Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura remains my favourite game ever. But it is showing its age, it looks much like one of many generic story-based isometric RPGs of its time, and it's hard to understand what the fuck is going on with the gameplay, but once you learn, you realise it's just that the mechanics go scarily deep, the story is astounding, multi-layered and genuinely inspiring. The voice acting is silly in bits, but overall very impressive, and same for the soundtrack. I can still just daydream about the infinite possibilities and characters from that setting. It's just.. so much more. I've played it through 10+ times.
I might go play it again now. I need to see what interactions happen if you get a high enough Charisma to gather all the voiced followers in one big party.
