The second question was about the favorite characters of both authors. DeFilippis immediately made the name of Vaea, the thieving elf who accompanies the knight Ser Aaron Hawthorne everywhereWhile Weir preferred Francesca, who initially presented herself as an obstacle to the protagonists, it turned out that she was a great character in Blue Wraith.
The third point focused on the Dark Fortress miniseries, which Weir himself summarized without major spoilers: “Volume 1 is about understanding how to enter the Castellum Tenebris that it needs the personal encounter between Fenris and the heir of the house of Danarius. The second volume shows the entry into the Castellum and the attempt to stop the ritual in time. And volume three is the big battle when the protagonists get there. ”
The fourth question asked of the writers was about the reaction they would have if any of the characters featured in the comic book series appeared in the next video game in the series, and of course both of them replied that they would be honored even though they did still thought Fenris and the others just stay in print.
