in_symathySo good to be back an re-live all this #Fallout2 pure awesomeness again after so many years.
Even more so thanks to the amazing Fallout2 Restoration Project (https://github.com/BGforgeNet/Fallout2_Restoration_Project) - so many fixes and cool new things! Just wow.
They simply don't make games like #Fallout and #Arcanum anymore. Never will probably.
P.S.: long live #troikagames
Tommi NieminenPaikalla ollaan, mutta pääpuhujaa vielä uupuu! #TurunYliopisto'n #Arcanum-rakennus ja #MelkoYleistäKielitiedettä on ilmoitettu klo 16–19, mutta ehkä aloitus tapahtuu perinteisen akateemisen vartin myöhemmin… #kielitiede #tiedejuttuja

Man it's good to play a refreshed version of a game you used to spend hours in more than 20 years ago 👏.
P.S.: I wonder why do modern day games have much better visuals but are lacking in terms of soul and atmosphere? Take for example #Fallout 2, #Arcanum, #Heroes 3, #Stronghold, #GTA3, #Quake, #MaxPayne...

max 🃏#Arcanum nutzt Tarotkarten als besonderes Gimmick. Damit bewegen wir auch Figuren, um bestimmte Fraktionen aufzuwerten und so bestenfalls die meisten Punkte zu erzielen. Interessante Idee, die aber leider an der Unübersichtlichkeit des Spielplans und schlechter Symbolik scheitert. #Brettspiele
vga256some of the best news i've heard all year: alex batalov (who worked on the F1 and F2 engine re-implementations) is now taking on reverse-engineering Arcanum's engine

Jakers (he/him)(I say that because maybe you've seen me say it here and I don't wanna be *that guy*)
So there's the #Arcanum rules for #Ironsworn, but I wanted to also pull in some of the lore, just maybe at a more dialed-back state. And man, does this hold promise.
So now this might become my "kinda-a-Witcher becomes a weird gopher for a covenant of weird wizards" game. And then I can hop from character to character, which is how an Ars Magica game is supposed to go.
