Arcanum isnt dull, or at least I dont think so. It's biggest flaw is lack of balance, but in a way it would be somewhat hard to balance this game considering the insane amount of characters you can make. Sure, Arcanum isnt as good as other classics like Fallout or Planescape, but I still consider it one of the classic CRPGS. I think that after I'm done with Arcanum, I think it would be extremely fun to do a playthrough of every single fallout, from 1 to New Vegas, in order.
