The story that RA wrote for Demon Stone wasn't what I hoped it'd be, heh.

Will have to see, I guessm!

I think Salvatore is a great choice for creative director of an MMO. What better then a story that starts off great, sets the scene for incredible sequels midway and at the end is a total disappointment and cockblock festival.

No, utnayan hates salvatore because he is actually working on games while ut argues in forums about games.

Kuro · 09-09-2006, 03:18 AM

What's their stance on Performance Enhancing Potions?

Aren't both of 'em fairly elderly? I'd wager they're all for viagra.

I wish Schilling luck though. Hopefully he will understand what needs to be done in this genre.

What, exactly, has he done that made him a sell out? Specifics please.

Nebuchadnezzar · 09-09-2006, 08:01 AM

Besides working for WOTC? Well, he killed Chewie too.

Ignoring my own jokes though, he isn't exactly the most original or able of authors and hasn't written a good novel for a very long time. Just more of the same over and over with invincible characters that keep coming back to life.

His Drizzt stuff is "ok" but Im not a real huge fan of it because Drizzt as a character is too powerful. I can accept the too powerful thing but then you add in the whole tormented boy scout thing and it just gets cheesy. The latest series with Drizzt was much better I thought because its darker then the others I think. Also I dislike Drizzt cause I grow tired of seeing the 10000000 different versions of him every day. I cant even take Dark Elf rangers in EQ2 serious anymore because they all RP drizzt in some way or another... /sigh

Now... Artemis Entreri on the other hand I think is a great fucking character. He is overpowered too but he isnt a boy scout like Drizzt and I think his character has a shit ton more depth. Seeing him struggle with his choosen way of life is great. Its interesting seeing such a cold hearted killer start to find some form of humanity over the years.

/nerd off

Salvatore is a sell out because he doesn't know when to stop. He keeps selling the same tired and old stories based on the same tired and old characters. As noted, he hasn't written anything decent for years, and banks on his name from previous work to make money today -- while fanboys jump all over the name.

If you would like to see an Author who is worth a shit, see David Eddings -- who doesn't whore out his characters for cash.

Similar to Peter Molyneux today. A good designer back in 1995. He hasn't done shit for 11 years and continues to disapoint time and time again. Selling on hype and his name, while the game always falls on it's ass.

I love some of these replies though. Considering some of the dipshits here posting that design games know less about their own product than Draz knows about common sense.

GrobbeeTrull · 09-09-2006, 10:43 AM

Wow, Ut's throwing down the gloves - actually called the designers that post here dispshits. Quoting for posterity.

He doesn't whore out his characters for cash, but his wife writes too much of his material now. His quality of writing has gone way down from his first series.

I was a huge fan of his. Ate up everything he wrote, but my past few experiences with him have left me feeling 'meh' but, oh well.

Yeah, well we've known for quite a while how fucking ignorant, gullible, and plain stupid Utnayan is. I find it hard to believe anything he posts about anything has any merit with any one anymore. After his rant (that got edited by a mod) flaming McQuaid with personal attacks, I haven't read anything he's written.

I'd put him on ignore but idiots keep feeding him by quoting him, so I know it would be pointless. I wish he'd start flaming WoW, Pardo, and Furor, so he'd get banned instead of encouraged.

Senen · 09-09-2006, 10:50 AM

You know whats so great is the Ignore List under user CP, I'm suprised some of you guys haven't put Utnayan on it yet. So nice being able to shut him up and not a damn thing his retarded ass can do about it.
