Ah, OK. Didn't notice any hype (not even in the PR press release), just hateSceptic said:It's not hate towards Salvatore, but he gets constantly overhyped as a writer and he's just not that good. His novels are alright. There was a ton of hype when he wrote Demon Stone and the game was shit with poor writing. Now he's being hyped again as a game writer. See the pattern?
