This may be a general discussion topic, I'm not sure, but since I'm only familiar with this particular forum, the question goes here for now.

What is the big deal about the Underdark? Granted, they're a cool race and have some nice advantages, but for the most part, Drow are just a normal part of any D&D world. Why the big obsession with them? I play the game, I go through the Underdark quests, but nothing strikes me as exceptionally impressive. I also get the feeling that the Underdark was put into the game as a 'people pleaser' due to it's overwhelming fan base... and I'm assuming that this game, and the rest of the series, are based in the Forgotten Realms setting? So does Drizzt (sp?) play into it somehow? Someone fill me in!
