Arcane
I just launched this game to check a few things, created a party and launched it.
The opening is pure genius, it's concise but really immersive, it shows a deep understanding of narration and role-playing:
Then the decree is slowly burnt into ashes and you enter the Arena.
After those two screens, you're dropped into the arena to witness a powerful mage fighting a group of monsters and amongst them, a Rampager which; spoiler alert; will eat him alive.
He doesn't really eat him alive, probably technical restriction, he just rip him into pieces, had the game been released 5-10 years later, the Rampager would probably have swallowed the mage whole.
And then it's your turn... Gulp!
I don't remember any opening so good and immersive.
Wizardry 8 is quite interesting, your spaceship is shot down and you're stranded on unknown shore with limited resources but it's nothing like Dark Sun: Shattered Lands.
Any other opening this good?
Or just remotely interesting?
