I think there is a confusion between “Larian should explain everything about DnD” and “Larian should set up things necessary for their narrative to work”. So far I don’t see Waterdeep to be important to the story. I would like to know what Weave is though. Maybe Gale would be less ridiculous if it was set up at all. Maybe not.
Of course, a simpler way would be having companion with more universal appeal, then weird magic atom bomb thing.
