It wasn’t super meaningful from a narrative perspective, but no one who played Unreal when it was new is likely to forget that first step off the Vortex Riker onto Na Pali.

To be honest, that game plus UT2003/04 had some of the best graphics in the business, from both the technical and design standpoints.
