's maximum companion count is reduced by one (out of maxiumum of 6), and in exchange you gain the ability to automatically grant a training bonus one rank lower than your own to all followers who qualify (Expert Melee grants automatic Apprentice Melee to all followers, for example, as long as they have one point in it). Since not all characters gain skill qualification automatically, this can be a major game-changing ability with certain party compositions. Just the sole Apprentice qualification adding +5 speed to related weapons makes followers much more deadly than normal.

Arcanum: Of Steamworks & Magick Obscura (Video Game) / int_b7059ab0	comment	One of the in-game texts was a journal of local Archaeological Society. It turns out they are very unhappy about "heroes" raiding ancient tombs and ruined temples for magical treasures and ancient lore, without any reverence for scientific methodology. It could be a Shout-Out to Heinrich Schliemann's methods — but it's a fantasy role-playing game, and we all know what the characters in every fantasy role-playing game ever excel at.

Arcanum: Of Steamworks & Magick Obscura (Video Game) / int_b798d379	comment	One Stat to Rule Them All: Dexterity, and even moreso, weapons' Speed, in both combat options. In Arcanum, number of hits simply outweighs raw damage by a huge amount. This is also the chief reason why melee characters can easily outperform gunslingers. Melee skill is Dexterity-based, so in the process of increasing it, you gain extra Speed and Action Points. Firearms are Perception-based, providing no bonus at all. For Mages, it's Willpower. It is the prerequisite stat to learn the more advanced spells, and it also increases your Mana Meter. You won't need to care about other combat stats when you can summon Elementals to tank your enemies while you blast them to oblivion from afar.

Arcanum: Of Steamworks & Magick Obscura (Video Game) / int_ba59ac1f	comment	Technophobia: Because Magick and Technology are seen to be mutually exclusive and cannot be safely mixed without interfering with one another, mages generally embrace a technophobic mindset and see technology as a threat to the "established order" (although many of the Tulla mages think of it as a passing fad). Technologists, on the other hand, see magic as a relic of ancient times and a barrier to progress. Custom characters can be given the "Technophobia" trait during character creation. Being raised in a backwater potato farm means that they have never encountered technology before, and are too afraid of technological items to risk touching them or picking them up.

Arcanum: Of Steamworks & Magick Obscura (Video Game) / int_c2d5b652	comment	Playing Both Sides: You can pick up competing quests which usually require betraying one party. However, if you're clever, you can manage both outcomes and get double credit. Just keep in mind that not all quests work this way and often trying to pull this trope ends with a catastrophic failure instead, so thread carefully. The first quest you will probably find is a bandit asking you to kill a priest to lift a curse. The priest in turn will ask you to get back what the bandit stole. If you do the former first, not only will you fail the latter, you'll be cursed for your trouble. If you do the latter and then the former, you get the blessing from the priest and experience from both quests without any pesky curse. There's a wizard in Shrouded Hills who wants you to sabotage the town's steam engine along with some other quests, and the mayor in turn will ask you to repair it. Just be sure to finish the former's quests (there is a Fetch Quest he gives after destroying the engine) first, because he'll take issue with you after the engine is fixed. The only way to achieve master training in both melee and dodge is to use the mutual hatred of the two masters against each other, while siding with the damsel they both love. When working for the Boil's crime families, you can play both of them against each other, Man With No Name style. There is also law involved, and you can play it three sides. Even if you eventually have to join one of the gangs for good to progress their quests, you can still actually be with the police, having an option to wipe out both. Just make sure to collect the reward before blowing your temporary boss. Unrelated with quests, but if your party has both Raven and Z'an Al'urin, you will have to play along both of them to keep them from clawing each other's eyes out.

More of a "Final Mook Preview," but one quest in Blackroot involves shutting down a portal to the Void, the game's final dungeon. During it, you fight monsters normally not seen till the final dungeon. When you kill them, more spawn, changing to different monsters after you've dealt with enough of one type. Though they run out eventually, leveling here is pretty quick, enough to get you near the top in one go.

The Dragon Knights were a proud warrior caste who were raised from the birth in the ways of the martial honor, while the Tarantian Army was mostly made up of green recruits. Despite being at a disadvantage in melee fights, Tarant managed to bring a shattering defeat upon Cumbria through its ability to arm its regular soldiers with firearms and thus put an end to the Dragon Knights as a whole.

