[QUOTE="Herobizkit, post: 6332953, member: 36150"] Come on, the city building part was worth slogging through the rest of the game. And they had Warlocks! Kids ARE children. And by extension, most people I know were kids AND children when Drizzt began his heydey, so those of us who 'lived it' eyeroll and snicker and shake our heads and go "oh boy here we go again..." @[I][B][U][URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/member.php?u=3570"]Kai Lord[/URL][/U][/B][/I] gave the best example - re-casting Drow as Twilight-like vampires. For myself, Drizzt IS Edward (having all the benefits of his race and the only downside being that he can't make many friends and is a 'tortured soul'), and all the guff that people gave Twilight is the same or similar guff that my circle of gamers had given Drizzt.. and still do. Basically, yes. People who agree wth the gist of what I was going on about nod knowingly, and those that don't may have assumed I was trying to be offensive, when all I was intending was to be tongue-in-cheek. This was because a) Elves got the best of practically everything, even with their Con penalty; b) because most Fantasy works that include Elves make them out to be some kind of messiah race; c) because [many] Elves traditionally are haughty and see themselves as racially superior - specifically, the Drow and the Grey/Sun/Eladrin Elves. And 2e Bladesingers. But I think we can all say that they and the players who played them were horrible, horrible people. :D [/QUOTE]
