Playing Arcanum: Of Steamworks And Magick Obscura. It's brilliant. You'd think there'd be a lot more steampunk RPGs. It plays like a cross between Diablo and Baldur's Gate, and the fantasy-world-meets-industrial-revolution theme works perfectly.
The interface is a bit clunky, but I'm prepared to put up with that to play as a Victorian businessman with a finely waxed moustache, raised by snake handlers and a training Professor in Explosives, Electrics and Chemistry. I shoot people with a custom flintlock pistol and lob Molotov Cocktails I made out of half-bottles of wine from the trash and some old petrol.
And it spells 'Magick' with a 'K', for Christ's sake.
