Encard, could you please enlighten me on what Divine Divinity is?
Ziroc, thanks for the links, Dungeon Siege looks really nice.
And I'm fond of that idea of using packmules

Let me say at first that my opinion is based on rather large demo of Arcanum (250 MB) - it let you play the actual game through the first three locations and explore wildness if you please. There are a lot of quests even in demo.
It is funny but my dislike of Arcanum was developed due SoA-TOB - after such a magnificent game any comparison was not to the benefit of Arcanum.
Basically, Arcanum is something like Fallout taking place in the beginning of 20th century plus magic - but IMO Fallout was far, far better (in combat, levelling up the characters and involving in the gameplay).
There are NPC's you can take in your party, but nothing like *alive* NPC's from SoA. No NPC's interactions (well, you can say a couple of words to them - like it was in Fallout). Dialogues are nothing like brilliant conversations in SoA, they are just... well... getting information.
May be I should stop whinning, it was only demo actually... But that awful map screen, strange graphics, movement bugs...
Of course, Arcanum HAS its own pluses - but they are fading while comparing to SoA.
