Talk:Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal (novel)

I HATE THIS BOOK because it totally abuses the characters. As if the second book wasn't stupid enough. Why did they get rid of Athans? Yes, he sucked, but Drew Karpyshyn's writing... I'm glad I only checked it out from the library! If you read this book you'll be too sick to eat food for ten years, and not just because of violence. Hint, hint: NPCs act idiotically. And what's with Sarevok coming back? He was bad enough as a good NPC in the game, but now... omg. And Abdel what an idiot. He's already died right? You know, Karpyshyn was good with the book Temple Hill, but I never finished it. But this book... negative 10 out of 5. DrizztTheSlayer 01:47, 14 April 2007 (UTC)


 * To be fair Philip Athans butchered the story so bad from the games that Drew Karpyshyn didn't have that much to work with, it is akin to having to restart the batman franchise with batman beyond, but having to maintain the continuity with the last two bad films. Sarevoks path to redemption in the game was actually one of the more interesting sidestories and if played correctly you could turn him good over time, it was one of my favorite aspects of the game. --71.206.211.16 06:17, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

Abdel
What happens to abdel after the book, I haven't read this book because from what I've heard it's worse than orc poo on a plate. No, but really, what happens to Abdel, I've played the game, all right, but with this version of the story, nothing can be taken for sure, and is Aerie mentioned anywhere in any of the books?
