The rule specific parts are one of my objections. About a third to half a sourcebook is a list of spells and skills in standard RQ format. The same information in HQ format would be a couple of pages.

When Mongoose lose interest in Glorantha quite possibly but hopefully there'll be 3rd Age versions of the interesting stuff before then. The HQ Aldryami book is being written by the same author as the Mongoose one so I'd expect it to have a lot of the same content.
