But a big part of it is that I really want this to be a genuine Forgotten Realms story and setting with immersion and cohesive and intelligent characters and companions. I want to FEEL like I'm really in the Forgotten Realms world, and I want to NOT have to pretend that I'm just a naive fool MC and that my companions are NOT terrible liars and obviously evil. In many ways, they've done this, but in others they have fallen horribly short.
As I said before: this attempt may end up being a serviceable game in its own right, but it will endure as a poor Baldur's Gate/Forgotten Realms experience that is derivative of other unrelated computer game series.
