Whenever D&D, I'm rather invested in Forgotten Realms. It's just what I played most. Hells, when we played Pathfinder it was in the Forgotten Realms.
And now, that just makes things so much more comfortable that I don't want to switch, really. Sure, it'd be fun to explore something else, but it's not like we did all you can do on Faerun.
It just saves *so* much time. "Hi, I'm playing Ordan, Wood Elf Paladin of Silvanus.' - Oath of the Ancients, then. Gotcha. Next up?
And frankly, I prefer this setting for my computer games, too. I remember Pillars of Eternity... Where you're bombarded with text at character creation, where everything is just copy pasted from D&D but given different names, and then a godawful long intro with weird un-pronouncable terms that ultimately have no real bearing on the story... Nope. I'll go play something else, thank you. "Our tale begins in Easthaven..." - Good. I know where that is. Where's the goblins?
