The game also has many bugs that can break quests or cause other problems - some of which can be solved by installing UAP.

There are multiple endings depending on the player's actions and alignment (combine this with the widely varied starting race/background, and replayability is very high indeed).

The main plot revolves around the player being the sole survivor of a zeppelin crash that was caused by a mysterious assassin. The game also boasts a rich story that is influenced by the player's decisions. Depending on their choices, the player can become good or evil, lawful or chaotic (alignment will also affect NPC responses and in some cases, which companions are willing to join your party). The game also features a morality system that tracks the player's actions and consequences. Technology users can craft and use various gadgets, such as guns, bombs, or automatons. Magic users can cast spells from different schools of magic, such as fire, necromancy, or summoning. You can choose to align with either magic or technology, which affects skills, abilities, and reputation. The game also explores the themes of racism, classism, industrialisation, and religion through its various factions and characters. Each race has its own strengths and weaknesses, and each background has significant bonuses as well as drawbacks. The player can encounter elves, dwarves, orcs, gnomes, vampires, werewolves, and more in different regions of the world, while also having a wide variety of character customisation in terms of starting race/gender etc. The world of Arcanum is unique - it combines elements of steampunk, Victorian era, and high fantasy to create a diverse and immersive environment. However, it has also been criticised for its technical issues, outdated graphics, and unbalanced gameplay. The game has been praised for its original setting, rich story, and complex character creation system.
