Still malding over the ZA/UM Disco Elysium fiasco? Same! But in the meanwhile why not check out another CRPG that set the bar for that feel of narrative freedom? In Arcanum you play in a fantasy world akin to that of DnD that is undergoing an industrial revolution, with all the societal changes it entails. Deal directly with racial discrimination including a cabal of phrenologists and eugenicists writing scholarly texts about why orcs and ogres are inferior to the other races. Unionize orcs in awful factory conditons and even organize a worker's uprising. Discover a horrific government conspiracy that upends your entire view of the world, and play it all through the eyes of a number of elaborate player builds that vastly change how you play and how the world interacts with you.
Give this a watch and see if it vibes with you, although it does have spoilers for the main quest, if that's something you wanna avoid
My dream game is Arcanum remade using Divinity: Original Sin's engine.
God yes; to be honest, any kind of remaster, or dare I say it, a sequel to this game is long overdue.
The quest about the gnomes
:jesus-christ: That makes me think the devs of this must have been chuds of some variety.
If you have enough intelligence score and enough :debatebro-l: skills trained up, you can convince the final boss of that game to basically give up early.
