What is character assassination except a retcon that undermines the core of a character? This is splitting hairs.

Viconia loses her goddesses favor in the original ending. She is betrayed instead of being the betrayer. Her faith is a portrayed as a personal coping mechanism and not blind zealotry. She's a hero that fights cultists with Drizzt Do'Urden. The surface elves of Suldanessallar accept her as one of her own.

It's blatently obvious just from playing the original games and seeing the ending epilogues that Larian went in a completely different *contradictory* direction from Bioware in terms of Viconia's original personality and character development.

And can we stop bringing up Minsc and Boo's? I have that PDF, and from the way it keeps getting brought up as 'proof' that this was WoTC's vision makes me think that nobody has actually read it, because BG 3 Viconia doesn't line up with M&B Viconia, like *at all*.
