Arcanum: Of Steamworks & Magick Obscura - [Episode: 66] - [Tech Build] - Banglien Return
3I honestly wish I destroyed this sword first time, going back was PAINFUL.
Least no one obtained it from the junk trader, that'd be nasty.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Arcanum is a bloody great RPG of the early 2000s, made by Troika Games! The same people who made Vampire: The Masquerade: Bloodlines!
Arcanum takes all the elements from the classic Fallout games and takes it up to eleven with a lot of interesting new systems like craftings, class system, and their quite unique approach to Technology and Magic!
It's not a perfect game by any stretch, it's a bit rough in places and while the world is amazing it does kinda fall off towards the end sadly but I won't say anything else on that.
I hope you'll enjoy this playthrough, I have nothing but love for Arcanum and it's easily one of my favorite RPGs of all time.

[Purchase]
Arcanum can be bought off either Steam or GoG for a decent price with GoGs being a little bit cheaper.
This playthrough is using the GoG version, far as I can tell there is little to no difference between the two although I do prefer the GoG one.
GoG: https://www.gog.com/game/arcanum_of_steamworks_and_magick_obscura
Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/500810/Arcanum_Of_Steamworks_and_Magick_Obscura/
Keep in mind: While the VTM: Bloodlines on GoG usually has the unofficial patch on, the same is NOT applied to Arcanum. YOU WILL NEED TO INSTALL THE UNOFFICIAL PATCH YOURSELF.
Please note: I am not affiliated with any of these links, they are there along with my recommendation so you can get it for yourself at hopefully a decent price.

[Mods and Patches]
This playthrough is using the Unofficial patch and + HQ improvements by Terra Arcanum, and it has to be said it's bloody needed!
Troika games, while great, do need a lot of work afterwards in order to fix various problems and instabilities, Arcanum is no different sadly.
The link and list below are the mods I've used for this playthough, it's faffy and will be a pain to install but I assure you it makes the game a lot friendlier to play.
Terra Arcanum Website: https://terra-arcanum.com/downloads/
I am using the following:
- Unofficial Arcanum Patch V091225
- High Quality Townmaps
-Arcanum High Resolution Patch 1.1a*
-High Quality Music (Mp3)
* I've set my games resolution at 1280x720, anything beyond always looks waaay too big and makes the text a bit tiny.
MAKE SURE YOU FOLLOW THE READMES
I did use a really detailed video for the instillation of the patch but sadly it's not there anymore :( There is a good one by the user "Obonsville" that gives a pretty good rundown of the installation.
