I heard Arx Fatalis is even better than dark messiah m&m, so i decided to play it.
What am I in for? Any tips/build would be appreciated.

Arx, Messiah and Morrowind are the trinity or overrated garbage of Sup Forums.
If you pretended to like one, might as well pretend to like the other two.

Friend got me to play it, it's sorta neat. Melee is boring, and the same as Morrowind.

Go magic, it's more fun.

>What am I in for?
One of the best dungeon crawlers around.

>Any tips/build would be appreciated.
Include magic in your build.

>What am I in for?
Ultima Underworld 3

(You)

I don't like morrowind though.

The combat is worse, but everything else is better.

>overrated
what? We barely talk about it. Retard

OP, you really have to use magic to make things interesting. The game is pretty good imho. Exploration is rewarded and maps are complex, iirc, and there are some interesting subquests

It's one of the most atmospheric dungeon crawlers ever.
Caster build in Arx Fatalis is one of the most unique experiences so try it.

If you're going caster then download a patch or something because the magic casting system is literally broken if you have a modern monitor/resolution/aspect ratio.

Arx Liberatis or something, it's a unofficial fixed version of the game.

>afraid of that spider at THAT point of the game

????

Spiders again, fuck.

don't forget

That's not a normal spider you see at the beginning, it's fire immune.

>fire immune spiders

prepare to cook some food motherfucker

overrated=/=bad

>do i fit in yet guyz?? XDDD
>the post

I'll just go to my room and take a nap...

>it's fire immune
well shit, I played as mostly self buffing warrior mage, so I didn't really noticed that

Is there a way to fucking run faster

Haste spell.

Never really see anyone rate Arx or Messiah around here. MW, sure.

Someone give them a hint to do hd remaster with VR suport, this game is literally perfect, imagine casting spells in real time with these things

Ignore stealth and bows. They're shit.

probably would be easy for anyone with a programming background to do since the game's open source

I couldn't get into it

Not because I didn't want to but because rune signs never worked for me

anybody got a good download link?

older games like this are sometimes a bitch to find a fastish torrent of

Is this really unplayable without Libertatis? I have it on Steam and wanted to just install and try it. Having to resort to sourceports for a 2002 game is just sad - even Quake 1 works natively on Win 10, both in software mode and GLQuake

That makes sense. I tried that fucking sign a gorillion times and nothing. I'll give it a go some day.

>feel like trying out arx fatalis
>thread pops up
This is great

The game isn't open source, the Arx Libertatis source port is.

>The Crypt in Arx

welp, this is news to me

Does gog version contain it?
But I doubt i would need that with my ancient monitor.

I began a playthrough a week ago, made a mage and have been having a lot of fun. I found a note in the troll caves about a secret entrance into the snake womens lair, managed to find it and went in. They were all hostile so I was running around frantically chugging potions and desperately trying to draw the symbols for fireball but I managed to kill them all eventually.

Later on after I progress in the main story, I find that the snake women are friends with the king. Have I fucked my playthrough by burning them all to toasty snake kebabs?

Why contain it? Let it spill over into the schools and churches, let the bodies pile up in the streets. In the end, they'll beg us to save them.

>yfw you see this guy

fek pic didnt add

I got through it fine playing vanilla, but Liberatis makes it so, so, much better.

Is the spellcasting really JUSTed on vanilla? You did a playthrough without it?

s'cool

And they say neo-Sup Forums isn't real

I've played arx fatalis vanilla spells only and honestly it's incredibly easy. Just set up 3 fireballs and you can kill pretty much anything with those 3.

Great game, unfortunately by the end I got really bored because playing as mage is too easy, you just cast a fireball and everybody dies.

I meant how people were saying modern resolutions fuck up the casting

It's super finicky on vanilla, but once you get the hang of it (and it will be a while before you do), you'll be able to cast spells on the fly with no problems. I don't know if that's an issue with modern resolutions or just a part of the game. That said, it's still a good idea to have 3 fireballs on autocast like said.

>fire immune

Leave messiah out of this shitheads

I played through the game not even a month ago and they're not immune to fire damage.

Wow, what are the chances of 2 out of three games cited in the OP being "the trinity of overrated garbage"? Makes you think....

I know they aren't, it was a joke.
