Arx Fatalis was being made by Arcane Studios who wanted it to be the third installment but they couldn't obtain the rights and thus called it Arx Fatalis and developed a few things differently but it matches Ultima Underworld in a lot of things.
I never knew that! It's only $5.99 on gog.com, I'll have to check it out.
And let me tell you. It has the best shock in gaming history, you may not experience it. I'd say that 70% of the people who have played Arx probably wouldn't. It involves a certain NPC...when I saw the guy alive, I was shocked and even my character was shocked and shouted his name in surprise.
Oh and if you meet Carlo, tell him I said hello.
"Get this door broken down."
"No Am Shagar, no news."
"I have already told you everything I know about the rebels."He's funny unintentionally.
Choices and actions have consequences in Arx and many are unexpected. Arx was truly ahead of its' time and love for it has inspired fans to even create a prequel:
