I'd started it a gazillion times, but was never able to get all the way through it. Too much irked me about the game - the combat, the stat disadvantages to certain races and most female characters, missing out on certain gameplay as a female character. Even when I tried playing through as a male character a few times, I ended up losing interest somewhere in the midst of the game, so it wasn't just the being irked by stat/gender disadvantages that made me put this game aside.

Numerous times I'd heard that the game was a lot like Fallout and it was good because the same people who did Fallout did Arcanum, etc.

Well I *love* the Fallout games. Didn't see much resemblance at all and did not inspire my interest in Troika as a game development company.

I really wanted to like this game though because I liked the steampunk world and the magic vs. technology premise, but it just didn't happen for me.

Perhaps one day it will happen, but for now, I have too large of a game backlog (including Beyond Divinity) to try again any time soon.
