His sword is cool though, and the books have a lot of interesting ideas in them. I just don't find it easy to sympathize with him and his goals. Conan has always spoken to me on a deep level, especially his contempt for the corruption and lack of authenticity of civilization.Įlric is an.interesting character, but I've never really been able to get into Michael Moorcock's writing style, and Elric himself always kind of comes across as an irritating to me. I absolutely love Conan, and love the themes related to the character. To me Conan is one of the greatest characters in literary history. In order, I'd rank them Conan, then Elric, then in a distant third, so distant he's pass the horizon and be out of view, would be the drow ranger. The other four I am much more familiar with. It wouldn't be fair to include a complete unknown in such a line up. I literally know nothing about the character, and I'm not even sure I'd recognize him in a line-up (white dude with white hair and beard, right?). If you asked me to rank these characters, I would have to leave Geralt off the list. I didn't recognize Geralt by that name, having never played the Witcher games, and not even knowing they were based off novels.
