    Hi all,

    I'm kinda stuck in tarant, and it is getting boring, so;

    If anyone is kind enough to share their save file with me, please PM me or post a link here...

    Thanks in advance

    :lol:

    I'd help you if I could, but I haven't had Arcanum on my hard drive since I upgraded my computer like a year ago. I think a lot of people that still go to this board - or at least General Discussion part of the board - haven't played Arcanum in a long time. You'd probably get better results if you posted this in the Tips and Hints section, because those people are still playing the game.

    So while I can't help you with a save game, if tell us what you're stuck on, we could probably help you there.

    yea... I won't give you my save-game, but if you tell me (on here or PM) what the problem is, and what the last couple big moves you did were, I'll see what I can do to help ya

    I only have two saves right now, one hack where i have killed basically everyone in Shrouded Hills, Dernholm, and Blackroot so I could run lots and lots of tests, and another at the very end, so I can't help you, but Milo is wrong, I still play regularly, although most of it isn't REAL playing, it's just testing.

    Heh, judging by the responses in this thread, it sure seems like it.

    I kind of assumed most of the people in GD were in the same boat as me. It'd be interesting to see how many of us actually still play the game. I have nothing against the game; I quite liked it way back when, but the thought of playing through it again never crosses my mind any more. I don't even know where my game discs are any more. Maybe I'll start a poll...

    i just got arcanum and i play it on and off, its a really good game, but its not like i dont have better things to do etc. i mean a good single player game is a ton of fun, but nothing beats lording over you vanquished foes in a multiplayer environment, no matter what it is. even a lot of the pen and paper stuff i did in high school boiled down to ten of my friends plotting against each other, and slowly calculating lots of well timed pk's.

    yea... it is kinda hard to find a good single player game... btw, Sleek, if your interesting in a pretty cool (non-turn based) single player game, look up Siege of Avalon, it's not nearly as diverse as Arcanum, and the plot is set-in-stone, but if your after just a game to dwindle away some hours when your Arcanumed out, it's a pretty good one...

    I'm still playing it, even though I have completed it a few times by now. Of course the reason why I'm playing it now is because I'm trying to turn it into a pnp rpg. =)
    Yes, I have no job and no life. =)

    Really? Converting Arcanum to a PnP RPG... interesting. Say, are you building a completely new system, or are you simply modifying an already existing one (like D&D 3.5 or, what is it now, eh... GURPS?)

    I'm actually trying to use the system used in the game, as far as I can figure it out. ;) There will be some changes to it though, especially to the damage-system, since some of the damage-codes don't translate terribly well into ordinary dice. 1-15 for instance.
    Making a complete list of items that you can find or buy is really a drag, but I'm getting there. I've done the normal equipment and the tech (Yes, I prefer the tech) and I'm now working on the magickal equipment.

    PnP, acronym for Pen and Paper, you know, tabletop roleplaying games.

    BAH! oh ok, yeah that makes sense. if anyone is interested i found a pen and paper version of fallout... the link is... http://pnp.duckandcover.net/

    i think it looks pretty cool, even though i might make a few changes to it so it takes a little longer to get uber-powerful...

    Apart from some of the lists, I have also made a charactersheet, which can be viewed here.

    I may be lazy, but I don't have that much free tyme, sorry, and even if I did then I would go through and play my immense list of DIVERSE games... (I just had to rub that point in :lol: ) that would be much more enjoyable then taking 15 minutes to calculate a single fight with a rat when I could have the comp do it for me. :p

    I must concur, I have precalculus and physics to give me a stoke, I don't need my hit percentage while attacking a bunny with a blugeoning weapon to help that.

    On the other hand you would get to spend a entire evening with your friends playing a game that you enjoy. It doesn't really matter how long it takes, providing you're into that human-comunication-and-socalising-thing and don't substitute it with via-computer-comunication. ;)
