Sure, they threw a couple of Forgotten Realms elements in there, doesn't mean they make any sense. To me it feels like I'm playing in a Divinity setting and finding Forgotten Realms stuff crammed in without much logic. Oh look mates, a level 1 red dragon! Oh, we're level 3? Let's go conquer the underdark laugh Oh, every goblin pack has mages and clerics and apparently have high INT scores, moronic HP and nonsensical AC, so cool! 700 tieflings in an encampment, just like I remembered, after all they're the most common race in the Forgotten Realms.


None of the complaints you made here has anything to do with the FR as a setting. And btw the FR are a generic a fantasy setting withall kinds of fantasy tropes crammed into it. You go from classic high fantasy (Sword Coast, Dalelands) to arabian nights (Zakhara, Al-Qadim) to jungle adventures (Chult) to far east esttings (Kara-Tur) and it goes on and on. So does BG3 feel like it's set on the Sword Coast? Yes it does. You are stranded down the coast under the cloakwood, a region you could explore in BG1 (where you could meet nasty critters charmiong you to death btw...).

Complaining is fine and legit but it needs to make sense otherwise it just comes out as irrational hate.
