So, Frogboy says that there will be a large set of creatures.   But in previous posts he said that it will be rare for players to have control of non-humans/fallen.    So where are all the creatures then?   In dungeons of course (or roaming the land I guess)

having played a bit of X-com I know that there is room for some pretty creative exploration in those battles.  You can walk into alien spaceships and such.   I have no doubt that is how the dungeons in Elemental will work.  

(an important link in this is the discussion of "how dungeons work")

Anyway, I wanted to talk about critters and quests.    In direct relation to dungeons I guess.  I'm sure there are many more ideas from what has already been seen.  (we've got a pretty nasty slug somewhere in the forums, but what else?)

Frogboy mentioned a mode that is basically an extended tactical battle.  I wonder if that is an over world battle, or perhaps a special "dungeon crawl" where you take a few heroes and thrash a dungeon.   In such a case I imagine a dungeon with many quests directly linked to tasks inside the dungeon.  Perhaps a multiplayer option as well where players (each in control of one or two heroes) form a party for the dungeon.
