I loved the forgotten realms setting and novels. Loved the computer games as well. I liked trudi canavans books as well

I didn’t mind the first ones - disliked the later books though

I have the first 6 in trilogy volumes (which, 4-6 are icewind). Read the first 2, never finished Exile. Really really liked learning about Drow Culture in those ones but started to struggle once he came to the surface

I started replaying Baldur’s gate a while ago on PC. It’s so so old now but loved it in childhood :) I quite liked the elf song books by Elaine Cunningham

Hmm interesting, why do people not like RA Salvatore’s writing? I thought the Drizzt books I’ve read were really fun classic fantasy feeling

It’s mostly the “Drow are inherently evil dark skinned people from a close equivalent of Hell” that people disliked. Which, yes, I understand, but also it was not that Drow were evil it’s that their culture was built on different (NOT REAL LIFE, VERY FANTASY CODED) morals.

Like there’s absolutely criticism to be had about how the Drow have been portrayed in D&D content especially until recently, but the “all Drow are evil” argument, in my opinion, is misinformed and twisted because that’s not the case.

I always read it that it was driven by Lloth as opposed to intrinsic to them as drow

It’s a mix of zealotry and morals, yes. But some old D&D material labels them as “evil for the sake of evil” and Salvatore didn’t necessarily try to deny or change that.
