Didn't realize the talk was about add-on, my bad.

Time for bit of thread necromancy - there is no Artemis in Bodhi's Lair... Just someone named Arkanis, this entire debate was about nothing... how is thatArtemis only appears if you ask Driz'zt for help (and install the relevant UB component), while Arkanis only appears if you ask the Shadow Thieves.
Judging by the Forgotten Realms/Salvatore books timeline, Artemis shouldn't be there at all: he well believes that Drizzt is dead, so why would he try to find him? Probably that's the reason the designers cut him in the first place, though I wouldn't know.Judging by the FR/Salvatore's books timeline, Drizzt should not be there either.
The problem with the Drizzt novels (other than the usual gripes people have with them) is that several of them were published after the Baldur's Gate games, but set before the games in the FR timeline - meaning numerous discrepencies have cropped up. I believe the latest trilogy is set just after ToB, though, so there shouldn't be any more .What are the usual gripes? Are the books worth reading?
