[url=https://forums.larian.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Main=91604&Number=699807] even if I don't understand how a bunch of these people would still be alive 100 years later (Volo, the rumor of Minsc being in the game). You could definitely include some non-human characters and have the timeline still make sense. .
Minsc has apparently been petrified all this time and just recently brought back to his old self.
