Is Arcanum worth playing? (lemm.ee)

I played a little of it when I first got it, but then I heard that it's better to patch it. So I joined the discord for it and figured I'd look into that later. Well later turned into years, eventually I left the discord server to make space for other servers and never did wind up going back to Arcanum.

Now I'm really getting into Fallout thanks to the show, and I've heard many people say that if I like Fallout to try Arcanum.

So I tried to get back into the Discord, however I found I've been banned. Which is odd, it's not like I got into a bad situation with an admin or anything. I pretty much never interacted with anyone. So I can only assume they saw that I was there for so long and assumed I was a bot (Or maybe someone got a DM from me back when my account was hacked), and I can't get a hold of anyone to get back in.

I've heard that if I want to enjoy the game to find the multiverse edition, but apparently that's hosted on the Discord I can't get into.

Is it worth trying to track down an alternative means of playing that patch? And is the game really as good as they say?

Thanks in advance.

Yours Truly, Queen HawlSera

I never beat it, but tlI enjoyed what I did play of it enough that if I could find my copy I might give it another go.

I have a version on Steam, the problem is I can't get into the Discord that has the patches nor can I get up with anyone from the Discord.

Just a note for anyone else, it's also on GOG, DRM-free. $6 currently but it goes on sale.

Do you know how I can get my hands on the Multiverse Edition fan patch? My attempts to contact anyone from the discord about the ban (I'm guessing last time my account got hacked it must have tried pestering someone from that server? That's the leading theory anyway) have been failing, as in, I can't get a hold of anyone.
