This may be more information than you need or want, but this is a good resource for gods of the Forgotten Realms.

All good! We all know what it's like to be new to something, and D&D has a rich lore that has been developed over several decades. Easy to get overwhelmed. Enjoy your time in game!

This is sort of a problem both here and in the og BG. It's a potential problem, but not necessarily. The gist of it is that the game doesn't explore it's lore too much and is very cheap on exposition. It is great for those who are familiar with forgotten realms, but kinda confusing for newcomers. I found that the way the world works (with the planes and shit) to be very confusing in Baldur's Gate. I also was a bit confused about the roles of organisations such as the Harpers. I don't know how to sufficiently solve this without hurting immersion or giving you tons to read. But based on the way they handled lore in the divinity games, I'm not holding my breath for Larian to solve it


Larian's Biggest Oversight, what to do about it, and My personal review of BG3 EA
"74.85% of you stood with the Tieflings, and 25.15% of you sided with Minthara. Good outweighs evil, it seems."
