I played Arcanum for about 4 hours then went back to Baldurs Gate 2 or Icewind Dale, it just was not my cup of tea at the time. Part wasthat it was brand new and if I remember right it was buggy and the interface was not very ergonomic, I wanted to like it. Maybe years later patched and perfected I should try that again. HMMMM oh Amazon.com wherfore art Arcanum?

D:OS does not remind me of Arcanum and I think it is better than Baldurs Gates in a heck of a lot of ways, but D:OS does remind me of Temple of Elemental Evil, Atari's D&D 3.5 vers rules turn based CRPG, which is really good as well but too short...come to think of it I think D:OS is too short as well, I always find myself at the end wanting one more act, one more dungeon,....a part 2 or an expansion.
