I don't know about you but I am all Drizzted out. Lets let something else from the rich world of Toril be the center of the universe for awhile

I have never made any content for a game before, but I would learn how to use the foundry just to make Elminster and Drizzt missions where they go crazy and have to be killed.
If you don't like him, don't play the story arcs that include him. Or find another game. This is Neverwinter. Who's novel defined it's present state? What character(s) by that author were instrumental in the telling of the Neverwinter story? Those who don't like it, well... It's Neverwinter, written by R. A. Salvatore.
I'm pretty sure I already spotted Drizzt and Dahlia in that Tavern. The only patrons that were labeled differently in the tavern. *shrug* Maybe they put them there in beta as an Easter egg.

If you look at Zebulars time line on page 2 Grimoire of Time Helms hold gamplay video is 1473.
You most likely made a typo but as a Timekeeper, I'd just like to clear this up.
Helm's Hold Video depicts stuff from 1478 DR, not 1473. Both the 4e FR Campaign Guide and 4e Neverwinter Campaign Setting begins at 1479 DR (month unkown, left up to DMs). I expect the game to be either in 1478 DR or 1479 DR. No one at PWE/Cyrptic or WotC has answered any inquiries as to NWO's start date.

Bwahahaha 3 or 8 about same thing. I'm alway ahead of me one brain cell. Should of copy paste, ugh can never go wrong with copy past!
After my second cup of coffee, yeah I see it now. Tonight and tomorrow is wine nights, ugh be with them stinky elves(in-laws)
Drow live for up to 750 years on average (some may live longer though). BTW Drizzt was born 1297 DR add on 750 to this means he will still be alive in the year 2047 unless he been killed by someone or something before then.
Lol, well I was trying not to spoil it.
And to kotli, I'm well aware of how long drow live.
Drizzt supposedly 'dies' in 1484. The game starts in 1485 probably due to Salvatore not wanting to have to feel obligated to work with adding him in any way shape or form here, or he's just getting old :P
edit: Noticed they also added it to the FR wiki recently, as the last time I checked - it wasn't there. http://forgottenrealms.wikia.com/wiki/Drizzt_Do'Urden
Wow, I have new respect for the man for recognizing that he shouldn't just keep writing about drizzt forever.
Now perhaps I can go back and enjoy all those drizzt cameos in FR games knowing he wont be coming back, ever, again.

Salvatore wanted to kill off Drizzt a loooooong time ago. Entreri was supposed to do it sometime after Halfling's Gem, but WotC didn't let him. Fans love him too much.
It should also be noted that Drizzt wasn't ever intended to be the main character, Wulfgar was. Read the foreword in the Icewind Dale Trilogy collector's edition and it explains that big D was made up on the spot just before pitching his book to the publisher. xD
I cant even laugh at the ignorance of this statement... It is like the bright eyes of a 5 year old saying how they will rule the world and they are smarter already then all adults and have nothing to learn.
IF there are just 60 levels in this game..... then where in your wisdom would drizzt be? hmmm lets see.. add all the lore. hmm about 100th level? what would you do to stick with the proper lore?? make a drizzt raid of 40+ 60ths to fight him? cause that is what he beats on a daily basis in the lore and books.
it would be plain and utter retardation for them to try to put drizzt ib the game as a char you can fight.
I might have an upset stomach if he did make an appearance . . . I would like the game to have its own characters and develop them instead. Reference is fine - we already have a wench in that orc area referring to him, but anything more is just cheesy.
You're thinking of 3.5, not 4E
4E only goes up to level 30, at which point you're meant to ascend to some form of immortality having fought gods etc for ten levels. This game multiplies that by three, so we start paragon tier and choose a paragon path at 30 instead of 10, and finish it at 60 instead of 20.
So at maximum level in this game, we're the equivalent of 4E level 20.
Discussions on various D&D board use various facts about Drzzt's equipment, abilities and the kind of foes he finds a challenge to place him at about level 17 in 4E terms. Another Dragon magazine article put him at 21.
That makes Drizzt either a level 51 or 63 character in this game, against our maximum level of 60.
Yep, we can take him.
That is correct. Drizzit is actually Chuck Norris's halloween custome.
This is just too funny... ahhhh

The way I interpret it is that he died and became an Epic Level Chosen character and then starts to aid in larger workings of realms.
Do you know where I can read an account of Salvatore wanting to kill off Drizzt but WotC not letting him? That is very interesting to me, did they just convince him it would be a bad idea or did they pull out some kind of contractual obligation? Why did he cave??
