 Nice to see more folks who enjoyed Arcanum, it's unknown to most, and the setting was really something else.

Well, to be honest, Arcanum was quite hard to miss if one was into computer RPGs back in those days. I liked it fine, though I'm not really fan of mixing magic and steampunk, but I feel it got overshadowed in 2001 by Gothic and Wizardry 8

It didn't garner much attention where I lived, still riding on the wave of the massive and epic BG2, it was sidelined by most. The console space was also accelerating at the time, gamer habits changed a lot in the early 2000's. Two of my favorite titles in the genre since the golden days are actually indie productions, Pathfinder: Kingmaker and Divinity: Original Sin.

I miss Troika studios, they also made the only decent Vampire the Masquerade game back in the day. They also made the brilliant Temple of Elemental Evil, which was the first title I remember making proper use of the tactical aspects of the 3rd edition D&D rules.
