Arcanum is very good, only a few problems the biggest of which are that it has an unnecessary level cap at level 50 and is slightly buggy. Definitely a must game if you are into steam punk or cRPG’s of any sort regardless.

It's my most favourite game next to Planescape: Torment and the Fallout RPGs. I has exactly the right ballance between Steampunk and Fantasy and the pure fun of building all those mechanical gadgets had me doing nothing else than trying to get certain components for weeks ;)</p> I LOVE this game.
