You're right. He's lucky he died before it all went to shit. I mean, what the hell happened to RAS after the Dark Elf Trilogy? Everything during and before that was fine. Even Drizzt was about a million times less self-righteous and annoying in the Icewind Dale trilogy. And I mean, RAS did manage to create someone as FUCKING AWESOME as Zak. How?????? Maybe because he knew that Zak was destined to die? The ones that end up dead always get to have more fun.
Heh. I think you're a little biased when it comes to Dantrag. Age and experience doesn't always equal victory, and Drizzt had a lot of battle experience with creatures other than drow by then, so I see how he could have thought outside the box to defeat him. However, the thing with Zak is just...absurd. Come on. I mean, thankfully he never defeated Zak, but what the hell??? The being almost as good before he even went to the Academy is just another example of Drizzt being RAS's Sue.
