Famous Characters
While the
Forgotten Realms is home to many famous characters for books and
Dungeons and Dragons campaigns, such as
Elminster and
Drizzt Do'Urden, Faerûn has a large cast of unique characters created for its games. The
Baldur's Gate series is well known for
Minsc and
Boo, the mighty ranger and his pet hamster, and villains
Jon Irenicus and
Sarevok. Some games are based on campaigns, such as pool of radiance, others are original video game stories. In addition to many great developers, particularly
Bioware, Forgotten Realm's writers, including Ed Greenwood and R. A. Salvatore, have worked on the storyline of multiple games.
