The devs packed in a LOT of Forgotten Realms into Act 1. We've got goblins, gnolls, hags, mind flayers, Githyanki, drow, myconids, warp spiders, and so much more. I get a strong vibe that the developers were incredibly excited to be working in the Forgotten Realms and wanted to include as much of it as they could into their game.
The cooks packed in a LOT off Birthday Cake ingredients into this. We've got flour, eggs, sugar, milk, butter, vanilla extract, baking soda, baking powder, icing, and so much more. I get a strong vibe that the developers were incredibly excited to be working on a Birthday Cake and wanted to include as much of as they could in their recipe.
If this isn't a Birthday Cake I don't know what is.

Moral: Results do not simply lie with the ingredients but rather the manner in which they are combined.
