      One of a kind. I wish they’d make another one, it’s such a unique setting at least as far as I’m aware.

    As others have said, it’s a great game with lots of content. The GOG version should work on most systems, but the game will need the unofficial patch - otherwise, there are plenty of bugs left, plus some missing hints, dialog items etc. that will make for a confusing experience.

    Unofficial patch: https://terra-arcanum.com/drog/uap.html

    This patch now also includes the high resolution patch, along with high resolution town maps and audio. The high res patch is also recommended since it improves compatibility with modern systems.

      It’s really good. Interesting take on the standard fantasy CRPG tropes; a fantasy world of magic going through industrialization. Many different ways to play the game (albeit the industrialists/drone operator approach is IMO too difficult for a first play though).

    Pretty interesting review for anyone interested. There are spoilers about 2/3 through: https://youtu.be/HMUugZ3DxH8?feature=shared

    Great game, but do yourself a favor and get the fanpatch.

      What’s the fanpatch? I’m still trying to get it to run on modern hardware without lagging.

      Don’t know why they used the term “dozens”, maybe they meant mainline quests. There are hundreds of quests from what I remember (some are pretty simple though).

        I think it’s just a typo but I find it hilarious.

Video games are not mere time killers. They are albums of sound, aesthetics, animation and narrative.

This community is in appreciation of that. Screenshots, fanart, animations, gameplay clips. It is all welcome here.

The one common thread should be an eye for the aesthetic. This is not a place to discuss mechanics or stats, but to show off simply the artistic, expressed through the video game medium.

  1. All rules of the parent instance apply. That is, sopuli.xyz
  2. Include the name of the game your post is associated with in the post title.
  3. If your post is fanart, include a link to the artist in post body, if you can. You may also ping @saucechan@ani.social to have it attempt to find the source for you, and provide it in a comment.
  4. MARK ANY TEXT SPOILERS, as for art, do not post content that outright spoils key moments of a games narrative. Content that can only be understood with the context of having played the game, is ok.
  5. No generative AI art.
