I sure didn't like multiplayer in Arcanum, firstly I couldn't work out how to save, secondly I couldn't turn the game into turn based, thirdly the first monsters I faced were mechanised Archnids.

Lets explore the first thing first right?
I can't remember experimenting much when I started the game, all I know is I made a character and started walking around town with no money. It was obvious if I needed to buy items I would need gold. So I head out to fight and the first monsters outside of town I fight are three mechanised arachnids, my weapons break and I also die.

I now have to make a new character to continue playing.

The fight with the monsters ordinarily isn't that tough, the only thing is having it in real time and trying to do anything at the ridiculous fight speeds *IS*.

I don't even understand why realtime is included, much less how stupid trying to fight without being able to save.

I fought some of the most annoying and toughest monsters at level 1 or whatever I was, I imagine with multiple players it'd be better because then all of us would have died and I wouldn't have felt so bad.
