The Early Access Chat

The Do's & Dont's of Daggerfall

It's one thing to say you're going to make the "spiritual successor" to Daggerfall, but it's another thing entirely to execute such a vision and bring it into reality. What do you keep from a groundbreaking game that released in 1996? What do you admit to yourself no longer works? This month, Ted, Victor and Michael of Once Lost Games share their insights with us and why The Wayward Realms will fulfill Julian LeFay's vision to create Daggerfall, but better!

Nymphs, Malora & More!

This month, we explore the mysterious Malora and Nymphs—what they are, how they differ, and how their influence shapes life across The Archipelago. We discuss how rarely they're encountered, why players may cross their paths more often, and what happens when their goals clash. From the limits and costs of their powers to the cultural lenses that define them, we examine their impact on politics, faith, and fate. Finally, we explain why some Kickstarter backers can create a Nymph or Malus, the boundaries that keep those creations lore-consistent, and how they'll become canon without disrupting the world's established history.

Deities, Followers & Festivals

Victor and Ben join Joe and discuss the influence deities have on The Archipelago. Who are these goddesses? What are their spheres of influence? Do they actually exist in the game? What does it mean for your gameplay? We'll walk through it all and more, in this month's episode What to join the team? Send your inquiries to PR@OnceLostGames.com
