@killerrabbit you're right about what you said about me not being able to call rose a spaghetti bowl, but that's not exactly what I said. I said that even if you call the evil path in bg3 the sexy drow path, but change nothing else about it, it still sucks from a narrative prospective. I do it not think it's because this path is not evil, but because being evil is not the problem here.
About the absolute powers- the absolute powers works completely separate from the evil path, meaning you can complete the evil path, the good path, or ignore both of the with or without the absolute power storyline. It is a completely different story line, to which we don't know the consequences yet. This means that even if this aspect of the story is interesting and intriguing (and it is), it doesn't really makes the evil path any better because it's not really a part of it. And actually, maybe making it more integral part of the evil path would be a relatively cheap way to fix it.
About why the FR settings are not the problem - I think I went about this the wrong way. After carefully considering it, I don't think the nature of the settings as kanisatha explained them at least is a problem here, especially if we consider what he said about bg2 and throne of Bhaal. @kanisatha correct me if I'm wrong here but what you're saying is that there is some sort of good balance that ultimately can't be shifted. I have two questions about it:
1) how big a change has to be to be considered evil win? You mentioned somewhere Baldur's Gate being destroyed. A grove destroyed is too small I take it?
2) if we establish that a grove being destroyed is too small to be considered evil ending, does it make this ending to be natural ending, good ending, or something else?
