Personally, I'm getting a little sick of Drizzt as well. He started out a GREAT character. The Dark Elf Trilogy was simply amazing. But, I think he's become a little TOO virtuous. I mean the guy is completely anti-alcohol and anti-sex. He's turned into a humorless perfectionist that is hard to relate to. I think it would have been more interesting if Drizzt had an internal struggle to deal with, like Liriel from Elaine Cunningham's Daughter of the Drow and Tangled Webs who actually behaved like she was Drow. Liriel was over all a good person, but she still clung to some of her Drow instincts which made her character seem more realistic since she had a FLAW. Drizzt has no flaws, besides the fact that he is so perfect that he's annoying.
