Arcanum - In Memoriam

A rare out-take from the Arcanum soundtrack.

This was composed by Ben Houge and was available to download for free from a website called RPGdot which no longer exists. So I thought I'd upload it here.

mp3 download can be found here:

Arcanum...The game of games

[psychologicalshock]

Wow I never heard this before, I am playing Arcanum now and wow... The music in the game already leaves a permanent impression. Troika was definitely something... They seemed to take games from some form of wasting time to an art.

In the past, the main story and sidequests that were connected to the story were whats important. Today sidequests like bring the woodcutter 5 fish take priority over main plot :(

There are just too many RPGs that without sidequests take like 5 hours + loading to complete, and on sidequests you spend 60% of time exploring, 30% fighting, 2% talking, 8% trying to find the friggin chest in the middle of butthole of a dark dungeon :@:@:@

Oh wow. Thank you so much for this! I'd never heard this before.

Thank you to share this. ^^

For anyone wondering why "In Memoriam" wasn´t in-game, it is because it was recorded after Troika disbanded by the same artist who created the original soundtrack. This is yet another sign, how serious "art-thing" Arcanum was. Please, remember the good times with this game whenever you hear this beatiful for the sake of all the people who brought it to us.

One of the best games I've played next to Fallout 1 & 2 and Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines. Troika really put their souls into gaming as we can see with most of the crew did with Fallout NV.

@ArcologyDesigns yeah today is all about the pardon my french GUSPHIX OMHS LORDAY THER SO WEBH;;;LLL

sadly no one gives a shit about script voice acting and such nowadays Bethesda only has like 3 voice actors for the elder scrolls.

@psychologicalshock I'm not sure why Troika vanished into obscurity; they've been replaced by mass gaming with no plot (literally) like COD2 and COD: Black Ops. Pretty sad considering now we're far less likely to see games with a plot and level of character development of this caliber.

Arcanum was definitely and always will be in my top list of games. The game was awesome, the music, the storyline, characters and hell everything about it was great. It really is a shame, Troika's no longer around, I'd love to see a sequel.
