Arcanum- YAY!

[JML]

First of I'd like to say that this is a great game, and if you have played fallout before you will take to this game well. Right now I'm going through the game with my evil elf mage, and he can kick some serious ass.

My strategy-
Since elves start with 15% magical apptitude, add to that the 20% magical app. you can get from the background "sold soul" and you start the game off with 35% magical app. ! Use one of your beginning points in harm. The character attributes you will want to bring up with a spellcasting character are constitution, willpower, dex (bring this up enough that you can max out the skill "dodge"- the only really useful skill you will have for this character). Intelligence should be at least 8. Aside from harm, the most useful skill trees are necro black, force, the one with unlocking cantrip and transport in it (I forget the name =P), and summoning.

Opinions/strategies welcome

That game had awesome potential...then they ruined it by giving it the worst possible engine they could find. Played the demo, was so looking forward to playing after filling out the incredible Character bio, then got to the actual game and it was just like, "what!? This is it!?!!" Then I realized why they had never posted screenshots. :rolleyes:

I was really excited about Arcanum, picked it up the day it was released, played it, gameplay was really dull in my opinion, I am a huge fallout fan, but Arcanum does nothing for me
