My new monitor arrived yesterday (YAY) so after I (or rather my flatmates) got it to work properly, the first thing I did was install some games that my old monitor couldn't take (I'd bought a new system a few months ago but still used my old monitor - very frustrating to have a good videocard but no monitor to work it with).
Anyway.
I installed Arcanum, first time I play this game. I'm not looking for any spoilers, but some hints in getting started would be welcome. Such as: is there a freaking pause button on this thing?? And if not, any hints as to how combat can be made easier? Also, technology or magic? Or both? I think I'd be more suited for magic - I'm a half-elven Débutante (higher Beauty and Charisma, but lower Strength and combat skills). Oh and another thing, when leveling up, you can put the character points in stats, skills AND spells, contrary to the D&D system where you start with much higher, fixed stats and get new spells or skills every level. This really bothers me - I only got one point when I levelled up. I put it in Strength or Dexterity I think, but that means I haven't got any Skills or Spells yet! Help!
I'm only at the very beginning of the game, talked to Virgil, accepted him into my party and whacked a few wolves and sewer rats. So no spoilers beyond that please! [img]smile.gif[/img]
Any help would be much appreciated. [img]smile.gif[/img]
