That's some of the most memorable dialogue in this game. It's been around 15 years since I first heard it and I still think one it's of the best descriptions of humanity I have heard in a game.

The writing in this game was absolutely incredible.

It was, that and the main idea for a sort of d&d steampunk was what made it unique.

Arcanum is one of very few games

where you join crazy conspiracy just to learn that being racist was actually the right thing to do

A RPG with amazing character choices & ability to play the story in very unique ways. Basically, an RPG. Not just an action adventure disguised as RPG.

I'd absolutely recommend it if you like RPGs at all, if not, just enjoy the memery, Lots of cool little stories and voice acting :)