He was sent to find a water crystal but now they won't let him back in because he's been contaminated by the outside world. And his name is Albert, which is also the name of the one of the pre-made player characters of Fallout. The entirety of Vendigroth Wastes - a huge desert littered by ruins of an ancient, technologically advanced civilization that vanished due to an unknown cataclysm. There's also a two-headed cow in Parnell's museum of curiosities. Lampshaded when your character claims to have seen one somewhere else. Virgil's name references The Divine Comedy, where the Roman poet Virgil accompanies Dante on his journey. Similarly, Virgil is your first companion and can join you at the very beginning of the game. Arronax's name is very similar to Professor Aronnax, from a certain piece of Victorian science fiction. The weapon you retrieve for Throwing mastery is the Glaive in all but name. The very secret Easter Egg "Aerial Decapitator", taken directly from Master of the Flying Guillotine. Evil Virgil tells Joachim "Your powers are weak, old man." A sidequest involves the player in an investigation around prostitutes murdered and disemboweled in a district called "Whythechurch". An obvious shout-out to Jack the Ripper, the "murderer of Whitechapel". Settlers of Catan. The artwork for Looking Glass Rifle from the schematics is a sketch of the rifle used by Doc Brown. The in-game book The Orcish Question Volume 2 includes the line "We can rebuild them! We have the Technology!" If you can recruit the demon Gorgoth as an ally, he will sometimes scream "GET IN MY BELLY!" during fights. The god of dwarves, whose attributes are forging and stonecutting is called Alberich. One of the corpses found at the Zephyr crash site is carrying a camera and has the surname Zapruder, shared with Abraham Zapruder who took one of the most famous videos of JFK's assassination. The manual mentions Sawney Bean, a degenerate human who became chieftain of an orc tribe and became an infamous cannibal. He shares his name with a cannibal from Scottish folklore. The halfling thief Tollo Underhill is a shout-out to ''Lord of the Rings; "Underhill" was the name Frodo used while attempting to travel through Bree incognito. In addition, there is another halfling named Frondo in Jyreihad's party. Another member of Jyreihad's party is a half-elf named Morrawynd.

Arcanum: Of Steamworks & Magick Obscura (Video Game) / int_cf7bd78d	comment	Unlike the dwarves and elves, humans aren't inherelty disposed to magick or technology and can master either. However, since learning the magick ways takes a lot of time and dedication, which not every human with his short lifespan can afford, many humans in Arcanum prefer to learn technology. Morever, while Dwarves are cautious in their use of technology and don't allow it to ruin their traditional way of life, the humans, because of said short lifespan, use technological wonders without any restraints for their own benefit. Even if they don't have a natural talent for technology like dwarves, it's the humans who shaped the Steampunk world of Arcanum, with all its virtues and vices.

One dwarf, discussing the environmental damage caused by human logging, notes that he's spent human lifetimes contemplating what sort of stone to use for a sculpture, compared to the kind of world-changing decisions a human can make in a few cycles of the moon. The chapter of the manual discussing elves also notes that, while humans and elves sometimes form romantic bonds that result in half-elf children, an elf woman who looks no older than 17 to a human has probably seen 5 generations of humans turn to dust in her lifetime, so it's little wonder elves get tired of human interaction in their old age.

Their prophecies, on the other hand, need some work. You are not the Chosen One and reincarnation of Nasrudin, as Virgil believes. It's really hard to reincarnate when you are still alive. Played straight and deconstructed with the pantheon of old gods. They're all real, and their powers are easily demonstrated, but in a world where magic is mundane and sometimes a nuisance most people have lost interest. Halcyon and Gestianna's followers amount to village cults, and the latter has an annual orgy as a main selling point.

This isn't merely limited to whether your character is mentally handicapped or talking to the NPC's ghost, but also includes invisible, transformed, shrunken, and whether they're dressed as a barbarian or completely naked. They also have numerous interactions with other voiced NPCs, including other companions. If you killed William Radcliffe (his impersonator), another assassin will greet you at the bridge, who'll be human and will have different gear. Even when you decide to follow the evil path and take the quest to get the Vendigroth Device from K'an Hua, you can still sail to Thanatos and take the same quest from Nasrudin. If you do this and go to the Ring of Brodgar with the device, you will find that Nasrudin killed K'an Hua before you came. Your reputation does precede you and some quests will reference unrelated ones you've completed prior. For example, Willoughsby will ask you to negotiate with Caladon, citing your success regarding Ashbury's statue for your competence.

