Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura - Megathread

Oh god, I just used up like 90 something bullets on an iron ore golem, and right around the corner there was a rock rat that was even more powerful. I didn't have any money or ammo left so I just let it kill me.
How does one get large amounts of money in this?
I just borrowed this off my friend again, but my install gets stuck like so:

Does anyone know what this is?
EDIT: Fixed it.
Other than that, does anyone remember how to do the pickpocket trick in the first town, with the chest in the back? I can kind of remember it, but not exactly how.
Who actually owns the rights to this now?
By the way where does one acquire this game. Amazon only has links to other resellers, all of which I don't usually trust since I've been duped quite a few times by them.
Is there any way to get the game manual online? I just got this game off a friend for five dollars, but he lost the manual somewhere at his house. I'd like to read it, thanks :)

If anyone wants to try to do a hamachi MP game, hit me up.
Just remember, I can't host.
it's a pain to get past the thieves.
I could blow up the gate and run, but it would be a waste of the dynamite.
I can't pay them 1k either.
Fighting is not an option too.

Convince them that you're a thief too.
How do you break those suplies?
Like Diablo, with a better story, but worse gameplay.

[sp]A really cheap method so you don't waste supplies, take everything off, and just punch the machines, let Virgil heal you, a lot.[/sp]

That was what i was looking for, thanks.
[sp]I noticed Virgil attacking a door but couldn't replicate it.[/sp]
[B]Edit:[/B]
Still can't attack them. It costs AP but it doesn't do anything.
Also, like click and wait is perfect for combat.

Nevermind

Yeah, I remember playing this a few years back... the combat is terrible.
I've never played Diablos but I didn't think the combat was half bad.
Started a gunslinger cheating the ammo just for the fun of playing gunslinger and not having to beg for ammo.
Gotta say it's much easier to kill stuff. Especially at low lovels.

I didn't really like Diablos because they're too much hack'n slash and overall I prefer turn based combat.
God I love this game.

It was sucky at the first but when I got into it, it's a lot of fucking fun.
The first time I chopped a wolf in half I shat.
The world is just freaking huge.
I plan on getting this, reminds me of Fallout and I loved Fallout.
How do I do windowed mode?
are there any mods for this game? i'm considering buying it.
The game is AWESOME, way better than Fallout 2 (Fallout is great too) and it have steampunk in it.
This game could've been great if it weren't for the awful combat system.
Is there anyway to get this in windowed mode or increase resolution? I found an app for it ages ago but it made the HUD all terrible.
Mh tried this game twice. Sadly I never got into it (and I got into Morrowind :P)
I'll try it again. Now I'm all grown up and intelligent, I shall play this game!
It has steam punk!
That's like saying one cannot get into 3d sex villa, it has sex in it. So awesome content but no playing, doesn't fit I presume :geno:

Many games have sex in them but there is almost no games that have steampunk in them.
That makes it even worse not playing it
Oh the nostalgia. I played this game when I was around 8 or 9. All I remember is a big green ogre guy.
