Quite simply: a fantasy adventure with role-play ³ ³ elements developed by Westka Entertainment from Cologne. Or rather a ³ ³ genuine, classical role-play game in a medieval fantasy world? There's ³ ³ never been a game like Arcatera before - so there's really no genre that ³ ³ will fit 100%. ³ ³ ³ ³ One thing's for sure: the time has long since gone when you had to click ³ ³ your way through a prefabricated story-line, constantly using the same ³ ³ dialogs and wading knee-deep through the blood of your enemies. In ³ ³ Arcatera you can do anything - and anything can happen. ³ ³ ³ ³ Behind Arcatera stands the gigantic world of one of Pen&Paper-Game's own, ³ ³ which the makers of Arcatera developed in their youth and which they ³ ³ continue to play. This goes to show how far Arcatera differs from many ³ ³ other products of the kind: as far as the story, the world and the rules ³ ³ are concerned, Arcatera draws on unlimited resources! ³ ³ ³ ³ The first Arcatera game takes place in the city of Senora and the ³ ³ surrounding forest of Kandt. This is a tough area! 80 different ³ ³ Non-Playing-Characters (NPCs) roam around in the city. They all go about ³ ³ their own business, pursuing their own goals in the world. They don't ³ ³ stand around waiting to pounce on you. Instead they live their own lives ³ ³ into which you happen to drift, just as you drift into the adventure ³ ³ itself, which - by hook or by crook - you have to get through. ³ ³ ³ ³ A game for role-play fans at last? ³ ³ Not everything that makes sense in a Pen&Paper role-play game can or ³ ³ should go into a video game. You won't find endless columns of numbers, ³ ³ countless menus and menu items. Instead, clarity and simple, intuitive ³ ³ controls are featured which contain, at the same time, enough complexity ³ ³ and depth to enthral even the most experienced player for hours. ³ ³ ³ ³ Apart from this, and taking the fighting system as an example, the rules ³ ³ for role-play games have been adapted almost one-to-one. Because the ³ ³ developers didn't want the player to bother about every single aspect of ³ ³ the fight in every single round (which would be boring as well), the ³ ³ fighting takes place in delightful real-time. Of course you always have ³ ³ the option to freeze the fight at the touch of a button, and to plan your ³ ³ strategy, proceeding, arming and armouring your party anew at your own ³ ³ discretion. You can always stay in control of every single detail of the ³ ³ action if you want. ³ ³ ³ ³ In Arcatera there is no predefined way you have to go. You can move freely ³ ³ in the city, talk to people or attack them, get imprisoned in the dungeon ³ ³ for doing so, break out again and do countless other things as well. But ³ ³ no matter what you do, it influences the course of the story. If you ³ ³ insult an NPC, he might not be willing to help you later. If you leave ³ ³ your equipment on the street, someone will take it if they can use it. If ³ ³ you do absolutely nothing, the story goes on anyway and you might find ³ ³ yourself in the middle of fast-moving events that you'll have to deal ³ ³ with. ³ ³ ³ ³ There is one more special feature of Arcatera: you can attack anybody, but ³ ³ you don't have to fight anybody. There is always another way to deal with ³ ³ a problem - usually several ways, depending on which PC you control and ³ ³ what his special personal capabilities are. ³ ³ ³ ³ To support this, you receive experience points (which help to improve your ³ ³ party's position) not only for each defeated enemy, but also for clues you ³ ³ have found and conclusions you have drawn. ³ ³ ³ ³ Either way, the game ends after three weeks of in-game time - with one of ³ ³ 10 different possible endings. ³ ³ ³ ³ ³ ³ Features: ³ ³ ~~~~~~~~~ ³ ³ * A fantasy adventure with RPG elements ³ ³ * Choose between 4 characters: play as a fighter, a thief, a monk or a ³ ³ magician ³ ³ * Interact with 80 different Non-Playing-Characters (NPCs) ³ ³ * No predefined way to go. You can move freely and do whatever you want ³ ³ * Get experience points for each defeated enemy and also for each clue ³ ³ found ³ ³ * 10 different possible endings ³ ³ * and much more... ³ ³ ³ ³ ³ ³ Ripped: ³ ³ ~~~~~~~ ³ ³ ³ ³ Just like TLJ (The Longest Journey), this release is above the disk limit ³ ³ (limit is 195 MB and our release is 245 MB) but look at the facts: ³ ³ ³ ³ - The game comes on 3 CD's, which makes +/- 1,8 Gig of datas (= FULL ³ ³ INSTALL) ³ ³ - Our release includes ALL game data's needed to play & all SFX...and is ³ ³ only 245 MB !!! ³ ³ - We've worked more than 2 weeks on the game to rip it under a decent size ³ ³ and I think we've made a pretty good work, especially since we had to ³ ³ edit more than 20,000 files. To give u an exemple, all the backgrounds ³ ³ in the game are in fact SMACKER movies and their size varies from 500 KB ³ ³ to several Megs. Since most of the time, the only 'moving' elements are ³ ³ candles or lights, we have 'frozen' each anim - reducing the total size ³ ³ of the SMK files from 500 Megs to less than 50 Megs :) ³ ³ ³ ³ ³ ³ This is the NPC (Non Playing Characters) ADDON for this cool game. ³ ³ ³ ³ ³ ³ ³ ³ Enjoy this great release and expect much more from WARRIOR soon... ³ ³ ³ ΤΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΎ ΥΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΈ ³ oOo Install Notes oOo ³ ³ ³ ³ Unzip the zips, then Unrar the rars in the dir where u have installed ³ ³ the game (i.e.: D:\ARCATERA) and overwrite all existing files.
