My guess, and it's only that, is based on something BW said once when asked about Thaermore. His reply was along the lines of "kind of a little bit." I think that we will probably be in Western Thaermore, but not in the areas we have already seen. Can't wait to find out!

I interpreted that to mean that we're probably going back to the Underground Repository in Book III. (It seems logical - that is just too good a locale, with lots of potential untapped backstory, for it to only show up in Book I...)

While I'd love to go to Western Thaermore, I just don't think it'll show up in Book III (and I can't come up with a storyline reason why we'd go there in Book III...) I think Western Thaermore will have to wait for a fan-designed mod...

I so want to go back to the underground repository. That's got to be my favorite location from both Books so far. I'm hoping for more Dimensional Eyes, too.

I think it would be fun to revisit a few places, and see how they look now after the Taurax juggernaut came through.

+1 for the underground repository!

I'd also love to find out what's on the other side of that gate in Darkford...

Full MODDING support WoohoooOooo!!!

You know what this means? :DDDD Epic Eschalon 3 adventures! Hopefully you developers include a LOAD MOD PACK menu, so we can have Eschalon 3 vanilla world enhanced with the best MODs!
@BasiliskGames WOO!!! Eschalon Book 3 officially modifiable!!! My advice, make it have as many features as possible. I foresee epic mods! :D

Awesome new forum look!

Don't worry, what people are bugging you with regarding new features or if you wanna implement something new.

Consider peoples opinion, but still do largely as you planned.

So, this is where I ask...any chance you go back to the skill discussions we had after book 1 was released where I cam up with skills that interact with other skills to open up new skills?

It's a great idea, with lots of potential, but the more I looked into it the more I realized that the game needs to be built around this to make it work. What I mean is, it would be too destructive to rip out what we have now and build in this new skill system. It's great, and I'd like to talk to you about it for the next game, but it's just too different from our current system to work properly.

Let's get Book III done, and the we can all discuss what we want in the next game engine.

That's cool...I haven't been around as much as I would like. I will tell you I hope that other project is coming along, that one I am really interested in as well.

Email me at the address on my profile.

I wonder why you don't have message ability? I know it's working for others. I'll take a look at your account- maybe something got messed up in the forum update.
