Albion Wiki
(I've changed the trivia info about the prosthetic arm, as the game never outright states he has a bionic arm, and it has been replaced by a normal looking arm in the final version of the game. You may remove the additional speculation if you wish....)

Also there are no mentions or references to it in the game except a single line, when Tom asks Rainer about his injuries after the shuttle crash, to which Rainer replies that Tom has only had some broken bones, burns and possible minor injuries, as well having hit his head, finishing the dialogue with "Your prosthesis is operational." Given that Tom only thanks him for the information and nothing is ever mentioned or said about it again, not even what was the prosthetic for (since without having known about the early version and promotional materials, the player wouldn't know), seems to imply that he was originally supposed to have had the prosthetic arm from the start of the gameand Rainer was only commenting about its functionality after the accident, as there is no one who would've been able to create the bionic arm for him (and mostly likely attach it as well) after the crash. Therefore it seems the oneliner is a leftover from the early version of the game and the developers just forgot to delete it.

Tom Driscoll

Tom is a pilot from the Toronto and the main character of game. Tom's friends among the crew include Joe Bernard, whom he knew before the Toronto's launch, and Christine Mocci, his girlfriend.

When the ship reached Nugget, his task was to take a shuttle to an exploratory flight with Inspector Beegle, but his death from an explosion in the COM room made Rainer Hofstedt be selected to fly with Tom instead.

After their departure from the Toronto, Tom and Rainer witness their shuttle malfunction and only Tom's piloting skills save them from crashing violently to the planet. After seeing the thriving life of Albion, Tom sets out to find the ship and stop it from destroying the planet.

He has no particular special abilities, aside from the ability to use most human-made equipment in the game, whether it be made by Celts or by Terrans, but he has and develops a decent overall combat skill.

Trivia

  • In an early version of the game, Tom was intended to have a visible prosthetic left arm, as evident from early screenshots and promotional material. In the final version of the game, no evidence of this is present apart from a single dialogue line[1], so it is unknown whether this idea has been scrapped from the game entirely and the dialogue line was simply an oversight, or if the arm is actually prosthetic but looking like a normal human arm.
