DQ6 Progress: Post 2 + Book Plug

So i'm up to about 11 hours clocked in DQ6 and I have mixed feelings thus far. The story has progressed forward a little bit and provided me a little bit of information as to one of the major plot elements, but I'm a little disappointed in how things turned out:

So as it turns out the alternate world is a "dream world." I was thinking it might be some kind of time travel or something like that, but I was dead wrong. I'm OK with that, but I don't entirely like how they did the whole "Hey thanks for killing that dread fiend but btw you're still asleep so why don't you go tool around the world for a bit and see if you can find the real you kthx". I didn't think that defeating Murdaw that quickly in the game would be the end (and perhaps I haven't seen the last of him yet) but I just wasn't crazy about that plot turn.

Regardless I will continue to soldier on as I'm still having a pretty good time destroying cute anime monsters and that's all that matters. There's also a class system that I have just scratched the surface of, but I am a huge fan of those so I hope to dive into that a bit more in the next few weeks.

While I'm writing here I just finished a pretty darn good book that I highly recommend everyone give a read. "No Easy Day" by Mark Owen is an account of the mission that killed Osama bin Laden and also some good insight into the life of a US Navy Seal. I recommend anyone interested in how that whole thing went down check it out and you will not be disappointed.
