Sometimes it feels like nothing has any meaning in a Larian game. They just throw in everything and the kitchen sink without thinking twice.
I'm also worried for the plot that involves a VERY high number of factions already. The plot could be trying too hard and imploding on it's own impossibility. Mind Flayers, altered tadpoles, Githyanki and dragons, The Dead Three, Shar, Selune, Jergal, Zhentarim, Baldur's Gate, The Harpers, Shadow Druids, The Nine Hells and Devils, Zariel, Raphael, Mizora, Hags, Drow, Duergar, Cazador and Vampires....... JEEEZ!
I think its an expression of their lack of confidence. It requires real courage to take a "less is more" approach in any artistic endeavor.
