If that is the case, then that is a clear retcon of previous canon lore, which of course is par for the course with WotC these days. Something from years of canon doesn't quite fit what some jackass writer/producer/game developer wants to do today, no problem. Just retcon it! To these people the FR setting is just a cash-cow and they clearly have no love or respect for it.
You are refering to what, Minsc's epilogue at the end of BG2? If so, personnally, I never considered it canon as it was written for a videogame. I prefer the version of WotC. It allows Minsc to be used in the FR's current timeframe. Also, I don't know about other people, but I liked the story/canon they made around Abdel Adrian, how they made him a true hero and one of the grand dukes of BG.
