I don't care if he's a deadly fighter so much as the way he's being portrayed as though he were Celestial or something--you know, the Always Good types who just aren't vulnerable to moral failure except in ridiculously extreme circumstances. Angst is not a substitute for true moral dilemmas.Drizzt doesn't annoy me that much, though; I am quite fond of the way the battle scenes are written and I think I would've Magic Missile'd the author, if I'd been capable, over the latest events with Cattie-Brie and Regis, who have always been two of my favorites, along with Wulfgar.</blockquote>
