The world of Arx is wrought with turmoil, brought to the brink of destruction by a violent war. The sun has disappeared from overhead to shroud the world in eternal darkness forcing communities to begin inhabiting the underground mines. But as food and drink becomes scarce, the wars become even more violent as each race struggles for survival.
You are plugged into this world of terror and must use bravery and cunning to uncover the long hidden secret of Arx. As your epic quest unfolds you will explore ancient temples, bustling cities and abandoned mines, unearth legendary artefacts and face terrifying foes.
Arx Fatalis features:
Lots of quest and sub-quest to complete; innovative gesture-casting system with 50 powerful spells based upon 20 runes; wield over 20 crushingly powerful weapons; no two games are ever the same: storyline and events change according to your actions; hundreds of characters to befriend or murder and massive underground world to discover and explore.

Why buy on GOG.COM?
DRM FREE. No activation or online connection required to play.
All the reviews I read before buying Arx Fatalis said it was like Morrowind just with worse voice acting, but it is much more than just bad voice acting. The game overall feels dry and boring. Pull out your old Morrowind disk and play it again instead.
So, 15 years ago, I started playing this game, loved it, played it for days.
Then, one day, completely unintentionally with and AOE spell I hit a small, cute dog in the game.
Dog got angry and started chasing and biting me.
It was the cutest dog I've ever seen in a video game and I could not bear to hut him, let alone kill him.
So I kept running away but he was constantly following me.
He did not do much damage, but just could not stop following me.
I tried to reload my latest save game, but he was still there.
No matter what I did he kept following me.
My heart was breaking at the very thought of hurting him.
So I stopped playing the game and never got back to finishing it.
True story.
Also, I hate Arkane Studios because all of their games are rip-offs from Looking Glass
Steam has Arx Fatalis for $4.99. Granted, it has no DRM here as well as the rest of the goodies... but it's only fair to point out that it's currently $5 more from GOG.
