Does TOEE hold up against Arcanum and VTMB? I was under the impression is was more of a dungeon crawl?
Well it could of been four games if the developer didn't shut down.Ahh, Troika. They made only three games, but they made three classics. When I started making video wallpapers of some of my favorite games, the troika of Troika was near the top of the list: Arcanum, Bloodlines and The ToEE.
A short career perhaps, Troika, but you were batting a thousand.
Well if you just played the original bug ridden version then I agree. Nowadays thanks to a few dedicated modders in the last few years the game lives up to it's full potential.Detested Bloodlines
They just chose the wrong module imo. Story is pretty forgettable and you don't really have any motivation to do anything.
Still the game was a huge achievement because it had the best combat system ever made.

Loved Arcanum & ToEE!
Detested Bloodlines.
Well, 2/3rds of the Troika founders (Cain and Boyarsky) are already making an unannounced game at Obsidian. No Kickstarter needed apparently. Doubt it will live up to Troika standards. But time will tell.I keep hoping and praying that a few of the fellows from Troika will band up and organize a kickstarter, and show everyone how it's done. They'd likely get a ton of money and we'd all benefit, in the end.
Yeah, I certainly found it boring. It supposedly has a very good TB system, but that doesn't do anything for me unless there are interesting characters, locations, storylines and so on.Does TOEE hold up against Arcanum and VTMB? I was under the impression is was more of a dungeon crawl?
For me it is Bloodlines>>ToEE and I only played Arcanum for few hours before I decided I didn't like it.Bloodlines is the best of the three by far.
Bloodlines > Arcanum > ToEE for me
