Played as half orc.

Full Strength, willpower, dexterity, constitution. Master of Melee, Dodge and backstab.

Finish all missions at Crash Site and go to Shrouded Hills without world map until you killing all wolves.
In Shrouded Hills stole key from Ristezze and stole some money. Buy best equipment at lady outside the town.
Teach Melee and Dodge from guard. Kill the enemies on the bridge, go to the Hardin's Pass. Kill all mobs, get some levelups.
First of all get a full dexterity, then strength, then constitution and willpower. In skills first of all get full melee and dodge, then full backstab. After Hardin's Pass go to Strange Pond an get a mystery ring in the chest. Use ring, when your character fall asleep without fatigue put ring back in the inventory. Wait until fatigue is restore. You forever invisible, but level still too low to fight with strong enemies. Go to The Bangellian Deeps without Virgil or someone else, go alone. Get the Bangelian scourge, not fight with enemies, they probably kill you. Now you get best weapon in Arcanum (except Void weapons). Now get Arcane helm, plate, gloves and rings from "outside the town lady". Get Screaming Shield from men in Roseborough. Get Dorian Amulet in Tarant. Get other armor at your choice.

Levelup that character for a max 50 lvl give your best warrior.

Some troubles: using Bangelian scourge making you angry and after you exit from T'sen-Ang Virgil will be angry too and don't go anyway. There is one way to fix it. Use Arcanum Characer Editor and make your character Good-meter is +100 before you exit from T'sen-Ang.

If you dont like magic armor. With invisible ring go to Tulla. kill guard and go into town. NPC's will hate you, but still should talk to you and do not attack. Go to main building (sorry, forgot how it name), second hall to right, get a mission to get the water stone from student. Kill him and get his armor. You can get another tech armor in Ashbury but this, from student, is much better.

p.s. to restore visibility use ring for 1-2 seconds and get them off. Then you will be visible again.

No worries!

I see you're from Tokelau. I'd never heard of Tokelau before, so I looked it up on wikipedia. That's an interesting place!

Tell me plz way to get warrior that can be better or similar. I mean a warrior with a sword weapon not gun, bow or some throwed weapon.

And why there is no topic about characters saves? Its a very interesting.

That's a bit of an unfair restriction, since to me Throwing is the best attack mechanic Arcanum has to offer. Especially once you have Azram's Star, the best thrown weapon in the game.

But for a Melee powerhouse, here's one build:

1) Choose any race and background that doesn't penalize you in DX (so you can eventually get to 20, which boosts your speed by +5).

2) Recruit Magnus ASAP. Level him up until he can build you a Featherweight Axe. (Or learn the first three ranks of Smithy, and build it yourself.)

3) Learn and apply the Pyrotechnic Axe schematic. (Minor spoiler: it's somewhere in the Tarant sewers.)

4) Acquire (at least) expertise in Backstab so that you can backstab with axes.

5) Profit!

Also consider the following:

1) Recruit Sebastian from the Boil, in order to make you a pair of charged rings. Or learn the first two ranks of Electrical, to make them yourself. Each ring gives you +2 to your DX, if your TA (tech aptitude) is high enough.

Also, Increase your IN to 12, and get yourself Repair expertise. This will allow you to fix your pyrotechnic axe (and armor) after every time you use it on a rock or flame creature, or otherwise damage it. It will also allow you to repair all the burnt and damaged armor from your dead foes (thanks to your flaming axe) before you use or sell them.

2) If you prefer the magic route, teach yourself Agility of Fire (+4 to DX while in force), acquire a pair of Enchanted War Boots (+5 more to speed if your MA is high enough) and eventually find or buy an arcane axe or sword (they're immune to almost all weapon damage).

Learn the Stun spell (in the Mental college) and use on your enemies. Backstabbing a stunned opponent increases your attack damage by A LOT. It also means you don't have to bother with Prowling, invisibility, or wearing only cloth or leather armour because it's quieter.

Also invest in the Temporal college, at least thru Hasten (which doubles your speed). You'll hit your opponents so many times, most of them won't even get the chance to strike back!

3) Follow the Gods Quest to its conclusion. At the end of it, you'll be so ridiculously OP you can take out the final boss with practically your bare hands.

(Edited for clarity and typos.)
