In Arx Fatalis, you play as a character who's lost his memory and awakens in a small cell. That's got to be the number-one most popular way for a computer role-playing game to start out, but the actual setting of the game is quite a bit more interesting. Arx Fatalis takes place in a world where the sun has fizzled out and civilization has picked up and moved beneath the surface of the earth, since it's warmer down there. This means you won't be seeing much in the way of blue skies or colorful songbirds during your stay in Arx Fatalis, but will instead be seeing plenty of caverns, dungeons, tunnels, and such.
