I agree! Arcanum is like *the* steampunk game. It's got everything you could possibly want from a game of steamy goodness.

Think of it like a mix of D&D and the industrial revolution. The sound track is a string orchestra (which is very spiffy, there's a link to download the soundtrack on the game's entry on wikipedia).

It's a shame the company that made the game went bust.. emo They also made the Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines game which was alot of fun as well!

If you've ever played the first Fallout games, it's a similar sort of thing, but obviously instead of the post-nuclear war future, it's set in a fantastic world of magic where people have decided that technology (and the steam engine) is the way forward.

Worth checking out and you can get it for cheap!

gonk
Aw jeeeez, I'm so sad to hear the company is gone. Vampire was a superbly brilliant game.
I never played Arcanum, because though I was curious and intended to buy it back in the day... I completely forgot its title and never really saw it around again. I didn't even know it was a steampunk game, lol. I'm happy to rediscover it, I'm gonna try to find it later.
