Is art design Larian or WotC's doing? Have you seen recent representations of the Forgotten Realms, and BG for that matter?
There might be another issue, BG:I had the more generic setting, whereas Athkatla was a more interesting and active part of the game in BG:II, so people coming from BG:II to BG:III which is set in Baldur's Gate might find it wanting
Feel free to tell me how I'm wrong about BG:I, I love it, but the last time I replayed it was to see how BGtutu worked.
