Nice quote. And it fits computer games (cRPGs) as far as I'm concerned.
But with fantasy books it's pretty much the other way around. I'm not aware of any "vast" array of good fantasy books coming out in the early 90s. Whereas now there are easily 4-6 authors that I'd consider good to great. And only when compared to them does Salvatore really start to suck.
But since I was only ten years old in the early 90s I could easily have missed those mediocre, average and above average fantasy authors/books compared to whose work Salvatore was shit. Care to give me some pointers?
