Sorry, I just reacted to the, by now very tired "meme", of tossing <insert race> around as a projectile.
No worries

Oh I agree, Arcanum is one of those special games that I wish was more popular.(but then again its old so maybe we'll get something similar in the future) I don't think any other game comes near (there are some that have a lot of reactivity but Arcanum, I think still holds the crown) when it comes to reactivity.
From race to gender, even using magic or tech, it has it all. Hell the whole game changes if you roleplay as a moron.
That's why I find it funny when someone say that BG3 is doing something never seen before or that it beats its predecessors. (Again I don't hate the game, I've enjoyed it for what it is I just don't pretend its something more than it is.)
