Somehow this came up in another thread and got me thinking about it. I kept hoping it would come up for sale on steam but found it on Good old Games for five bucks. The game is a study in taking universe detail and storytelling to another level. It always saddens me that kids who think the FF series is the pinacle of cRPG's will never play Arcanum, Fallout, Planescape: Torment, or some of the other old time greats.
