I'm very positive that some omnipotent force doesn't want me to play Arcanum.
I've tried dozens of times to play but the same thing always happens.
I've tried different characters like the meele fighter, persuasive magician and techie gunslinger

But every time I try to get past the Black Mountain Mines, my computer explodes
I'm serious, it burns up or just crashes so bad I'm not able to start it without formatting the harddrive

Anyway, I've decided to try once more with my old old laptop to play again since this is such a damn good game so far, can't wait for the rest of it (And the music! I love the music)

So wish me luck!
Ha! I can sympathize with that, years ago when I bought this game right after it came out I tried playing through it twice and had a corrupt save at quintara the first time and a broken computer the around the same spot the second.

Years later I tried to play it only to find that i must of misplaced or thrown away the disk and couldn't find it any where so i bought it on ebay. They guy sent me two install disks and no play disk.

When GOG put it up for sale i was so excited and since then i have been able to beat it five or six times. Just keep at it dude its an awesome game.

It IS an awesome game, my favorite GOG that I hadn't already played when it first came out. Any luck getting it to work?
Yea, I didn't do anything but play for the last couple of days and I was (finally) able to finish it.

Awesome game!

Indeed it is! What type of character did you play? I was pure mage with all the summoning spells, plus a familiar, and I maxed out Charisma for the ultimate in party loyalty. I had a small army following me around for most of the game. :-)

And with the replayability factor, I might go Thief or Fighter next time...but I'll have to try the technology for a change.
