holy shit you absolute pedants.
yes, i damn hope they pick cool creatures
"Nuh uh there can only be cave olms here because in this off word remark by greenwood in 1994 it says that below baldurs gate theres no were badgers"
Why is it ALWAYS you pedants who want to virtue signal about prefering boring things to non boring things.
The underdark is THE adventure place, it doesnt have to maek sense. It deliberatley does not.
DnD is a stupid game, deliberatley so. its about fighting cool monsters. You realy think that you ought to say "no im not fighting that cool monster because its only plausible and not likeley"
listen to yourselves.
I totally understand your viewpoint and it made me consider my own opinion but I don't think it's about 'preferring boring things', it's about progression...if the first act already has myriad 'cool monsters' what do we fight in later acts? What makes them 'cool' is the fact that they are rare and usually incredibly hard to defeat?
I am all for fighting interesting and unique creatures in exciting and dangerous locations but feel that there should be a logical progression to doing so.
I also don't think there is any need to label people pedants for having a different opinion.
