Agreed. I really like Arcanum, and its setting as definitely a neat idea. I loved the bitterness between those that cherished magic and those that preferred technology.
And it's neat, because I've seen people say magic is overpowered, and I've seen people say technology is overpowered. Although I hated how the game made you specialize TOO much, but this is the case with every game. Why is it on the last act that absolutely no doors can be opened with only 5 skillpoints in lockpicking (for example).
