Daggerfall director and Elder Scrolls co-creator Julian LeFay has terminal cancer Anonymous 07/17/2025 (Thu) 12:01:48 Id: a25467 No. 1570544
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwMyPR8Li6k He's stepped away from The Wayward Realms and will spend the rest of his time with his family.
For a small tidbit, this is the man Divine Julianos was named after.
He never got to make his true vision for a grand CRPG. Fuck, man.
Damn, that's fucked RIP, both Julian and OnceLost

>>1570621 He's not dead yet.
>>1570626 He's basically dead though, still sucks regardless

>>1570544 >there is no god >karma is not real >all my heroes are dead or beaten Fuck
>>1570866 You're going to summon niggerpill talking like that. Still, shame about all this, hope he left detailed enough notes and advice to get the game finished. And I hope these last few months or years aren't too painful for him, I've seen some awful cases from family members.
>>1570544 Damn that sucks
>>1570866 It sucks that LeFay has terminal cancer but God is real and he wins in the end.

>>1570866 >there is no god God is real, spirituality is very real, if that wasn't the case you wouldn't even be able to have emotional connections with your pet and vice versa. >karma is not real You're only affected by karma in the next life, you don't know what karma is >all my heroes are dead or beaten Get better heroes or find new ones, better yet, believe in yourself instead of finding strength elsewhere.
>>1571083 What is your fucking deal with AVGN, dude? I'm assuming it's one guy because I've seen a huge increase of Rolfeposting.
>>1571083 >God must be real or you wouldn't love your pet This has got to be the worst argument I've ever heard. You can do better.
>>1570544 (checked) Wasn't aware of the game they were making, but that fucking sucks.
>Start playing DF Unity 2 weeks ago >This happens No...

>>1570544 Very sad news. You have my prayers, Julian.
>>1570544 That's fucking terrible.
By the way, they're asking for positive memories about him and his games in the comments of the announcement. He wants people to "celebrate his life". If you have any nice words, do send them his way. Daggerfall is one of my favourite CRPGs and I'd like to express that of the off chance he reads it.

>>1571118 >You can have emotional connections with animals with a completely different biology >The mere fact that a spiritual being was created by us to explain reality >The mere fact that our brains like to organize chaos >The mere fact that as spirituality dies, both creative endeavors and the fabric of society itself starts breaking at the seams as we are witnessing right now You can feel what you can't see >>1571448 With this character's death, the thread of prophecy is severed.

>be Todd Howard >contribute almost nothing creatively or technically to the TES >become entire face of the franchise >run it into the ground >get to make your dream game >still retain your job after it flops >be Julian LeFay >literally bring TES into existence >found your own company to make a successor to the original games >get cancer There is no justice in this world.
>>1571083 >God is real >if that wasn't the case you wouldn't even be able to have emotional connections with your pet
>>1571596 did he make it though?
>>1570689 It's not necessarily a death sentence >>1570866 There is a God but yes people do not get what they deserve in this life, book of job goes over this very well and it's insanely frustrating
>>1583065 You wouldn’t be able to have an emotional attachment to your pet if neither of you existed, that is correct.
>>1570866 While I agree that karma is false since it is a rationale for India's rigid caste system and gets misused to describe "poetic justice," non-interventionists ancestral gods exist IMO and I can only hope his will enable him to return via bloodlines to help design products that will bring future generations great joy. Perhaps a few of us will be reborn as our own descendants to enjoy them.
Yeah,i know but vax status? Also should use ivermectin or fenbendazole instead the usual chemotherapy. It sucks though...

For anybody who didn't watch the video, LeFay was ill with cancer for many years. The announcement was only made when he was actively dying. That's why it seems there's so little time between his stepping away and his death. RIP Julianos, I loved Daggerfall and am deeply upset he didn't get to refine the concept like he wanted. I hope he knew how much his and his work were beloved.
>>1596318 I'm just glad Altman went to hell before Julianos went to heaven.
>>1570544 Rest In Peace soon. at least now he won't have to experience any more development hell on this vaporware that will definitely never come out. >>1583628 look up what "terminal" means in the context of an illness.
>>1596313 >Gets the gang back together to finally make a Daggerfall sequel he always talked about >Gets Terminal Cancer and passes away >Meanwhile Todd gets to continue making dogshit games Fuck this timeline. RIP.

