This is one of Timothy Cain's works! On par with Fallout 1, this game is an incredible RPG. Caution: you need to have an acquired taste for old-school RPGs since it's definitely a dated game (2001). But the vibes, the story, the game mechanics... 10/10

Don't bring a knife to a gun fight.

One of the best RPG's of it's early isometric era, Arcanum feels like it's often overlooked during a time when online gaming was starting to take over, and the major focus was on console modernization.
For it's time, Arcanum had a lot to offer.

Pro's
-Well written dialogue accompanied by stellar voice acting.
-Fulfilling map travel stuffed with secrets and lore.
-Excellent soundtrack, to this day it still gives me a heavy dose of nostalgia
-Solid Character build diversity directly effecting NPC dialogue and, to a lesser extent, questing and storyline.
-Gritty, dark, steampunk and magic landscapes that only the early 2000's managed to pull off with it's art models.
-Replayability. Each different character style opens up different interactions, solutions, and rewards.

Con's
-Dated content, a 200 hour single player campaign, this is not.
-Early 2000's graphics, no remaster here.
-Glitches, there will be. Some of which are exploitive. This can benefit you, if you're into that kind of thing.
-Compatibility issues, some assembly may be required.

If you don't mind the feel of the early 2000's vibe this is sure to give you, I put this up there neatly beside Baldurs Gate, and Fallout 1-2.
