I am playing Arx Fatalis for the first time and so far i like what i see. I haven't gotten far yet but so far so good. At the moment [SPOILER]i have made the Goblin King sick.[/SPOILER] I like that kind of gameplay.... :ebil:
The way of how you cast a spell was something to get used too but is allright when you get the hang of it, i think.
The conversations between the goblins themself are very funny and how they react on humans is hilarious.
Anyway, back to the game...

Yeah, I really dug the magic system too. The actual implementation made trying to be a combat mage a little tough, but the fact that they came up with some outside-the-box thinking so that the spells weren't just another plasma gun or something was great. I wish more developers tried new stuff with magic systems.
Glad you're liking the gameplay, you're in store for more treats to come.

To everyone who says playing as a mage is difficult, pressing ctrl(?) while casting stores the spells so that you can use them later by pressing numbers 1-3.
At first, trying to make your way out of the goblin prisons may be hard (be sure to get the projectile rune from the armory close to the cells were the goblin is held), but once you learn how to cast fireball it gets a lot easier. A good mage can kill ylsids and lichs with a single fireball and if your stats aren't high enough to wear some of the better weapons and armor, simply cast bless. The food creating spell is useful too.
