I criticized this somewhere else. Larians writers tend to go over the top. They need to learn a bit restraint.
The point they tend to miss is that you necessarily need common, normal people to contrast your powerful characters and races with.
You need a human fisher's village to have Tieflings, Mind Flayers and Elves be something special. If you continuously throw powerful races at us, they become boring and dull.
Yeah, I have made the
same observation and tend to agree.
