[QUOTE="Scrivener of Doom, post: 7870802, member: 87576"] In my earlier post I mentioned that [S]Lucas's gungans[/S] Salvatore's dwarves were brain-damaged and had speech impediments; I forget to mention that they almost uniformly have stupid names. Thanks for the reminder. RAS had access to Ed but he insisted on stupid names for so many characters when he could have simply said, "Hey, Ed, how do I make these characters sound like they belong in the Realms rather than in a session of Hackmaster?" I liked, as a guilty pleasure, [I]The Crystal Shard[/I] and also enjoyed [I]Streams of Silver[/I]. [I]The Halfling's Gem[/I], however, was when I thought the series and its characters began the decline of the character. Drizzt's Gary Stu-ness was never an issue for me. It's everything else - including the interminable fight scenes - that just made me stop after about book 5 or 6 (I'm not including the Homeland trilogy in that count). Plus he never did grok the Realms, IMO. [/QUOTE]
