"Why I Hate Fantasy RPGs"

I think I in adverdently made a drizzt clone, though he is a moon elf and not a drow. See the picture thread for the pics of him.

 

I am so ashamed. :'(

I can never seem to help myself at making a Drizzt-pattered character if I make an elf - :blush10: - at least looks-wise. Not always abilities wise.

Dual wielding swords does not make you a Drizzt clone. :yes:

Repressing... i.... urge... to murder.

 

Killing Drizzt the first time was a labour of love. Giving me the chance to kill him AND all his geeky friends was sweet of the programmers. Having his even geekier mates take his stuff off me a second time was just embarassing. It was one of those occasions where I woud have preferred to be in a pen and paper rpg. Because I'd have EATEN that stupid bloody elf and see if they could resurrect him after THAT. And used his skull asa chamberpot. That way even if they did somehow succeed he'd always know that I'd pooped in his braincase.

tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe. RIP Hades/Sand/etc. Here's hoping your next alt has a harp.

Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.

It's one of the best parts of BG1 and BG2. The satisfaction of killing a muppet and his merry band of munchkins.

It certainly was. When people looked back at my character it would be to simply say that whatever her other faults, like becoming the Goddess of Murder, she did understand whhat was right and wrong. Namely killing Drizzt was right. Cretin.

 

"Oooh... what a merry dance!" I ask you. Who WOULDN'T kill someone like that? The queen would kill someone like that at a garden party. Which a canape. Using only her inspired fury.

 

A hero? Don't make me laugh. There wasn't one evil plan I've foiled which wouldn't be better than spending half an hour in that simpering idiot's company. I'd rather be eaten by capuchin monkeys.

 

*pure incandescent rage*

 

In fact I'm dangerously close to playing it all over again JUST SO I CAN KILL HIM.

I don't see what everyone has against Drizzt. Sure, he's cliched, but what isn't in the Forgotten Realms? I mean, I've never read any Drizzt books, and I've only run into him a few times in CRPGs, but those incidents were quickly done even if it didn't come to violence, which, unless he had something I was compelled to kill him to take, I didn't attack Drizzt anyhow.

 

The original idea of some sort of evil race spawning a good guy didn't begin and end with Drizzt. I just don't see why everyone hates the guy so much.
