How can you willfuly romance anyone in BG2? All the romanceable character portraits are genuinly hideous.

It becomes terribly apparent after repeated playthroughs. The game really is not well thought out at all.

Id say tech is good in the endgame but guns only become decent, whilst melee can be turned broken instantly if you know what you are doing and magic is...well, what it is.
>effort
More like tedium. Techie gameplay in Arcanum consists of walking out of sight radius of a shop and then waiting for a day to force them to restock. Repeat for fucking ages because there are way too many rare crafting elements and atrocious schematics that produce worthless gear.

Let's throw another corpse on the pyre.
99% of the damage you will recive in this game is physical. What if I told you it is possible to get 95% physical damage resistance on level 2 as a Half Ogre?
>pick the thick hide background or whatever the hell its called. Half ogres have a natural 10% damage resistance and this gives you an additional 10% at the cost of beauty, a worthless stat
>optionaly abuse Ristezze for infinite money so you can buy the things you need later
>as soon as you are out of Shrouded Hills go to Blackroot
>use the fate point you gained from the bridge to pickpocket the Chapeu that gives you +20% damage resistance from the old lady who gives you the quest to check on her son, then travel to Tarrant. You could also just kill her as well.
>we are now at 40% damage reduction naked and with a hat
>go to a blacksmith and force him to restock until you get some gloves/boots and plate armor. Do note that this will take a long time.
>you can now run around the BMC whilst taking like 3 damage per hit. You are more likely to be fatigued out by attacks than killed for the rest of the game.
One may ask why go for a half ogre with tough hide instead of a human with escaped lunatic -- the latter gives 5 % more DR than ogre+hide. Its because the armor for the larger races that only half ogres can wear has more damage reduction.

>those megaman edits

They remind me times I want forget, the sprite comics age. It was never good
