Problem for me was that since the world was huge and interesting, I wanted to search eeeeverythiing. But the level cap was 50 and I hit that 1/3 into the game. FO2 best game I've ever played on PC, even with all the bugs. Nothing comes even close. Man they made good games back then.. | ||

Unfortunately wasted on a game with encounter design ranging from mediocre to complete shit. That said, if you get your RPG kicks from good combat, it can be worth a playthrough for a few good fights. It's also pretty buggy, with A LOT of save corruption bugs, but the Circle of Eight patch, which is pretty much mandatory anyway, fixes a lot of them. | ||

It's awesome but it was kind of buggy/unfinished when it was released and I don't think that's really changed. If you liked the Icewind Dale series you should love it, it's really fantastic in that regard | ||

 I'll have a look at The Temple of Elemental Evil which could best suit what my tastes of maybe reinstall IWD2 that I played for like 3 hours before giving up (don't remember why though, I think I tried to play an evil party as I usually do and ended up having to help people which pissed me off ). | ||

But then again, neither is PS:T, and it's not like Fallout combat was that stellar either. The about Arcanum for me is that it felt like an extension of what Tim Cain and the other Interplay guys (who moved to Troika) really made of the genre. It showed how they really *got* the CRPG, and how it could be used as a medium for "storymaking" rather than "storytelling"--taking advantage of the interactivity of the computer medium compared to literature or film. In FO1/2, you had a general goal in mind that drove the game (find the water chip, etc.) but the actual *story* that played out was essentially crafted out of what the player chose to do, rather than following a set of fixed plot points introduced by the designer. Arcanum built upon this foundation and really made a lot of stuff that didn't work about the "storymaking" model work (e.g. much more sensible and fluid companion interaction). The combat does kind of suck, but that's pretty secondary to what makes the game stand out. | ||

BG1 ran find efor the first ~hour or so I played until I decided to use Baldur's Gate Tutu to use BGII's engine and features in BG1. When playing BGII (or BG1 with the mod) my mouse pointer starts flickering (alternating between the normal movement pointer and the attack variation) and it's impossible to play. Alt tabbing resolves this temporarily but I can't alt-tab every 10 seconds... does anyone have experience with this bug? I'm playing on my win7 notebook with an nvidia graphics card (can also choose the intel HD variant) .edit: Just figured something else: holding shift or alt doesn't fix it but "overrides" the flickering with a constant attack/move cursor as long as you hold the key | ||

BG1 ran fine until I started with the mod and I'm playing without it at the moment but it's kinda demotivating to know that BGII will bug once I finish the first part Try disabling/enabling hardware acceleration in the game's options and try to vary the settings for shadows in-game. | ||
