[QUOTE="William drake, post: 3358727, member: 49143"] You’re right, all I know is what a friend of mine has told me, and he's read all the books. So thank you on that, now I know that attempts have been made to kill the one drow that's making a bad name for all other drow. But to what someone else has said, Drizzt fails all the time, its like R.A has his Drizzt’s charter sheet out, and is playing a game with him; so, whatever he rolls is the outcome of the day for that book’s chapter. That's why he can fight giants in one book, but gets seen by low level orcs in another. And I’ve wonder the same thing, how could he have gotten seen. Unless R.A is boosting the population number of F.R so that more orcs are high enough level to be able to keep up with his slick drow. Some one else said, that after running a character for so long, you have to raise the stakes. Well, that’s true, but if you don’t do it right, you end up with this. Where he kills giants or whatnot in one book, but fails to take down orcs in another. His failures don’t account for bad luck, they are speaking of bad writing, and the lack in R.A's ability to manage his world so that there is a steady progression in both creativity and danger. And spelling errors aside, since I am writing this late at night and working at the same time, I can have my opinion about pulp that is setting a bad standard for fantasy and fiction alike. If it makes you feel better, I will type my responses out in WORD then post them, but my grammar aside, I’m not a published author who is losing his character’s potential and ability every few books. I’m not making him untouchable in one page, and spotted by a nobody on the next without good reason, and bad luck isn’t the reason. That’s the quick fix, the “damn, now I’ve got to fix it, but I can’t, so I’ll just leave it at that and no one can say anything to me because I’m the writer HAHAHA” Bad luck you say, this isn’t a game, it’s a story. Bad luck is something that happens on a grand scale for someone like Drizzt, not he trips and falls at the wrong time. Bad luck is that he’s been working for his enemy the entire time, that he put a bad king into power, that’s Bad luck for a character at Drizzt’s level. Yes, rolls are rolls, but like I said, unless R.A is using a D&D book to figure out the ability of his creation, and not his own mind, then Bad luck doesn’t cut it. And if bad luck is your argument for all of the out of place occurrences, than shouldn’t Drizzt have died already. [/QUOTE]