Todd put out a statement.
>>1596313 >>1597662 Damn, this stings. Sleep tight Julian
>>1597662 I can't hate Todd
>>1597662 >5 generic sentences to describe a founding figure's legacy
>>1597957 Honestly, I'm shocked how muted of a reaction this is getting in the Elder Scrolls community at large, but Bethesda not saying anything when he announced he was terminally ill and putting out lame PR note when he died feels the most distasteful. I wouldn't be surprised if Todd himself had to push for this as he is one of the few people at modern Bethesda who would have known and worked with LeFay personally. LeFay was Bethesda's John Carmack, if didn't leave he probably would have become the CTO. Him getting this half-hearted goodbye feels so cold.
>>1598040 >CTO Also the current CEO of Bethesda is a jew whom stole the company out from under his friend as they were partners. He also married the actress for WonderWoman from the 70's So all in all I ain't shocked fuck Bethesda and it's kikery.
>>1584306 God didnt make shit. My pet was made by its parents, and I was made by my own. Nothing is correct, you're ridiculously wrong.
>>1598040 >how muted of a reaction this is getting in the Elder Scrolls community at large Most TES fans are Xbox faggots who started with Skyrim. Why would they ever know who Julian was?
>>1598132 Altman has been dead for like 2 years anon
>>1598165 This is some "food comes from the grocery store" type logic, kek
>>1598263 That jew is dead? So why is Bethesda still shit?
>>1598602 Because the jew, as a fuck you to a world that hates his people, sold the company to Microsoft.
>>1598165 >least blackpilled atheist
Never played daggerfall. I have a copy of it now but I want to download shit tons of mods for this geimu first and play it through Daggerfall Unity port. Sucks about this guy dying though while Howard continues to run down the entire TES series into the shitter because he is too retarded to mimick the good aspect of oblivion.
Julianos was keeping Ozzy and Hulk Hogan alive.

Something Zoomers won't understand until they're well into their 30s is the feeling of seeing icons like your favorite musicians and game developers fade away. This is the age where you start to realize the terrifying entropy of the universe, and it's make or break time for your soul. Do you seek spirituality or do you succumb to the void? I'm trying to seek spirituality. I really am. But it's hard, and I have doubts. Questions that have no clear answers. And I don't know what to do about them.
>>1603076 Daggerfall was very comfy when I had lots of time alone and not much else to do. When getting lost in a dungeon or exploring around an endless overworld was all I wanted, when a mechanically intriguing magic creation system was all I needed. It seems hard to recommend to people I know these days, but I do, and to their credit at least two have tried it and had fun, but most don't have the time or attention span and I don't blame them. I still go back sometimes. Those old, endless games like Daggerfall and Elite (specifically Frontier Elite II) will always draw me in again and make the hours slip away. I am consoled by the fact that for nearly every old way of doing things there ever was, someone out there will still be doing it that way, and though that includes some horrible things, it also includes things like old cars, old music, and old games.

>>1602529 I'm an early-ish zoomer. This is most likely not representative of the rest of the cohort, but: >I have no "favorite musicians" or follow any musicians. I only have a list of songs that I like that I randomly found from youtube, imageboards and video game OSTs. >I have no "favorite game developers", only a list of games that I like that I found while browsing youtube, imageboards and elsewhere. >I have no "favorite youtubers". I only have the recommendation algorithm and my browser's autocomplete that I forget within a few years when I nuke my data. Whatever I like, I download to my harddrive. >I have no "favorite anime", or gave much of a shit about waifufagging, lolis, 'moe culture' and all the other stuff, but I'm not against it either. I have a list of anime and cartoons that I like, and the only japanese content I care to consume on a semi regular basis is hentai >I find myself having the attention span to read through a tens-of-pages long random blogposts, yet I hesitate from picking up books because "it would take away time from the other things I want to do". >Sometimes I feel like the best thing I can do for myself is lock myself in a room, block out all forms of noise and distractions, and meditate, but haven't brought myself to do it yet because of random excuses. >I have no gf or cared about getting a gf. My hand does the job well enough for me to not care, it seems. I'm probably going to die alone, but for some reason I don't find myself horrified by that realization despite everything and everyone telling me that's a bad thing. Whatever I feel like preserving I download to my computer by whatever means necessary, though I'll admit I didn't have the foresight when I was younger. Despite this, I still have people who will make me sad when they go, mostly from my family and Mr. Bean
>>1603076 I think DF would be easier to recommend had it been properly finished. Though I enjoy the game and beat it 3 or 4 times, it felt incomplete even as a kid. Knowing its history as an adult and how much had to be cut makes a lot of sense. Now, I usually despise the "mods will fix it" crowd, but Daggerfall is 30 years old and has modding scene that radically alters the game. You can recommend it to people as being a "build your own CRPG" thing. >>1603203 >I have no gf or cared about getting a gf. My hand does the job well enough for me to not care, it seems. I'm probably going to die alone, but for some reason I don't find myself horrified by that realization despite everything and everyone telling me that's a bad thing. It's called being acearo, i.e. no sexual or romantic interest. It's not even that uncommon but the idea of being in no relationship was odd for a long time. Roughly 1-1.5% of the population are totally asexual. It's common if not universal in schizoids and those with no friend group (there's a big overlap there), it's poorly studied so why that's the case is unclear.
>>1603252 >It's called being acearo >(1) Stop using made up stupid terms made by people who want to feel unique

>>1583628 You're actually right anon, he could get killed by crooked cops instead before he dies of cancer
>>1603906 Shut up faggot nobody cares about your fake language policy.
>>1598040 >I'm shocked how muted of a reaction this is getting in the Elder Scrolls community at large I wonder which original fanbase is closer to extinction, TES or DnD.
