    "Arcanum", rich, vibrant and very interesting.

    I love this universe, its so good.

    It appears there are Greek Mythological allusions in "Arcanum".

    Thanatos for example and so on.

    Come share and post other "Arcanum" allusions to Mythologies, Books, Music, Opera (Example: Richard Wagner's Ring Cycle), and Movies here. Share with us what inspired this beautiful artwork known as "Arcanum".

    :heart:

    The entire game is an allusion, take a look at the unionization movement in 1880s America. The gnomes are the Jews, the Orcs the factory workers. etc.

    As much as I dislike the elves, that is going a little too far ;)

    Then who are we? Dwarves? Surly, hardworking, stocky and hairy. Guess so.
