I feel like I heard an interview with RA Salvatore in the 00s or early 10s, maybe with Know Direction or the Tome Show, where he explicitly said that rangers started getting Dual Wielding because of Drizzt. It was years ago, though, so I can't really point you in a more accurate direction. But yeah, I think you've got it right there.
That's interesting. I remember a chat at GenCon where he was discussing 4th Edition D&D. He really like playing it and thought it was fun, but did not like it in general because of how difficult he found it to adapt to the Drizzt books. I found that to be an interesting insight into the process. I personally like 4e, as you will see later in this series, but I very much understand many of the critiques and this particular one is one I think about often.

Thanks. It was fun to revisit. I added some details and look forward to the AD&D version.
