[QUOTE="brimmels, post: 8975610, member: 6919689"] R.A. Salvatore appeared to discuss the 35th anniversary of the introduction of Drizzt Do'urden. The final book in his trilogy, [B]The Way of the Drow[/B], is entitled [B]Lolth's Warrior[/B] and will release this August. [CENTER][ATTACH type="full" alt="Lolth's Warrior.PNG's Warrior.PNG"]280072[/ATTACH][/CENTER] “He was the classic misunderstood, unappreciated hero. People judge him unfairly.,” said Salvatore, adding that everyone can relate to that. In [B]Way of the Drow,[/B] “Drizzt comes full circle.” Salvatore also talked about the differences between writing books and videogames. In a book, you're seeing through the characters' eyes. In a videogame, the most important character is the player's. saying that he takes the approach that the story in the videogame is along the side the books without being the story in the book.
