^This. And especially when you factor in that fans of the FR setting (even if they constitute only a minority of BG3 fans) are that much more likely to mirror the setting's favoring of the good side over the evil side.


Very interesting. Thanks @azarhal! Confirms my guess that the numbers are inflated by the active encouragement to have people play the evil path.
