Happiness is a warm

The city of Tarant in Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura. Obviously this is all seen through rose-tinted glasses, since I was deeply involved at the community around the game.

On screenshotted maps, Tarant is obviously just the size of a very small town in real life, due to engine and practicality considerations. But it feels big, due to being packed with content. Every single building can be entered in some way and explored, there are a bunch of quest lines contained entirely inside the city, plus the obligatory expansive sewers. There's a surprisingly well-stocked library to explore, just a bunch of things to see and do.

There isn't a bunch of unused inaccessible buildings for set dressing, you can go everywhere if you want (and have enough lockpicks/explosives/magick). It feels more like a real place and not like a half-fake movie set.
