Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura: The Original Arcanum cRPG


Arcanum cRPG



Welcome to my cRPG blog on Arcanum of Steamworks and Magick Obscura, a cRPG Definition developed by Troika (2001).

Arcanum Index



Arcanum System Requirements


Arcanum requires at minimum an Intel Pentium II 300 Mhz CPU, 64 megs of RAM and 8 megs of vRAM, but the recommendation is 450 MHz, 128 megs of RAM and 16 megs of vRAM or greater.

Arcanum was coded for Windows 95 to XP but is compatible with 7 to 11 as well (more or less; I have personally always been able get Arcanum going on various setups and OSes, from 2001-2024).

Supporting both 3D hardware acceleration and software aka CPU rendering, Arcanum was coded to display in square-pixel SVGA VESA 800x600 256-color graphics mode under the DirectX 7.0/8.0 API.

The Arcanum source code is owned by Tim Cain.


Arcanum Patch


Arcanum was patched by Troika to its final, official state of 1.0.7.4 in Sept. 2001. My Arcanum commentary is based exclusively on this authoritative version.

Arcanum Character Creation


Gender Arcanum


There is plenty of flavorsome gender-based reactivity in Arcanum. In some cases, the reactivity is mechanical. For example, females may not enter the Gentleman's Club in Tarant without an invitation. Most notably, females are restricted in race choices (can't be Dwarves, Gnomes, Halflings or Half-Ogres).

Male


You are the male gender of your race. You tend to be stronger than a female, albeit with a lower constitution.

Female


You are the female gender of your race. You can withstand pain, exhaustion and toxins better than males and receive a +1 to constitution, but you are slightly weaker and receive a -1 to strength.

Character Points Arcanum


In chargen, we receive five character points to spend on attributes, skills, spells and degrees. Choose wisely. Each time we level up, we receive only one point to spend. It is crucial to choose wisely here as well, especially in the early game. Note that character points can be held in reserve and only spent when needed. I've given examples of this in my walkthrough. The maximum character level in Arcanum is 50.

Attributes Arcanum



  • Strength (ST): Physical-based damage dealers. Modifies damage bonus, hitpoints and encumbrance Note that weapons have Strength requirements. Also, more Strength is required when off-handing a shield. 20 ST = double damage
  • Constitution (CN): Governs fatigue and resistance to poison and some spells. Does NOT govern hitpoints. 20 CN = Immunity to poison
  • Dexterity (DX): Max. Dexterity is the best attribute in Arcanum. Increases initiative (who goes first) and governs movement speed and armor class (AC) as well as attack rate and casting rate. Many skills (including Melee, Bow and Throwing) are governed by DX. 20 DX = 25 speed
  • Beauty (BE): Modifies Reaction (how NPCs perceive us, how much money merchants give us). 20 BE = 100% Reaction. Medallion of Beauty + Beauty blessing in Stillwater.
  • Intelligence (IN): >=5 or idiot-talking, determines no. of spells active for Mages, governs the learning of tech disciplines. Buffs Expertise which governs our ability to assemble from schematics. If you subsequently crank to IN to >=5 in-game, you'll start talking normally and your journal entries will be updated accordingly. 20 IN = 10% bonus to all skills
  • Willpower (WP): Governs the learning of spell colleges. Modifies hitpoints and fatigue. The most important stat for Mages. 20 WP: Immunity to spells that are resisted by Willpower
  • Perception (PE): Useful for Firearms and a few thieving skills, but not for Bow or Throwing.  PE can also reduce to-hit penalties. 20 PE = Trap-spotting
  • Charisma (CH): Impacts max followers aka companions. Governs the important Persuasion skill. With 20 Charisma we can have five companions. Does NOT modify buying prices by itself though it governs the Haggle skill, which does (Beauty modifies Reaction, which modifies selling prices). 20 CH: Companions have 100% loyalty. Early Charisma boosts and gypsy blessing.

Derived Stats Arcanum



In real-time, we can see the impact attributes have on derived stats when we spend our character points on attributes. Some of these stats are impacted by gender, race, backgrounds and items as well.

