I guess I'm going to go against the trend here, but I personally think the game does FR better than BG1/BG2 did.
Reading the OP, I just see someone who doesn't like what part of FR the game is going after and how the lore is presented. The mindflayer tadpole is "strange things in brain", but a creature from the far realms is super awesome in BG2 somehow. Compares Amaunathor which gets a full dungeon with a shadow dragon info-dumping to receiving a rune to open a vault?
Why don't you talk about Auntie Ethel?
About the temple of Jergal?
About the temple of Selûne?
About what the Dark Justicars did?
About what is going on in the Underdark?
About the Black Network agents?
About Gale having a relationship with a god?
About Shadowheart acting like a proper Shar worshipper?
About being able to lose yourself to the tadpole to gain power which work quite similar to the Slayer stuff in BG2, dream included (but you need to use it).
And that doesn't cover everything in the EA.
