The Biggest Game Project on this Planet

Phony is from Tetrisphere, you know?

And on to Eldorado Gate Volume 3 it is!
Finished Volume 2 today, and started working on 3. This particular volume has only two chapters, and it seems only one new character.

Volume two started with Chapter Four, revolving around Bud, the young Beast/Human/Thing who went out on a quest to defend his tribe from the Hunters. He found some kind of magic armor to aid him in his quest, but it ended up messing with his consciousness and the chapter ended with him disappearing. I don't know yet if he is one of our Twelve.

The 5th Chapter was about Elishin, the dandy Swordsman and quite the ladiesman. Nothing too interesting.

The 6th Chapter was about the Golem called Ein, who recognises Gomez as his master (up till now, Gomez has been the only recurring character, acting as a kind of spokesman for the Fated Twelve) and helps him in his quest to cure the sickness of Bantross, the Guide of the Unholy Band of Twelve.

Volume 3 starts with Chapter 7, where Gomez, Ein, Elishin and Radia are sent out to fetch Kanan, who has been summoned by a mysterious being, offering her her voice, hearing and vision back, which she lost after using the powers of a set of mysterious masks. So, like I said, no new character it seems, and the first quest I have to do with nothing but old characters. Seems interesting.




On the Simian front, I'm currently at around 67% in DK64, and I am now starting to feel what seems to be the general consensus on this game: It's too friggin' big.
There definitely is such a thing as "too much of a good thing". The levels are HUGE and you have to do a lot of walking back and forth if you want to find everything.
Banjo Tooie suffered from the same thing actually. Too Big Levels and Too many wide open areas make Jack a very frustrated and tired Boy.
Only two more levels to go though. I'm sure I'll pull through.
