Darken Rahl and his Trip to the Underworld (or, eat it, antigamers)

[Evoman]

11. Ha...I was wondering where you were going to go with this after reading the title.

I've read all of Goodkind Seeker novels (except the newest one, which I don't think is part of the whole story). The weird thing is, I really started hating Goodkind and his Gary Stu after Temples of the Wind. I think he just lost it after 9-11. Still read all the books....and Wizards First Rule was a very satisfying story (or so I thought when I read it as a young man.....tried reading it again, and felt the writing wasn't that good, though the story was).

Funny thing is, that the book was also turned into a TV series, which of course couldn't be true to the novel. Even the most violent TV shows, movies, and video games don't come even close to some of the shit I've read in books. Imagine all the Richard torture scenes. Or the violent rapes.

Anyhow, on topic.....I agree with you. Not only that, but in most video games, even the most violent, you are usually the "good guys". And even when your not, most of the violence is silly and gory. I've never played a game that came even close to the psychological and morally repelling torture of some of the novels I've read, or even movies I've watched.
