I actually really enjoyed the Drizzt novels, but this writing change happened before 4e started, when the thousand Orcs came about.
Then it was Orcs as characters, with Bear's strength, 3e magic weapons, etc. You could practically see 3e written into it far more than books of earlier editions IMO.
You could also see influences on the writing for books before that from 2e, but not as obvious in some ways as more recent books. It was still rather obvious in some ways however for some things.
If I could complete a thought I might have said this also.
