In the original release of The Traitor Soul, the Town of Grove was an inaccessible realm...unless a single integer in its realms.dat file was changed from 0 to 1. The Steam and GOG.com re-releases avert this, with the Town of Grove accessible without having to modify any of the game's files.
Examination of the races.dat file in The Cursed King shows that a sixth playable race, the Undead, was commented out. This race is fully coded, however, and can be made selectable during normal character creation by de-commenting the correct lines in races.dat using a text editor such as Notepad. Among other things, the Undead share the same passive 5% Magic bonus as Humans, have points in the Spear and Charm Magic skills, and are also resistant to piercing, slashing and ice damage while being vulnerable to crushing damage. Undead also start off with a spear as their equipped weapon and a Summon Spiders Spell in their inventory.
Writing by the Seat of Your Pants: According to Travis Baldtree, who developed the first game, FATE was originally intended to be a one-off game. Due to its success, however, it was decided that sequels would be made that expand on the game's universe, but by then Baldtree had moved on to other projects. As a likely result, while the introduction for Undiscovered Realms makes mention of two other realms, Prometheus and Aquatis, neither realm ever appears in either Undiscovered Realms or The Traitor Soul (and both realms are not even mentioned in the latter), while The Cursed King takes place in a different setting.
