| Khuutra said: FFXII is the best game in the series with the best writing and the best characters but that's savagely off-topic. Robert Jordan (may he rest in peace) couldn't write women. Period. I can only assume that his understanding of the relationships between men and women was not accurately communicated in his portrayals of them. I liked the first few Wheel of Time books, but Jordan is not in any way comparable to Erikson or Martin. And yes, characters are more important than worldbuilding - unless, ah, the world becomes something so grand, so wonderful, as to match the means of characters who walk other worlds. |
Interesting, I absolutely love the relationships in a Wheel of Time, and think that the humor that they add is, in my mind, one of the cool parts about the series.
Money can't buy happiness. Just video games, which make me happy.
