Myth: The Fallen Lords - Story/Journal

All Journal entries and cinematics from the game.
The Soulblighter image from the thumbnail I made it myself.
Here's a full video on it:
• SOULBLIGHTER
The game is still being updated to this date by Project Magma:

Extra imagery and info that is not in the journals can be found here:

If you want more content like Myth, I recommend that you read the Black Company series of books. The story of Myth is heavily inspired on it, "like REALLY inspired".
I also want to thank the designers, story tellers, musicians and all other developers at Bungie for this masterpiece.

The quality of writing in journals and cutscenes is really something special. I can not recall that we had something approaching this level in the last decade.

I grew up playing these with my father, and we still occasionally play them. I'm 32 now, and have been playing since I was about 8-9.

[@alf_duc]

I was born the same year it came out. I was introduced to it by my father too when I was little. Always loved blowing stuff up!

[@mr.anonymous6428]

You're about the same age as me. My older brother and I used to play it, even when the only version we had was the demo. I was about the same age.

[@mikelightowler5220]

I used to play with my best friend all the time. Back when you could sign into a server with dial up and not lag out instantly. Those were the days. I envy that your father played these with you.

[@SpideruManu]

This game needs a remake. One of the finest of all times. I got so attached to every soldier that I've named. To see them survive the battles, get promoted and evolve. This was a unique experience. Also a piece of my childhood.

[@Kubyashi]

The narration in this, and Soulblighter was amazing. Get into The Black Company series if this is your jam!

[@alf_duc]

I've already read all the books!

[@jbol2454]

@@alf_duc How do they compare to Myth the game? Are they very similar?

[@alf_duc]

@@jbol2454 Myth has copied a bunch of different story "systems" like the way they name places and characters, the way they describe some events, etc. There's also "The nine" which is a reference to "The Eighteen", in the fourth book there is a group of warriors that are elected in a similar fashion as the Heron Guard. And there is a character that appears in the third book called Murgen, just like one of the Nine. But overall the clear inspiration is the tone and dark fantasy style.

[@jbol2454]

@@alf_duc Thanks for the reply. But the general world and story is it that of the Black Company?

[@alf_duc]

@@jbol2454 No it's not, it's unrelated.

[@SirFactorOfX]

If Myth ever gets a remaster, it better have 2D animated cutscenes in it. that was one of the things that made it so memorable. 3D CGI cutscenes are cool and all, but these 2D cartoon interludes feel like a personalized stamp, letting you know just how truly unique Myth really is.

[@idkwmytuni]

Thanks for this. This journal narration always made an impact on me and as a teen I'd sleep to it. Then that video got taken down ): Myth is so underrated

[@fitzwaren]

hello there !

[@Dessicator1]

A+ for adding that bit of game play footage at the end.

[@TheGosslings]

One of the top ten greatest games ever made. It was a heavy inspiration for my “Heavenly Realms” series of angelic war fiction. Loved the story, music, mystery, fan theories, mythos and cell-shaded cutscenes of Myth: TFL. Myth II had some awesome additions but Myth I was always a superior IP for its originality. And yes, The Chronicles of the Black Company by Glen Cook IS amazing and worth reading, especially for its inspirational purposes behind this unsung hero of the golden age of PC gaming.

[@bogdanzytka8678]

Still one of the best games ever. Great story. Full immerssion. You never feel that you are winning. Insane level of skill required on higher difficulty levels. Loved every bit of it

Dumb enough to spend days recording the entire game, dumb enough to beat it on Legendary for the second time.

[@idkwmytuni]

Bro I fight for my fucking life on *normal* difficulty and its been that way for like 15 years lmao

[@theeatherlash69]

@@idkwmytuni To beat legendary... you aren't really playing the game anymore. You're aware of where all the script triggers are, where enemies teleport in, and you basically pre-prepare ambushes for every single encounter, and game the system. It's.. also an almost complete non-use of melee units except for their movement speed to scare away ghuls and to bait slow enemies into following you. Berserks basically just.. send one guy forward so all the soulless fire at them and run circles, and they never change targets as dwarves come in and blow everything away. It's... gamey, and weird, but Myth's AI isn't great -- it's that the Myth mission designers were just.. gods of planning and understanding how most users would approach the game.. but once you understand the limitations of the script language.. it stops being fun outside multiplayer.. AND THE FRIGGIN' AMAZING JOURNAL ENTRIES!!

[@alf_duc]

Well actually I don't really know where do they spawn or when the scripts trigger. However it is true how frustrating it is to have your melee units just sit in one place "just in case". Specially in Myth II where Heron Guards are supposed to be super badass against Myrkridia, but in reality they get destroyed in seconds. However I think the true problem is that the whole game is designed around the fact that you can save at any time. And because of that there's a lot of bs stuff that occurs because the developers though "well you can just save". And because of that I have to save every 20 seconds like a maniac.

[@idkwmytuni]

​@@alf_duc I save after every single encounter that goes my way haha

[@followingtheroe1952]

​@@alf_duc i think they intended Legendary to be a co-op difficulty. Thats how alot of devs thought of "difficulty" by this time

[@SupernaturalsDark]

Halo infinite in its desperate attempt to be simply in simple trump terms as "good" has made a "Balor" suit eye roll "good" has not been for many many years wether a video game story animation or whatever concept... everything....2023 sucks the big one...the year this game Myth TFL game came out....nuff said....
