Played the game in 2005 as the developers intended, meaning
>wreck the economy with healing salve
>harm harm harm until it dies
It was kinda fun but I don't recommend it.
The only way to have fun with A is to mod the shit out of the mechanics.

>>4047494
Raven, and it's not even remotely interesting, so you may as well quit now if that's all you care about.

>>4047494
nobody if you're not a normgroid retard who plays humans or elves

Both are cool.

>technomage
The game designers have utterly fucked up this concept with tech skills lowering the "magic affinity" or whatever it was called.
This decision was idiotic for several reasons, the rationalization of it in the game didn't make any sense.
I'm willing to believe it's a legacy of the rushed development and many abandoned ideas.

>>4047751
nta, but i thought it made sense. magic doesnt work well with machinery. how its balanced doesnt really need to make sense, imo. its basically just yin/yang, and leveling tech skills is just one way of representing that idea.

>>4047751
It's not binary and that's on purpose.
A small amount of magic doesn't fuck up delicate machinery and vice-versa. It's even described with examples in the manual.

>>4047761
>>4047851
The problem is that they made it exactly a binary ying / yang. This is why I call this system fucked up.
>Strong magic breaks any sophisticated technology
OK, logical.
>Technology is basically anti- magic, your spell won't work near a working engine
Lol what the fuck.
It could be salvaged with lots and lots of in- game writing to provide a fluff resembling the World of Darkness magic paradox, but there was no such thing, quite the opposite.

>>4047858
>Technology is basically anti- magic, your spell won't work near a working engine
This doesn't happen, at best your spells weaken slightly because you're near a lot of tech.
What you're thinking is that your logic-driven tech user struggles to cast spells because magic is bullshit and it shouldn't work. For the same reason he is also more protected against hostile (and friendly) magic.
You can play around with the aptitude because, again, it's not a binary lever. Use stuff like Nature Mage and you can play a tech+magic character without issues.

this is a racist game for racists

>>4047979
Racism is cringe when you can have specieism and treat orcs like niggers

>>4048021
>he fell for the “we’re all one species” propaganda

>>4047649
it kind of is, dialogue wise. after you fuck her, you could go to different cities and you'll get new dialogue
for example, going to caladon, she talks about wanting to return there after defeating big bad (with implication of more sex)

The soundtrack

kill gnomes

>>4048406
Gnomes did some fucked up genetic experiements, but they objectively do a pretty good job ruling the Unified Kingdom. Arcanum also has:
>a human is only a few years away from ending of the world
>dark elves murder anyone who knows about them, corrupted Panarii religion and plan to summon a mage Hitler to rule the world
>dwarves folded under dark elves and voided their entire clan because humans learned how to make a steam engine
Half-orcs are niggers and halflings are thieves, but they didn't do anything that bad. And half-ogres are suprisingly chill and reliable for big dumb brutes, can't even shit on gnomes there.

>>4047649
Raven only talks about the human guy she fucked like 150 years ago. She's still obsessed with him

>>4047494
I don't like Miss Big Head there in the back on that box art.

>>4048767
half ogres are literally the chillest dudes ever, makes me hate gnomes even more

>>4047494
There's no romance, you can have sex though.
I heard you can have more sex as a woman but I never tried.
>>4047858
It's not a fuckup when it's intended.
>>4047635
I highly recommend a mod that disables exp for hit and gives full exp for killing enemies, so you can play any build you like with any group you like without losing exp, like dark necromancer (summoner). I always play some kind of mod pack (used to play GrandFix, now I play Multiverse, which is essentially the continuation of it, yes its made by russians but there is English text option) and I don't feel like any of them affect mechanics negatively. It's basically bug fixes and reimplementations of cut content most of the time, with occasional inclusion of op shit which you can ignore (and it's not like there wasn't op shit easily accessible in the vanilla game)
>>4048767
>dark elves murder anyone who knows about them, corrupted Panarii religion and plan to summon a mage Hitler to rule the world
Hey, they do what they gotta do to safe the forest
>>4051389
We all here hate gnomes but if not for them these half ogres would never have access to education, which is the main reason why they become chill

At the risk of sounding like a gnome apologist, and practically speaking, that's a match made in heaven for them and arguably worth the risk of your reputation in a "modern fantasy setting". Thankfully gnomes don't really show any outward intention of trying to conquer the world with their army of half ogre super soldiers, but they are far from that point and that's a problem for another time.

>half ogres would never have access to education, which is the main reason why they become chill
Have you learned nothing?

>>4051659
>Thankfully gnomes don't really show any outward intention of trying to conquer the world
You mean how they didn't murder Tarant's royal family and usurp power, and didn't go to war with Dernholme and conquer a port town of Black Root, and didn't try to annex Caladon?

>>4051708
Did they? Shit I don't remember.

>>4051708
>and didn't try to annex Caladon?
They have actual diplomatic negotiations there, and protect the king of Caladon if you let the head gnome learn about the conspiracy to kill him.

>>4051708
One question about this... Who is their meddling actually for? Gnomes are cosmopolitan, don't have a homeland or central authority, they integrate everywhere. Maybe there is some shadowy gnome group that is trying to influence politics in some way, but you could argue its not really a gnome conspiracy, unless they are somehow all in contact with each other and have it planned. The average gnome is probably just like that one pervert in Tarant. They make money, they buy a half ogre bodyguard, then they fuck a lot of sloots.

>>4052582
Go read Kevin MacDonald’s “A People Who Shall Dwell Alone” and “Separation And Its Discontents”, and all shall be revealed.

>>4052620
Ok yes i know its a meme that gnomes represent jews, and while that may be the case in the real world, unless there is something in the game that you cant read, you cant just say they're doing the same thing.

>>4048767
sounds like a gnome talk, [[[anon]]]

Where is this no romance coming from?
You can romance Raven

Remember lads - the only good gnome is a dead gnome.

which mods should i use for this game?

>>4063660
https://terra-arcanum.com/drog/uap.html

>>4063660
not sure if included in uap, but there's a mod to only play the buff spells sfx once (so it doesn't go in a loop which is annoying)

>>4063660
