'''''Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura''''' is an expansive and very open-ended [[Role-Playing Game]] where Tolkienian [[High Fantasy]] meets Vernian [[Steampunk]], courtesy of the designers behind the first two ''[[Fallout]]'' games.
Much of ''Arcanum'' deals with [[Item Crafting]] and character building: almost everything the player finds can be customized, and [[The Dev Team Thinks of Everything]]. It contains a very detailed setting and a well-designed scenario, as well as ''vast'' amounts of political backstory in the game's libraries, newspapers and legends. The game retains a cult following similar to its cousin ''[[Fallout]]'', and is additionally often very favorably compared to ''[[Baldurs Gate II]]'' and ''[[Planescape: Torment]]'', although ''Arcanum'''s detail focuses more on its setting's history and mechanisms than on its playable characters.
