personally i feel Larian have done a great job portraying the forgotten realms especially for just ACT1, some examples:

Finding the Zhentarim Hideout was pretty cool
Thayan Cellar was cool especially the Szass Tam reference
Seluns temple
Druid grove and Silvanus reference
all the little lore books you find everywhere
Some conversations - Shadowheart talking about shar and selune, goblin who was imprisoned for following the old goblin god rather than the absolute
And the Underdark - coolest place ever

What about you guys, do you feel your in the forgotten realms? if not what would you add?


What about more or less the whole plot with the tieflings being linked to the Decent into Avernus?


To me it seems the people who aren't happy, are the knit pickers who would never be happy unless they got exactly what they wanted. I honestly don't know what "feels like forgotten realms" means, because "too each their own". This is a setting based on a roleplaying game, where we the players have created the world for decades now. Sure there are some common points, but these common points might differer from gaming group to gaming group.
I personally feel this is a Forgotten Realms game.
