* RealIsBrown: The game is notoriously khaki, and the default gamma setting makes things twice as dark as they are. Switching the game to more readable settings has the unintended effect of making Arcanum look more cheerful.

Added DiffLines:
* AsimovsThreeKindsOfScienceFiction: While science/technology is used to advance the plot/equip the player, the effect on society plays a far greater role: an IndustrialRevolution in what was previously a StandardFantasySetting (elves, dwarves, magic etc.) in MedievalStasis and the upsets this has caused: one kingdom stubbornly clings to magic and knights and is but a shadow of its former glory after a curb-stomp from machine-gun-wielding professional armies, dwarves don't like the idea of machines doing work for them, and of course the magic-using, forest-dwelling elves aren't thrilled that their homes are being clear-cut for coal. Technology doesn't have it entirely its own way, however: Due to science applying the laws of physics and magic breaking them, they can't be used in close proximity to one another.
