I played a little of it when I first got it, but then I heard that it’s better to patch it. So I joined the discord for it and figured I’d look into that later. Well later turned into years, eventually I left the discord server to make space for other servers and never did wind up going back to Arcanum.
Now I’m really getting into Fallout thanks to the show, and I’ve heard many people say that if I like Fallout to try Arcanum.
So I tried to get back into the Discord, however I found I’ve been banned. Which is odd, it’s not like I got into a bad situation with an admin or anything. I pretty much never interacted with anyone. So I can only assume they saw that I was there for so long and assumed I was a bot (Or maybe someone got a DM from me back when my account was hacked), and I can’t get a hold of anyone to get back in.
I’ve heard that if I want to enjoy the game to find the multiverse edition, but apparently that’s hosted on the Discord I can’t get into.
Is it worth trying to track down an alternative means of playing that patch? And is the game really as good as they say?
Thanks in advance.

Definitely worth it even without the community patches!
Hell yeah it is!
Just maybe keep it in turn based mode the first time because combat is brutal AF and in real time on a modern machine, is also so fast it would make Sonic the Hedgehog cry.
The mechanics are fun to fuck with in how magic and technology play on each other and it forces you to take on situations entirely differently based on your build. There’s also a ton of companions and no way to have all of them in a single run. The story is also gnar.
The version on Steam works great. Pretty sure it’s fully patched up with the community patches.
Should I try to find a way to get the multiverse edition or?
I will admit, the perceived complexity of the game is a big reason I’m nervous to dive in. Thanks for the tip, I would have avoided Turn Based fearing it would be more complicated than Real Time.
Yes I have been spoiled by the hand holding of modern games, but I wanna become true gamer.
Tim Cain is the man. you can’t go wrong with the guy that created Fallout.
Did… did you just sign your post off, email/blog style? I can respect it.
I kinda lowkey wish there was a signature option so that we could proudly put our early 2000 forum signature banners on display.
