Speed and skill, basically. Game Drizzt was far less impressive than book Drizzt, and that's saying something.

Wulfgar is also seven foot something. He thought Drizzt kissed his wife. (Entreri, magically disguised as Regis, told him so) In Drizzt's room, Wulfgar accuses Drizzt. Drizzt denies, Wulfgar doesn't believe him and attacks. No weapons were used, mind you. Drizzt owns him, fisticuff style. I think Wulfgar actually tore a chunk out of the stone wal in that little brawl... I'll check again.

He also beat an ogre who had been magically strengthened and sped up. (potion of the bull, potion of haste) This dude was smashing trees and everything. Drizzt slashes at him for like 10 minutes and finally kills him. Owned.

Drizzt stalemated Obould Many Arrows with his own blades, solely because they were not sharp enough to pierce Obould's armor. Obould was upgraded by the orc gods to have the speed of a wildcat and the strength of a bull. (he killed both barehanded in the ritual, btw) Obould knocked the Queen of Frost giants on her arse. Once Drizzt got a sword strong enough... You guessed it, owned him.

Now, I haven't many things to compare Sarevok to him with. But Sarevok is big and swinging a greatsword. Not fast enough to tag Drizzt, especially if Obould and Wulfgar couldn't.

See, my reasoning is that Wulfgar and Obould are also both very smart, strong, and fast. Obould tossed a frost giant queen with a punch. She was the aggressor as well, she threatens, he tosses. Too fast for her to react. As to brains, Wulfgar was trained by Drizzt. He's plenty battle savvy. Obould was blessed by Grummsh with extraordinary intelligence. He successfully leads ORCS to a win against Mithril Hall. Superior numbers, yes, but he orchestrated a full scale seige against a fortress and some battle hardened dwarves.

Errtu is stronger, faster, and smarter than all of them, but Errtu beat the crap out of Drizzt until Drizzt figured out that Icingdeath both protects him from fire and drains Errtu's health. Though for his benefit, Errtu's blade was lightning oriented, so Drizzt couldn't block anything without getting severely shocked.

And saying that Sarevok outsmarts Drizzt is saying that Juggernaut outsmarts Batman. Definitely not happening. Drizzt is the KING of using his surroundings.

I also didn't mention Guenhwyvar. A 600 pound, intelligent magic panther is an asset to anyone in any fight.

I give the nod to Drizzt, solely because A: Speed almost always beats strength, and B: Sarevok is nothing really new to Drizzt. Big, powerful, fairly fast dudes are his bread and butter.

Gamewise, they tie. But Drizzt has the luxury of book feats, where Sarevok does not. (unless someone's read the books... if you have, please feel free to enlighten)

I don't know, My character stomped both of them easily.

Yeah, neither were real problems here. I'd say Jon Irenicus is probably the hardest end boss in any of the games...

Well that's cheating then... I played him twice. First I lost, second I won. I hadn't hit the max level with any of my guys yet though...
