However, there is a thread over at the Gamefaqs ME2 board:
Best RPG of all time? - Mass Effect 2 Message Board for Xbox 360 - GameFAQs
that suggests as much!
I would not have bothered to post it here, but at one point, someone tries to make an analogy about how older stuff was good, but now they have "refined" it to make it better, and he uses RA Salvatore as an example of "running circles around Tolkien" to make the point.
I have not laughed that hard in a long time! thought I would share the laugh
and my title is, obviously, a joke.
