I figure it's probably a good idea to get in as much progress as I can manage before Skyward Sword (not Skyrim - I don't have much interest in The Elder Scrolls at the moment) devours what little free time I have left, so how about some details about the first dungeon of Act III? I'll be as non-spoilery as possible, mostly because I don't want to reveal what this dungeon exactly is (like that one dungeon from Act II).

First off, the dungeon is divided into three parts: Caves leading to its entrance, the main dungeon itself, and, for lack of a better term, the "catacombs." The first two parts are mapped and being populated by events, and the third is slowly being put together. That third part is the most unusual of the three, since that section will focus entirely on story, with no combat until the very end. There will be seven chambers to go through, one introducing the ideas of that part of the dungeon, and then one for each character (you'll only be able to see four of these rooms, however, since you have to have that character in the party to reach that room), and each character's chamber will delve deep into their psyches, possibly deeper than you want to go, bringing their personal issues and backstories to the surface. In one instance, the character will have to grapple with things even they aren't aware of. What goes on in the chambers will eventually tie into each character's side quest later on.

Also, once you reach the dungeon proper, head in the "wrong" direction for a little cameo appearance. It'll also get you a rare piece of equipment (there's actually just the one - you'll see once you get it).

On a more serious note, and to reveal one more little detail, the Taluka Book 1 remake is pretty much canned at this point. After Masks of the Elders, I don't think I'll realistically be able to fit RPGMaking for BZPower into my schedule, especially not remaking the same game I've remade way too many times before... and as part of this, I've re-appropriated one of the boss ideas from Taluka Book 1 Gold into Masks of the Elders as the boss of the second dungeon of Act III. Which one is it? Well, it's one of the main dungeon bosses, from the first half of the game, but past that, I won't say what it is.

And with that, happy Thanksgiving (for those who celebrate it) and happy questing (for those in Skyloft or wherever you are fighting evil).
