Line 14:
''Arcanum'' has a level cap of 50, which encourages players to specialize in very specific types of magic or technology (however, a no-CD-patch combined with a level cap remover patch can quickly fix that). Uniquely, knowledge of technology in ''Arcanum'' disables magical aptitude, and vice versa, so that the player will always have to choose between the two (or find a very, very careful balance) and (eventually) be shunned by the other branch.
Remarkably, the game is still being tested and patched by a squadron of devoted fans today. A new release by [[Good Old Games]] is [https://web.archive.org/web/20121118161044/http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/arcanum_of_steamworks_and_magick_obscura now available], with the notorious bugs fixed and the game adapted to modern systems.
A sequel—titled ''Journey to the Centre of Arcanum'' and using ''[[Half Life]]'''s Source engine -- [[What Could Have Been|was in its initial planning stages]], but Sierra and Valve had disagreements, and Troika's dissolution sealed the game's fate.
