Product Reviews

Rating: 5 StarsDoesn't leave many stones to be unturned...

I found this guide extremely helpful!! Order it from "GoodMan Books" for a more reasonable price of $18 dollars used. It is beyond me why the seller here is asking such an outrageous price!!

Rating: 5 StarsGreat strategy guide -- lots of details!

Given the physical limits of publishing in paper vs. digital, this strategy guide is pretty remarkable. You get 200+ pages of information on ever character, item, spell, ability, equipment, and location in the game.

Descriptions of items & quests are very brief at times, but that's only because they have to be in order to fit all the information in this book.

The walkthrough is solid, but is, strangely, only about 10-15% of the guide! Text / pictures are all in grayscale (no glossy color pages), but it's not a big deal.

For what it is, this guide is top-notch and worth a buy if you enjoy a paper guide vs. the ones available on the web.

Rating: 5 StarsA must for Arcanum players

Tough to play the game without this guide. Great breakdown of the character builds and how to proceed on each quest.

Rating: 5 StarsIF you want to beat the game, you need the book!

This game is great, and is filled with many secrets. With the book, all the hard problems are solved. Most of the towns are huge and hard to navigate, but the book solves that by showing you all the maps. Some of the quests get confusing at times, but the book always tells you what to do. I tried many times to beat this game without the book, and failed. I recommend this book to anyone who buys the game.