ALL resistances cap out at 95%. Note that Magick resistance is not as useful in Arcanum, as it is, in say, Baldur's Gate. This is because there aren't many spellcasting enemies in Arcanum.
 

Skills Arcanum



  • Combat Skills: Bow, Dodge, Melee, Throwing
  • Thieving Skills: Backstab, Pick Pocket, Prowling, Spot Trap
  • Social Skills: Gambling, Haggle, Heal, Persuasion
  • Technological Skills: Repair, Firearms, Pick Locks, Disarm Traps

As can be seen in the above graphick, skills increase in rank up to 5. The rank determines the effectiveness of the skill as well as the tier of training we can undertake. 

For a fee, skills can be trained by trainer-NPCs in the gameworld. The tiers are: Apprentice, Expert and Master. Trainers become rarer in proportion to their skill. For Masters, only one exists on the continent of Arcanum.

To become a Master, we have to do a quest for the master-trainer NPC. Example: Persuasion Master Quest. However, in most cases Expert-level is sufficient.

Each rank and tier bestows bonuses to the skill. For example, ranks and training in Bow, Melee, Throwing and Firearms modifies the speed rating of our weapon, which modifies the action point (AP) expenditure required to swing, throw or fire the weapon (attack rate).

Martial skills aside, the best skill in Arcanum is Persuasion (it allows us to bypass the Dredge, for example). Virgil cranks Heal. NPCs can repair items for us.

If we're a warrior, Dodge and Melee should be maxed because Dodge allows us to avoid an attack completely, and Melee impacts our to-hit chance.

The traps skills are all but useless because traps are not deadly enough and there are not enough of them. Some areas show the impact trap density and lethality could have had on character building.

Gunfighter and archer builds are difficult for newbies, early on. One perk of Throwing (other than it's fun) is that ammo is of no concern. Throwing is also mandatory for Explosives technologists.

Arcanum Bow trainer: There is actually apprentice training for Bows in Shrouded Hills: the halfling guard that patrols the town. If you can't find him, just wait outside Gaylin the Herbalist. He'll circle around eventually. For Expert training, we need to find the Elite Bow Captain in Dernholm (wears a Suede Jacket, wields Compound Bow). Master training is from Kietzel Pierce at Annabelle's Galley, Black Root (later found in Caladon).

Magick-Tech Dichotomy Arcanum


Characters in Arcanum can be of Neutral, Magic or Tech aptitude. As we spend character points in spell colleges or technological disciplines, our aptitude increases for magic or tech. This value is shown on the magic-tech meter. With high magic aptitude, equipped magic items function more effectively (cf. Arcane Platemail).

Conversely, magic-based characters should avoid using technological items such as firearms, though some tech-based items can be wielded without issue due to being of low-tech nature (Balanced Sword). 

Our aptitude determines which merchants are willing to deal with us (example at the end of this post).
 
Characters with high magick aptitude cannot ride on the steam train in Tarant. However, they usually have high Dex scores to compensate somewhat (movement speed). Conversely, dedicated Dwarven Mechanics, who may not be able to afford much in the way of Dex, take advantage of the train.

In determining which companions are willing to join our party, the dichotomy is also reactive.

Reaction Arcanum


The reaction value of NPCs changes with dialogue choices and can be viewed in realtime during dialogue segments. The reaction thresholds are as follows:

  • Love
  • Amiable
  • Courteous
  • Neutral
  • Suspicious
  • Dislike
  • Hatred

Those with anti-social backgrounds, or disabilities and disfigurement, can be friendly in dialogue in order to raise NPC dispositions from Dislike up to Neutral.

Reaction modifies selling prices, too. That is, the higher our Reaction score, the more money merchants will give us for our garbage.
 
As mentioned above, the Beauty stat modifies Reaction. Elegant Dress or Smoking Jacket = Reaction +20, which stacks with the bonus conferred by Purity of Water.

List of Reputations in Arcanum


Reputations impact the Reaction of citizens faction-wide or community-wide. If people and communities have 100 Reaction, they love and adore us whereas if they have -100, they hate us and want to kill us.
