Let's Play Arcanum Steampunk RPG
Support the Channel on ko-fi: ko-fi.com/michaelsnow40k
Arcanum of Steamwork and Magic Obscura is a CRPG released in 2001 by Troika Studios. Headed by Tim Cain and Leonard Boyarsky of Fallout fame Arcanum had some serious firepower in its design. But the game did poorly (possibly because of the inevitably huge number of bugs Troika's games had) and a handful of ardent modders worked to fix the games flaws. Fortunately with the passage of time (and innumerable fan-patches) we can appreciate Arcanum as a classic.
The Steampunk late 1800s setting is richly drawn with intriguing political elements. The characters are interesting and fun to adventure with. The combat is a bit hit-or-miss. Includ...

    1:24:58 I actually heard an extremely compelling argument that the Camarilla is La Cosa Nostra (the Sicilian Mafia), with each clan being a mafia family. You're brought into a world that exists beneath human society. Your every waking moment is dominated by the need to survive outside the normal society. The Camarilla has its own laws, enforced in secret. 1. The Masquerade is identical to the Code of Silence. You cannot reveal yourself to anyone on the outside. 2. Territory is to be respected. 3. You cannot bring anyone into the organisation without approval from the bosses (elders). 4. Killing a made man (kindred) is punishable by death.

    @booradley6832 19 дней назад

    Interesting that you went into it satirizing the "modern babby games" critic and then immediately pulled that point up seriously. Not sure which way to take that. Early games were made hard in the interest of two things- one quarter munching because a lot of them had arcade dreams, and two to be seen as a good value for the money, because the file sizes were so small the difficulty significantly lengthened the amount of time it took to beat. But, being difficult just to be difficult is widely seen as a mistake nowadays. However being difficult as an intentional game mechanic is seen as a good thing, like everyone's favorite critical comparison game is. Wizardry was the progenitor of that mindset imo. It was meant to be unforgiving, to see your team members die, to hit you with tragic RNG. Darkest dungeon is just a new coat of paint designed to evoke the exact feeling of Wizardry- constantly at risk of failure, party members dying, not enough space in the inventory. Wizardry was also just meant to be a challenge because the circumstances of the story said you were in an impossible situation and they wanted to represent that well, and boy did they. Difficulty back then was seen as more appropriate but nowadays having modularity is even better. Being able to specifically tone the difficulty to challenge yourself while not frustrating yourself, or to be able to take it easy when you want to, is absolutely fine. What matters more is the option to be able to turn the difficulty up if you are a player who is of that skill level. When games are tragically easy even on hard its awful.

    Hi Michael, I wasn't sure of the best place to ask this, but I was wondering if you had any plans to play the new Elden Ring DLC. I really liked your review of the base game and would love to hear your critique of the DLC.

    • @michaelsnow1
      @michaelsnow1 26 дней назад

      I pre-ordered the DLC but so far I've only played a few hours of it. I thought about making another play through like the first Elden Ring video but I'm not sure if I will. I would probably be repeating my points from the first vid like enemies having absurdly jacked up health/damage compared to the first 2 souls games. But I haven't really decided if I will or not.

      I don’t hate it but I am not a fan of how From games have become more and more actiony and less RPG. I kind of miss the methodic and slow combat of the older games. BB and Sekiro are the only games where the fast combat makes sense. I kind of miss the idea of a man in armor fighting gods. The gods are the flashy guys the knight wins by being icareful, methodical and clever.

    PSA: Don't listen to what he said about the Celerity discipline sucking. Once you put a few ranks into it, it becomes easily the most overpowered discipline in the game, letting you dodge bullets and melee windups, and it makes all the later game combat sections a lot more fun and bearable, especially if you're doing a ranged build.

    I believe Rawulfs being very pious might have some connection to cynocephalus mythos. Admittedly, I just very quickly glanced over the whole thing, but TL;DR is: people with dog heads, some saints were depicted as such, very cool. But maybe not, as I said, I didn't look too deep into it. Or maybe they just wanted dog people and the dice landed on piety boost.
