The in-game engine supports six kilometers of space, four above and two below. This allows for sweeping vistas and the ability to go seamlessly from one place to another without having to wait as an area loads. To demonstrate this we transported to a Dwarven town. We were able to see how the game was able to go from an outside environment into an underground setting without having to wait for a new area to load.
