I'd rather they stay separate, myself. Eberron is becoming increasingly less distinct as WotC continue to port elements that originated there into core D&D.

I jumped down to the description previously and totally missed those icons listing the options.

Presumably, Gith would be one species, so maybe: Astral elf Autognome Giff Gith Hadozee Plasmoid Thri-kreen

Almost everything added to D&D gets ported into FR, and that was before WotC went all in on their multiverse nonsense (Eberron is remaining its own cosmology in my games, thank you very much). I have clearly missed where there was another 7 species confirmed. I double-checked and don't see it...

Neverwinter Nights was technically the first cRPG I ever played, so I have major nostalgia for it. I know people tend to consider it inferior to Baldur's Gate, but teenage me loved it while BG failed to capture my interest.

Both Astarion's Book of Hungers and Fall of Netheril are clearly tangentially related to things that were touched on in BG3, and WotC seem keen to milk the game's popularity for all it's worth, so with that in mind, a few possibilities: Gale's Guide to Working the Weave: New spells, and...

Ah, yes, Minthara's Manual of Menzoberranzan - 5e's answer to the Book of Erotic Fantasy.

If the other "Champions of" books are anything to go by, there will certainly be more archetypes than what's depicted on the cover. Given they added draconith in Era of the Beast, I would hope they'd add sphiranx. If they don't...well, blood for the blood god!

Two creatures spring to mind. First, the Qilin: a benevolent creature which was sometimes depicted as walking on clouds to avoid harming even a single blade of grass, and said to appear at the birth or death of a wise and benevolent individual (as was alleged with Confucius). Second, the Xiezhi...

I think the "edgy evil is dramatic, good is boring" tone, as you put, is fine - appropriate even - for the Baldur's Gate series. I've always had the impression of the city being rather noir-esque in it's level of corruption and inability to improve. Contrast to Neverwinter where I generally get...

Seems like it's a "new game" in the way Force & Destiny is a separate game from Edge of the Empire (the same system with a few adjustments to make it more thematically appropriate) rather than the way Old World is separate from WFRP, for example.

I grew to like FemHawke, but I'll admit I still would have preferred a custom character. The Witcher is pretty much the only cRPG where a pre-created PC has worked for me. Same here with FemHawke. Saltpetre! Like, BioWare, guys, this is not subtle. And I'm playing a mage! I played FemHawke...

The origin characters, like the humour, is the sort of thing that makes me wonder. They shouldn't need feedback to make this decision - outside of a preestablished character like Geralt (or now Ciri) for The Witcher, it's well known that players would prefer to create their own custom character...

EA basically ignored Dragon Age because fantasy games don't sell as well as sci-fi games, so they were mostly left to their own devices, but also didn't get the same amount of funding. ME3 pissing off fans with it's ending contributed to EA giving DA a shot and increasing funding for Inquisition...

Clockwork Revolution looks great.
