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.
This post pretty well encapsulates why some people are just never going to be happy with Baldur's Gate 3, so thanks for posting it.
The Forgotten Realms are a setting explicitly designed to accommodate what amounts to fanfiction. Every time you pick up a book or play a DnD game you're getting an ever so slightly different mixture of elements from the world based on the writer/DMs preferences and what sort of story they want to tell with it.
So by saying "It still isn't Forgotten Realms because the elements of the world were used didn't adhere strictly to my personal interpretation" is nothing but gatekeeping. It isn't a valid argument.
In fact, arguing that someone else's interpretation of Forgotten Realms is wrong goes against the very spirit of the IP.
