I feel that list was a huge rip off compared to others. Like why does Dragonlance list novels, but the Forgotten Realms doesn't, instead FR list introduction, it's only been the default setting for one addition. There seems to be an anti FR bias, like folks only pick it because it's 5e's default or something.

And FR isn't the most traditional setting, that would be Greyhawk, do these people even know the setting?

Other settings had cool lists, FR only got a couple of good options, most were super generic or worse.

They could have listed characters, novels, video games, etc..., I'll point out FR is the most steam punk setting (Eberron Magitech).

My impression from reading all of these lists is that they are derived from the comment box feedback in prior surveys. So, these are probably the big reasons they have gotten for Forgotten Realms in surveys.

Oh, yeah, for sure! Lots of.modding and fan servers still going.

Honestly assumed they meant NWN 1&2 + Expansions, just like the BG option would include BG1, 2, and 3 along with expansions, given they only mention the first of any series.

I had to add Pool of Radiance, it annoys them they ignored the Gold Box games.

More folks read FR novels then any other D&D setting, novels (or transmedia) should have been on the list at least.

Novels would be considered part of the "robustness of the setting".

Actually I poked around the survey again because I wanted to see the questions for all choice and your partially right, novels and games were included after all, bit not under robustness of the setting, it was under Nostalgia for other works the setting (which included novels and other media). My bad, thankfully I picked that anyways.

Interesting to note Mystara had Diversity and real world analogs (FR is like I have entire continents of this, plus Unther and Mulhorand) and Path to Immortality (FR used to have this, Epic Destinies).

Theros and Ravnica get ripped off complete, they have a amswer bubble asking what did you like about the setting and that's it, which suggests they have very little data on D&D players relationship with these settings (which are likely very different from MtG players I suspect).

It might ot be a major part of their existing feedback.

Some of the questions and answers are worded in such a way that I believe results will be skewed due to leading the audience to preconceived ideas.

It was under Nostalgia.
