The Forgotten City (Video Game)	comment	The Forgotten City refers to both a quest mod for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim that was released in October 2015, and a remake of the mod as a standalone game that was released in July 2021. Both games have a similar premise; a woman asks you to investigate the ruins of an ancient city in order to find another explorer who ventured into the area but didn't return. You quickly find their remains inside, but visibly aged, and with a cryptic suicide note advising that they spent a lifetime trying to fix things, but without success.Further investigation reveals a strange portal that takes you back in time to the city's heyday, whereupon the leader of the city advises you that the residents are unable to leave, and are subject to a strange curse which dictates that if one person sins, they all will be slain, and thus he seeks your help in finding a way to break this cycle and return you to your world...

The Forgotten City (Video Game) / int_11bc87bc	comment	Comic-Book Fantasy Casting: invoked Jarl Metellus' face and voice seem to be based on Patrick Stewart. Ironic, given that Stewart isn't known for playing villains, which would make this a meta-example of Playing Against Type.

Your typical choices are either for Al or Sentilla but you can also do it for Duli if you spoke with him... or if enough people around the city have cursed at you, you get an option to avert this trope entirely and instead say the Latin equivalent of "Die, motherfucker!" note The ingame line is "Die, genetricem fututor."

The Forgotten City (Video Game) / int_1c2b6ac8	comment	Soft Water: The sole entrance to the Forgotten City is a long drop down a vertical pipe where you ultimately fall into a deep bathhouse pool. It's hard to gauge the exact distance you fall, but the pool is deep enough and the drop just barely "short" enough that this might be plausible. At another point in the game, you can get into a locked villa by jumping into the courtyard pool from a high cliff above it. This is very much only survivable by divine intervention (which you seem to have), as the fall is too high to be plausibly survivable, the pool is too shallow to safely stop a fall from that height, and another character who attempts the jump ends up dying spectacularly and leaving an impressive crater inside said pool.

The Forgotten City (Video Game) / int_20f689e9	comment	Adaptational Villainy: The barkeep Aurelia gets this treatment compared to the original mod's Rastasia. Whereas Rastasia was a gossipy but harmless flirter, Aurelia is a gossipy flirt who's far more malicious, running a scam where she offers a way out of the city for a thousand denarii, only for that way out to be a dosage of hemlock. She also encourages those who can't afford such to put themselves into debt-bondage with Malleolus, who's in on the scheme with her.

Except for the "Looter" party, who were the original people responsible for triggering it. It was, from that point on, always a paragon or a hero who cared enough to Set Right What Once Went Wrong that, in an attempt to save them, instead killed them all. Over. And over. And over.

Digging a little deeper reveals that that his rule of the city basically means letting himself and his friends (mainly Imperials) enjoy the pleasure of the Citadel while the rest of the city slaves away to survive. Dig even deeper and you'll learn he's a vile rapist who breaks the Dwarves' Law on the regular thanks to a loophole he has discovered.

With only 10 bullets in the magazine and no way to obtain more, it doesn't carry nearly enough ammo to fight your way through the Palace, and because of the Golden Rule violence won't really solve any of your other problems. About the only thing it's good for is speedrunning the bad ending by letting you kill Sentius immediately as soon as you arrive in the past, and killing the lone Peeled Statue in the cistern early.

This becomes very apparent once you've walked around the city a bit and chatted with everyone. In the good ending however, this proves false and the city becomes a much more pleasant place to live. This is also the core belief of The Arbiter - that people are naturally inclined to commit evil deeds and the Dwarves' Law is the only way to maintain a peaceful order.

The inevitability of it drove Al Worth to suicide after several years trying to break the cycle. Barring any changes the player makes themselves, the event which breaks the Rule is Malleolus, upon winning the election and becoming new magistrate, immediately abusing his power to have Sentius executed. He does the same if you change the outcome such that Sentius wins. If you manage to get Galerius elected magistrate, Malleolus stays his hand — but Duli steals an item from the market within moments of his release, just as Sentius feared he would.

That said, lying all the time will also ruin things for everyone. On the whole, being honest is generally the best policy, with the exceptions tending to be rare and fairly obvious (such as telling a killer where his intended victim is).