Stennar Rock-Cutter refers to the elderly Gilbert Bates as "the boy" because although time passes at the same rate as in Arcanum, no one ages and their mental state doesn't degrade. All the banished entities behave as they did 2000 years past, though Arronax and Kerghan managed to learn introspection in that time. If the PC tells Arronax they killed his father, he admits that he sometimes forgets how much time must have passed since his banishment.]]

Arcanum: Of Steamworks & Magick Obscura (Video Game) / int_d91d0365	comment	The Magic Goes Away: It's implied that, because of the Magic Versus Science rules discussed below, Arcanum goes through cycles of a period of high technology, a period when magic and technology coexist in uneasy balance, a period of high magic, another period of coexistence, and so on. Bates' manufacture and marketing of steam engines to the humans is causing a new age of technology to begin and magic to wane. Certain in-game books and conversations imply that magic was once stronger than it is now, and some of the relics from Vendigroth and The Iron Clan hint at what technology might achieve in the future. Although the Vendigrothian relics suggests that it is quite possible for the periods of uneasy coexistence to have both magic and technology be what the 'present day' of the game would consider high. The game manual mentions an unexplained event some 900,000 years ago that caused the magickal energies of the world to suddenly skyrocket. Scholars call this time period in Arcanum's history the Epoch of High Enchantment. It is in this highly magickal time that the Elves and Giants evolved from humans, and many of the more fantastic creatures, that have since become extinct, came into existance by either transforming or merging together creatures that existed at the time. It is implied that ever since then magick has been slowly draining from the world.

The more tricky ending is to connecting an apparently random shipwreck with king's Praetor missing daughter, get Max back from his exile and not convincing Black Root to rejoin Cumbria. This will lead to an ending where king Maximilian restores Cumbria and fights a successful war against Tarant, winning with the use of the reformed Dragon Knights.

Nasrudin was an ancient elf of the Age of Legends who is now worshipped as a god by the Panarii religion. He's not really happy about this. His son Arronax is seen as the God of Evil, but is worshipped by the Dark Elves. He hasn't been doing much of anything in the past two millenia. Kerghan has been impersonating him. A strong implication, reinforced by a couple of possible endings, is that being a God is simply a matter of being a powerful being worshipped by weaker beings. Compared to the people of the modern age, the Elven Council and Kerghan the Necromancer are ancient beings of unimaginable power; calling them "gods" and worshipping them isn't really that far from the truth.

Guns are considered technology, and therefore magic interferes with them. Thus, the archetypal mage cannot use a gun without it exploding in his hands. Firearms are both common and fairly effective... against unarmored humans and low-level monsters. Enchanted armor and mid-to-high-level monsters laugh at handguns, meaning that late-game technologists will be packing BFGs and lots of ammo. It's a recurring plot point as well in many of the sidequests, though it only becomes important to the main quest near the end.

Arcanum: Of Steamworks & Magick Obscura (Video Game) / int_ea480f92	comment	Simple, yet Awesome: Being a Technologist in a High Fantasy setting may be awesome, but the fact remains that being a Mage is simpler and just as, if not more effective.details Being a Technologist requires you to hunt down components for whatever discipline you've chosen, usually spread across two or three shops if not requiring you to visit several different locations. You will probably need to spend money on manuals to inflate your skill in the disciplines you haven't chosen to make the good equipment. You'll also have more items that will need repairing/replacing. Meanwhile, being a Mage requires you to invest in Willpower (which raises your Mana anyway) and it only costs 5 points to master a School. The spells start from simple but useful (Harm is spammable damage spell, you can always heal yourself with White Necromancy School), but the final spells are downright gamebreaking (Quench Life is a One-Hit Kill to living things, but there's always Disintegrate against nonliving ones if you don't care about loot. Tempus Fugit will see your enemies dead before they even get a move, and travel in style with Teleport). Once you've grabbed the essential spells, you can either master other Schools and become The Archmage, or invest in physical stats to turn you into a Lightning Bruiser Magic Knight. And all you need to bring will be potions to replenish your Mana.

