Song by Ashbury called The Warning hopefully some arcanum fans will find interest as the song is from 1983 and speaks of the void, going backing to the mountains from which he had begun and the townhall meeting in ashbury. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4Odlp8Gvso
Interesting find, very fitting to Arcanum's plot, but then again Arcanum is basic high fantasy (even if it has advanced by few centuries) and bands like that are influenced by said fantasy, so could be coincidence, but i'd say it's not. :thumbup:
I think it begs the question is the world of arcanum bigger than we are supposed to be seeing it in the context of game, such as the townhall meeting in ashbury was there supposed to be more people than we were seeing on screen etc.
Re: It is much bigger and this is implied in dialogue, newspapers etc. This thing is called "game logic" and reasons for it are both technical and labor limitations. Making things very big is time consuming and takes too much work. This the same reason why towns and vaults in Fallout (or any game) are so small.
