Yea I respect a company that can make its own lore following what has come before more than one that can just bring back old characters that have already had their arc in the originals. Cool link Blade, checking that out now, I had never thought the games were trying to make much of an attempt at serious long standing lore the way the books are but it's interesting to see how different authors handle the lore when they are given free reign and don't really know dnd or the universe very well. I believe Larian has done and is doing their research. Tackling some very untouched parts of the lore head on is a ballsy move.
BTW listened to the first couple hours and have to say that book was very bad and I can't believe it carries the FR namesake.