Arcanum: Of Steamworks & Magick Obscura (Video Game) / int_efd11fe3	comment	A Dog Named "Dog": Quite literally with the dog. It has no proper name and the game refers to it either as a dog or as "worthless mutt". There is an unique, game-breakingly powerful sword to be found in Isle of Despair, that is simply called "Sword". It looks, weighs and has a shop price similar to a generic, standard quality one-handed sword. Its stats are anything but generic, however; it's the fourth best sword in the entire game, surpassed only by two-handed ancient artifacts that come to play in the final act.

Arcanum: Of Steamworks & Magick Obscura (Video Game) / int_f68664dc	comment	Science Is Bad: The most technologically-adept race of all, the dwarves, are in fact extremely conservative in their employment of technology, and their beliefs hew fairly closely to this trope. One of their axioms is that "any work not done with one's own hands is no such thing," which is why they didn't use the steam engine one of them had invented. Later, King Loghaire explains that when faced with a new technology, the first thing that a human asks is "what can I use this for?" when it should be "what is the cost of its use?" Several of the problems Arcanum is faced with, such as the pollution of Tarant and the destruction of the Morbihan Forest, can be traced back to technology getting into human hands and running amok. The game doesn't treat technology as purely evil, but it's certainly dangerous and easy to misuse. Elves, being innately magickal, tend to hold this view.

Arcanum: Of Steamworks & Magick Obscura (Video Game) / int_f87c42d4	comment	Video Game Cruelty Potential: Use Charm Beast to befriend a wild animal, like a wolf or bear. Walk to the nearest town. Have your animal friend enter an occupied house while you wait outside. Magelock the door shut. Then dispel Charm Beast. (You might want to magically seal the windows, too — you don't want anyone to escape the wrath of Mr. Disoriented Grizzly.) Is also an effective means to assassinate someone without the guards finding out it was you (whereas if a cop NPC walks into a room and you're standing over a bloody corpse with a sword in your hand, they'll usually put two and two together and attack you). There's also the fact that there exists only 1 NPC in the game who can't be killed (The Silver Lady). Every major character can be murdered, then have their ghost summoned and interrogated. A true villain may kill the dwarf leader of the Isle of Despair, then raise his spirit just to tell him that you're going to travel to his home clan and kill everyone - oh, and that you'll drag the corpses into the daylight just to add insult to injury (sadly, you can't actually drag the corpses outside). There's almost no limit to how much cruelty you can inflict upon the populace of Arcanum.

Arcanum: Of Steamworks & Magick Obscura (Video Game) / int_fcd993bd	comment	Video Game Cruelty Punishment: While most things in this game can just be killed to deal with them, there are two instances where the game will punish you severely for trying. The first instance is a quest Raven sends you on. The area in question is cursed so that if you or your party harms anything there, you all die automatically. The trick is to get your targets to do this to you. The second is dealing with Stringy Pete. You have to do three quests to get his boat. You might wonder why you can't just kill him instead. After all, he's just one high-level skeleton. He is just one high-level skeleton... armed with the best magical armor available, and summons six similarly high-level skeletons to back him up. While it is technically possible to win, it's very unlikely unless you bring a huge group and prepare for it. Too bad one of his quests is impossible to complete if you pick up the Torin stone before speaking to him and the priests. Or if you lose the stone. Then killing him is the only way to get to his ship. Killing the fat perverted Mr. Franklin who hires a female PC to sleep with him (while he is fast asleep from the sex) will result in the quest-giver attacking when going to pick up the payment. Can be averted by killing him after payment is received. The fortune teller sidequest. To elaborate, Tarant has two fortune tellers, Madame Toussaud and a fraud in upper Tarant. Once you speak to the fraud, she'll ask you to steal Toussaud's crystal ball. Upon arrival, Toussaud will know why you've come and demand you choose a side. If you choose her side, you get the ball with no conflict and give it to the fraud, who dies upon touching it. You get a decent blessing (stat boost) for the trouble. Side against Toussaud, though, and you get hit with an equal curse (stat reduction), while the fraud rewards you with nothing worthwhile. No sane person ever sides with the fraud.

Arronax single-handedly destroyed the largest and greatest technological city of the Age of Legends. In-game, he can't even use Disintegrate (which he actually does use in a cutscene). It mostly amounts to a game engine limitation. Since all characters run on the same type of build (that is to say, they function as you do), it's impossible for him to be as powerful as advertised. Still not a sufficient excuse, though, because there are other characters in the game who are legitimately more powerful than he is, so someone overlooked something with him.
