Adverbs are not popular in modern writing, but one area where they are essential is in character development. If you are trying to present a character as effusive and excessively generous in their praise of others, you need to pepper that character's dialog with amplifying adverbs. A very striking distinction can be created when your narrator abstains from all adverb use while one of your characters indulges indulgently.
