It helps that you never even heard of Arx Fatalis and are probably a waifufag.

nothing went right and neither Arx or DM ever got a sequel. Fuck this earth

Not much since it sold like shit and they had to resort to portwhoring to keep the lights on.

It's a buggy mess at high resolutions

the atmosphere, enemies and combat

1. Kicking.
2. Magic could be used to manipulate and alter the environment in meaningful ways.
3. Good level design.

DM is the sequel to Arx

Hidden secrets that feel rewarding
Combat/mechanics of gameplay including physics
Decent story/characters

Also helps that physics fuckery is the strongest tool you have in your arsenal, so you get to see goofy shenanigans happen very often.

>world is fucked, you keep your demon waifu AND you reign in Sheogh with dad. Also, he tells her that "all of Hell shall echo with her screams of devotion", presumably because of your dick

Yeah, I'm, like, totally torn between the different possible endings, guys.

>spiders
>not ghouls

Good game bump

amazing how the evil ending is the best

Nope, it was supposed to be until Ubishit forced the M&M license on the project restricting any dev freedom.
I'd kill for a full fledged Arx2 with DM melee mechanics but the casting from the first game.
