PM's sent. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I agree, parties are of ambivalent value in Arcanum. Frankly, if the developers had only allowed you to direct your party members a la BG2 or PS:T, I think parties would be a lot more fun to play. As it is, combat's a disaster, unless--as you suggest--you're pretty much running only yourself.
Well, the combat isn't that bad in Arcanum. At the beginning of the game, I mean. At the end all I have to do is approach someone and poke him with something so he dies. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />
Thanks for the PM.
Spick:
If you can do the fights by yourself, it's fine. Virgil isn't the best fighter but it's good if he stays away from the fights and heals you <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />.
Earth magic is a good decision again <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />. Body of Earth, for instance, can kick... donkey <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />.
Cheers. Enjoy one of my 5 favorite RPGs.
(The rest is: Fallout 1, Fallout 2, Vampire: Redemption and BG2. I feel that Beyond Divinity will be added too <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />).
