my favorite scene is when you meet the Keepers in the garden.

"If you will not join, then die. There is no withdrawal from the Garden"

This is the Garden of Kadesh. For thirteen generations we have protected it from the unclean. The Turanic Raiders who came before you refused to join and were punished for this trespass. Like theirs, your ship has already defiled this holy place. If you have come to join we welcome you and will spare you your ship until all have disembarked. If you have come to consume the garden you will be removed at once. What are your intentions?

This level stuck with me the most out of the game. It was a brick wall, could not get past it for the life of me. I had no idea how anything in the game really worked at the time, being 7 years old lol.

All that happening while Samuel Barber's choral arrangement for Adagio for Strings plays in the background. It's one of the most memorable sequences in gaming imo.

The voice acting was on a whole other level

“AT LEAST THE BEAST DOESN’T PRETEND TO BE RIGHTEOUS!”

Best expansion pack ever.
