Roughly 80% nitrogren, 20% oxygen, with trace amounts of argon and a prolifera of other gases, such as methane, ozone, and carbon dioxide.

I like the way this volus thinks. i'll have what he's having!

[Nerdage]

Wouldn't that be poisonous to a volus?

Also, stop spamming this poor guy's thread..

Man! I was totally going to write this lol

Blade Runner

The atmosphere in the Dead Space games, more the first than the second though.

I was wondering a while ago how a pre-apocalyptic setting might feel. I know there are plenty of stories where there's something that threatens the world but it's almost always avoidable, with disaster being averted just in time, but what if the disaster were inevitable and unsurvivable, perhaps only months in the future? A meteor strike or something.

It was Fallout NV that got me thinking about it, that series probably has my favourite ambience (A word you could use instead of 'atmosphere' to avoid the jokes) of any setting. I was thinking that you have a reason to be good in Fallout, you're helping rebuild society, but if you remove the long-term consequences (by removing the future all together) what reason do you have to try and be good?

Just some idle musing on my part..

Blade Runner

+1 A bit like Deus Ex, dark and moody.

I'm torn between 2 atmospheres, Planescape Atmosphere and the Jade Empire atmosphere.  Those are 2 I really love getting lost in.

I loved the open ocean atmosphere in Wind Waker.

If I may also add I love it as well.

Oh man same here. The ocean and all it's glory. Fishing up treasure from the sea floor, flooded Hyrule and how it's inhabits adapted, sailing on top of the King. I really liked Wind Waker one of my favorite Zelda's.

I'm going to added Witcher2....now don't hurt me. But the world just feels so alive and fleshed out even random mobs. Having to go to a monsters base to clear it out and destroy it's nest so your no longer basically jumped by 5+ enemies or seeing traps being laid down by npc's who are scared to leave a town. The npc schedules, the gorgeous graphics add to the setting.

Minus Wind Waker looked stupid I agree. But I prefer open spaces, Forests, nice looking cities, ruins, and Water enviroments. Though Sandy regions are nice as well provided anything is there worth seeing. Also Star Destroyers.

Wind Waker did have a ridiculously beautiful atmosphere to it, didn't it?

I'm going to be a bit odd and go with Star Trek: Deep Space Nine after its first, rockiest season. The cast chemistry was stellar and every time they'd show Quark's bar, I practically felt like I was right there with everyone. That's atmosphere.

 probably something along the lines of

2 NH3 + 2 O2 → N2O + 3 H2O

I love the d&d settings myself. Greyhawk, Forgotten Realms, Planescape, Ravenloft, Hollow World...

Also the settings from the old Fighting Fantasy and Sorcery gamebooks by Steve Jackson and Ian Livingstone, Allansia, The Old World and Khul.

[Lord Phoebus]

Cyberpunk. Shame it hasn't had a decent treatment other than Blade Runner and the Matrix (sort of). I liked the Dark Sun setting too, limited resource post-apocalyptic settings are always fun (well for the observer, not the inhabitants).

[Vanaer]

I love the Mass Effect and any other futuristic style of atmosphere. The whole sense of exploration, of discovery and of, ultimately, optimism and expansion; the idea that our minds can overcome any obstacle (in time). It's a sense of the 'old' modernism and optimism we had throughout the 20th century (even with the wars we had, it was a great advancement in human history - going from having no cart at all to a car for all).

For that matter, I like where our technology is heading. I seriously hope we can shrug off the post modernism that has been ravaging our optimism about science and let post modernism stay where it should stay: arts and philosophy.

[Fiery Phoenix]

I like any atmosphere that immerses me and makes me feel part of it. That said, I tend to generally prefer sci-fi atmospheres, such as the Mass Effect universe.

[Seagloom]

Honorable mentions go to the atmosphere of Crossroad Keep in "Neverwinter Nights 2". I liked the music, the greenery and sun, and seeing it grow as my benevolent character's reign over the surrounding lands flourished. It felt homey. Likewise, I enjoyed governing d'Arnise Keep in BG2. Guess I'm a sucker for fixer upper locations and a general feeling of at-home coziness.

The most atmospheric game would be "Icewind Dale". Practically every map in that game tingled my imagination. Pinning down a book is much harder. My criteria when it comes to books is in how effectively an author's writing inspires mental images rather than my appreciation of what those images are. It makes choosing complicated.

Dark and gritty late middle age atmosphere with victorian, renaissance and steampunk elements - I know, sounds strange, to fully understand this world you have to play ''Thief: The metal age'' and ''Thief: The dark project''.

And of course the simple D&D high fantasy setting of Baldurs Gate and Icewind Dale.

[BTG_01]

Hitman: Contracts. There wasn't much of a story there, but the atmosphere was engrossing. It felt almost dream-like.
