I am usually against technology in fantasy games (magic) it does not have a place in it. I always felt it would ruin the fantasy aspect of the game if you started bringing in guns, cannons (gun powder), primitive flying vessels like diragables, etc. After playing Arcanum it changed my out look some what. I'm not so hard pressed set against thaving the two intermix.
Now if they started having technology show up in Forgotten Realms than I will be very disappointed.
