I wonder if we have to fight Lorcan at some point and have to free the nevaran hero? That would be cool.

Revenant? Interesting. That will be one to look at. I'm still partial to the Poet, though ;)

As for the Team Battle... Only the HoF hero? So what does that tell us?

There are no team battles in the third book. A couple were planned, but for narrative and space reasons (and the fact that most of the end battles in the book are pretty epic anyway) there didn't seem much need for them. However, I'll probably write one as bonus content, which players have the option of including in their playthrough. You would use your HoF hero, yes ;)

Just curious. What hero will we be using in team battles for the next book? Do we get a choice or is it our hof hero?

Looking good!

Keen to see what the next Mage career will be (the Mage path is my favourite)!

I think I will have to demand that Book 3 is published this week. If my demand is not met I will have to send my Necro and his shady mates over to the Gollancz offices to have a persuasive discussion.

Seriously though - it really is looking good.

The strongest predators. The harshest terrain. For a trapper that's their paradise...

Interesting. Almost like the Necromancer from DQ1. Or even the Necromancers and ... the banshees (?) from WoW. I think it's something else. The ghost women of the Vykrul from Wrath of the Lich King.

In any case, should be fun.

Yes, Skald was a consideration but based on the context of the character you learn the career from (who isn't technically from the "north"), the bard seemed to make more sense.

Looks good. I'm surprised with the northern flavour of this book that it wasn't something like a "skald" instead, but I love any type of bard... especially when they dual class to dashing swordsman ;)

The wait is as torturous as deciding what to play. I was sure I was going to play Shaman first but now I've read about these were beasts.... sounds just too awesome. I don't know!

Not sure if you meant that as a question. In DQ3 there are four warrior, four rogue and four mage careers. That's one less for each path, compared to the other books. There are only two acts in DQ3 so more careers would have been a bit much!

Yes, plenty of rare items in the book! Lots to collect. ;)

It's hard to say at this point. Obviously, I'd love to have some sort of promo set and possibly make it a bit easier to get hold of (selling through eBay for example). I'll certainly keep you updated nearer the time.

I wish it was up to me, but sadly have no control over release date. If it makes you feel happy, have seen the awesome colour and B/W artwork... Oh yes, it will be worth the wait.

You're right that I have stayed clear of generic "thief" style classes (do love 'em though) but I do hope that I have brought a different flavour (and set of strategies) to the three paths this time around - including rogue. I think players/readers will be more surprised with what is in store. I guess I have to strive with each book to keep it feeling new and entertaining!

Thief class was in book 2 so expected a change of pace and abilities. Good to know we got some different stuff to look forward to. I like to play rogue. Then mage. Then warror. Lol

I always base the careers on the environment and setting. The rogue careers are not really stealth-based this time around. Such a class wouldn't survive for long in the harsh and unrelenting environment of the north. Expect more rugged careers for warrior, rogue and mage. This is DQ hardcore...

Neat! I'm hoping for more of a thief style of character in book 3. The reaver looks more warrior than a rogue. I prefer to play a sneaky type.
