Just bad but then again DLo and Randle are both out . <| sep |> Everyone can ' t be the weird one . . Everyone wants to be special but no one puts anything SPECIAL into their character . They think that a fancy kit or racial abilities is going to do that , but it ' s story that does it . Why do I care about your weird race ? Just because they ' re weird ? I am much more interested in the halfelf with the funnyyetbitter personality who was disowned by a noble parent because he knew she was the product of cuckoldry . He wasn ' t an elf , and neither was her mother . That ' s an interesting character compared to the pixie witch with no personality besides being great at murder . <| sep |> I suspect she did it because Adam was on record as saying he was in a bad place when he wrote Mostly Harmless and wished he ' d left the series differently , he had event started drafting bits that might have turned into another book The Salmon of Doubt moved between being a HHGTTG and a DG book several times . It was one of those things that probably seemed right in theory , but the execution wasn ' t really there .
