chuckles Ok, ok – I give in! I’m at this very moment downloading the demo of the most recommended Steampunk game as sent in by very kind contributors – Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magicka Obscura. People such as Mr M Ryan, Mr J Meeker, and several more have recommended this game quite highly – being mindful of its flaws, but enjoying it for very indepth character creation and the technological successor to Fallout (by the same company, Troika).

In a world of elves, trolls, orcs and dwarves, where magick and technology do not make easy bedfellows, and racial strife abounds between previously cleekish fantasy species, you create your avatar of extraordinary depth – choose magick or technology to be your tools (or neither) and enter a world unlike any that I’ve played before.

For more information, maybe you’d like to visit the comprehensive Wikipedia page. I look forward to trying it out, despite my previous aversion to ‘fantasy’ Steampunk. smiles
