About this mod

Falagar is a huge mod (+40h) that aims at bringing the player an actual adventure, a journey, comparable to good old games like the Might and Magic series or Wizardry. Party character development in various new ways, exploration of the vast world and discovering of the many secrets which grant much needed bonuses, are at the core of this mod.

Version 1.36 is now live [Jul 2020]
See the download section to give it a try.


While there is combat in Falagar, it is not a death simulator or an arena where one is forced into a tight area to fight for their life. Most of the traps are positioned in a fair manner and there are not many pitfalls around. There are, of course, riddles and mysteries to unfold, many of the secrets are optional and the required ones should not be too difficult. In addition to this, you will not find an intense "story" with plenty of notes or even dialogue. Progress by playing, discover new areas and make sure you grab the elemental spheres dropped by the guardians of the dragonrider.
Below, I will briefly address some of the features of the mod.

Feedback is always welcome, as are requests for help or bug reports. Hope you enjoy the mod and have fun playing. Do not forget to endorse the mod after you got a first impression and enjoyed it.
