I bet if someone wanted to write about the scores of gnome and elf lovers Mystra has had, your tune would change. Humans dominate most of the lands, in-universe by virtue of being the most populous, and out of universe by virtue of being the easiest fantasy cultures to write about.
Sure? But untill then we gotta roll with the lore we have.
I know tons of people roll for stats on tt so it doesnt matter as much there, but i'm glad Larian is letting us finally play accurate human in game.
Seeing a Gnome have more int than Gale, who is basically second only to Elminster, really wrecks the immersion.
