| | | We should start brainstorming....Lets see...
How about...what have we had? Giants, Drow, Vampires, Mages, Deamons, Dragons, plenty of humans(how can you not?)...Um...Rhakasha's. Satyrs. Archons. There are so many creatures we could have, we just keep using the same ones over and over.

| | | NO MORE DRIZZT!
He is not even that good in BGDA2, and his weapons are just garbage.
I wanna see Artemis Entari not Drizzt, unless I can kill him.

| | | Well if you killed Drizzt in BG 1, and then had to kill him in BG 2, you shouldnt have to kill him one more time, i mean c'mon! How many lives can he have?!

No more!  | I'm glad this thread has degenerated into an anti-Drizzt rant page, because it gives me another opportunity to spout off about him  . He may be a legend and all, but I'm throughly sick of the dude. Salvatore has overdone him (the Drizzt series should've stopped right after The Silent Blade) and I'm sick of him easter-egging my Forgotten Realms games up. Let Drizzt slowly disappear into the shadows like other fantasy characters already! |

I wouldn't mind getting rid of him myself... unfortunately, being the main character, he caries the ability to revive himself at will, it appears. 
I pretty much agree with Koz-Ivan, as the drow are an overused race these days, Drizzt in peticular. I would for once like to see the drow get soundly flushed away for a time.
As for the books, don't worry, they seem to be pushing Jarlaxle now.

| | Well, at least they shake up Drizzt's morals in the books occasionly. Like in the latest Drizzt trilogy. Unfortunately it does have a happy ending for Drizzt at least.
And Jarlaxle is an interesting character IMO, I'm not bothered about the Drow in general, just the renegade good drow disgusted with the drow normal. It's become cliched by now. |

| | | IMO the whole drow-consept is over used. The drow belong in the Underdark, nowhere else.

| | | If there are any drow at all in the game they should be completly unrelated to any all ready known groups of drow. But really drow have been used in so many games way to many times. Why not have a refugee camp for a half-orcs? Or atleast something else original.

These are interesting races that have yet to be fleshed out in book or game because everyone has a fetish for purple elves... Ack am I ever sick of drow...  |

| | | I like thiefling the most, of all the races. I mean... DEMONIC HERITAGE! Well, I want to see a new D&D hero, who's a thiefling instead of a rotten drow. Imagine, he's travelling between the planes, with a little imp on his shoulder, that'll be so awesome!
Well, to not get off-topic: Drizzt sucks, BIG-TIME!

| | | I don't keep up with the Drizzt novels, nor do I ever plan to. I vaguely know about him, and it was nice to see him crop up in a couple games. No, I don't think he should be a playable character, or have any big role in the supposedly upcoming BG III. If he happens to show his face for a bit, I wouldn't get angry, though.
But they should be introducing more characters, instead of spewing Drizzt all over the place. |

| | Read the books and enjoyed them for what they were, but his cameo in BG2 was thoroughly dissapointing. Like....there I was in Bodhi's lair with 4 hasted party members hacking away at her and her goons. My cleric & mage are way back in the corridor summoning beasties and where is the legendary Drow fighter? Standing next to my cleric & mage!!!!! I'm not gonna carve the guy up, but I do agree that its probably time to hang up the scimitars and maybe take up basket weaving at the home for old heroes LOL.  ( I hear Conan the barbarians quilting class is also quite challenging  ) |

| | Personally, I'd like to see Drizzt kept away from BG 3. I do however enjoy the books (though I find some battle parts rather boring, and sometimes the story just drags on), but if they want to keep Drizzt alive, they need to stop using him, at least for a while. Sure, he's one of the biggest characters in FR lore, and that's pretty cool, but do we REALLY need to see him everywhere? If they keep using him, he'll eventually wear out and not really be that great at all. It's kind of like pie: it's amazing, but too much of it is just sickening. Anyway, Drizzt in BG 3? No, because they need to stop using him. They can use him in future games, but we don't really need to see him any time soon.
All that said, I wouldn't really care if he was around again. I just hope whoever makes BG III (Obsidian or Bioware?) knows what they're doing.
Oh, and Drizzt is the reason I don't play Drow. I prefer the classic elf, or at least the more common surface dwelling sub races. CG Drow of any class = cliche.  | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Rate This Thread |  Linear Mode | |
