Message: [QUOTE="Sinmenon, post: 201810, member: 3614"] I just realized that we never asked if you got a system preference. Ops? Some PC ones (and coincidentally, both starting with A) [B]Arcanum Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura[/B] is a CRPG a la Baldur's Gate 1 and 2, but it is...well, a steampunk setting. Someone blew up the airship you were in and a dying gnome asks you to take a ring to a place and contact someone to prevent some evil force, and it has some nice plot twists. Oh, and it is also from the people who made Fallout 1 and 2. The thing about this system is that you need to do a balancing act: you see, in this world, magic and technology are very opposed. If you level up your magic, anything technology like guns or even trains will fail around you. If you level up your technology, you'll have trouble dealing with magic. So while it is a somewhat traditional CRPG, you need to take into consideration how you are going to tackle your build. [B]Arx Fatalis[/B] I mentioned it in a thread about [URL='https://retrogametalk.com/threads/games-like-oblivion-for-a-potato-laptop.9341/#post-199238']Oblivion-like games[/URL], but the tl;dr is that the entire game takes place underground because the world's surface is inhospitable. The melee combat is what you'd expect, but the magic system? You learn runes (and you better write them down), and you actually do the gestures with your mouse. [/QUOTE]
