Let me start off by saying I'm having a blast playing this game. I've Played BG 1 & 2 for like 20 years regularly, and was always intrigued by the Forgotten Realms.

So about four years ago, I've bought a bundle off the first 30 books about Drizzt Do'Urden, a Drow Ranger, by R. A. Salvatore. If you did not know about these books, I'd like to recommend them wholeheartedly to you, if you love the world of BG3. The books are true to the material, and offer deep insights into Faerûn.

They have their ups and downs, but I've read 14 books so far, and I've been deeply involved so far.

Later in the series a lot more characters become the focus and I enjoyed that quite a bit. It feels the series has a constant of Drizzt but it's best when that anchor is used to show other players stories. Jarlaxle, Kimmueriel (sp?), Artemis, Yvonnel, Gromph, the second round Harpells, the Xorlarrans, the Avendrow etc. And even as someone whose spent a really large amount of time with the series I would say I mostly ignore the Drizzt monologueing feels like mostly catch up content or insights that already made themselves clear and mayhaps our author just filling pages...
