Yes, looks good so far

[@susiederkins6612]

Unfortunately it's 2024 so it can't be good

[@zinematicgaming]

In 15 seconds or less of trailer the subtext is all Imperialist whites oppressing magical blacks.

Arcanum has been played by new generations but not well understood. The lore was cobblers and the graphics were dated. What was good about it was the immense amount of detail that went into every direction the player might want to roleplay. That wasn't sustained well and was very patchy for some classes and builds, but it was so nice when some unique dialogue option popped up that fit to how you were playing your Wandering Archaeologist (or whatever). It made up for the lore being old hat about some class-conflict stuff. It also had a big world for its time - not recordbreakingly so and not without padding of RNG encounters, but enough to be appreciated. Imitating Arcanum is easy because it didn't have many particularly special mechanics and often programmed them quite badly - and other series like Wizardry were already writing to allow for deeply-customized characters (like Fairy Ninjas) - the test is whether it has such masses of content just in case the player wants to go off and pursue some peculiar option. This is why it never had many imitators: it's not a particularly sane way to develop a product.

well put

Arcanum is such a wonderful game. I just wish this wasn't class based.

love it

Is it woke?

[@KazukiKazam]

absolutely

[@shadowsift]

@@KazukiKazam not buying it then 😒

[@KazukiKazam]

@@shadowsift actually I don't know 😂, but what I do know, is that fighting there looked so bad. Maybe in the final release it will be better? That orc female in the CGI looked very woke to me, though.

I didn't see any pronouns so I say no.
