Well i Played a Lot the other two Games and indeed there are some weird stuff here in BG3..
But i tolaret this Things.. becouse i always knew from the start the any choice i ever made in BG2,BG1 were no probably the Canon Ones..
And in the Future this will Happen with this Game.. if yu really think that the Good ending for all the companions will be the Canon..
Thing Twice.. i always felt that the Bad endings here will be the Canon in the future.. especially becouse of Wizards of the cost..
Most of the Good endings here will change a Lot the Original Lore of the Sword Cost and Forgotten realms overalll
and they even Made some Hard Canon Brake stuff already with Karsus..
Like Karsus did not make a Crow guys.. really larian ?!
yu are just Making the dude a lot weaker the he really was.. Karsus Made a Spell not a Crow. to steal the power of a God.
He was the One and Only Mage that ever existed in the entire Dungeons and Dragons to Make a 12 lvl spell
Yu cannot understand how Powerfull he really was.. Becouse Mistry cut the Balls of all Mages when he try to take her Power.
Made impossible for any other Wizard even be able to Try what he did.. if im not Wrong Nobody nowadays Besides her Chosen Can cast a 10 lvl spell.
So the point im trying to bring up is This..
Maybe just Maybe the Choises yu Made in the Other Games yu Think its the Canon one.. But nop.
It wasant.. it was Canon only to your Game get it ?!
Okay, looks like we're back to square one once again. May I recommend you to read previous discussions in this thread, or other related threads on reddit? Many valid points were made there. But to put it in simple words:
In-universe, it's not about players' past choices, it's not about good or evil, it's not about redemption happened or not, it's about characters' fundamental motives and personalities. BG3 contradicts those, simple as that. Let me give you an example:
What is reasonable: In BG4 Karlach never appears, because her canon ending is she didn't fix her engine in time, therefore she burned to ashes, but she loved and protected her friends and the world to the very end.
What is unreasonable: In BG4 Karlach happily works for Zariel, she loves killing people for her, especially children. Actually, she has done such things for 100 years. And why? Well, nobody knows, maybe because concussion is a thing.
Out-universe, consider writers' intentions. Did they retcon old characters because they wanted to explore new narrative possibilities with them, or because they wanted to make them new characters' stepping stones? Don't speak like this is natural development for characters and the writers didn't have a choice, they did, and this is what they chose to do.
Also I think it's funny to say "everything happened isn't canon" when the writers specifically chose a canon ending in which the character stayed in the party till the end to retcon.
I really can't understand your point. First it's "there's something wrong but consider WotC got involved, it's normal and we should get used to it", and later it's "there's nothing wrong because everything isn't canon and is just in your head". Which is it? Is there something wrong or not? You seem to have some arguments about Karsus there as well, can I say to you "your points are all invalid because those settings just exist in your head, they are Schrodinger's settings"? Last, sincerely, are you okay friend? Your response is...a bit concerning.
