Baldur's Gate vs Waterdeep. Does anyone else wish instead of BG3 we were getting Waterdeep 1? It's just that Waterdeep is a much cooler, much more impressive city then BG.
The novels set in Waterdeep are also better.
Don't get me wrong, 5e BG is more interesting then 2e BG, but Waterdeep is still more interesting then either.
I look at my poster map of Waterdeep, and all the interesting sites, then look at a picture of 5e Baldur's Gate sigh, wistfully.
Don't get me wrong, Little Calimshan, Twin Songs, Undercellar, Hall of Wonders is neat, but after that BG really isn't that interesting.
Waterdeep on the other hands has so much to see. It has way more temples, mount waterdeep, chosen of mysteria, merfolk in its harbour, walking statues, magic schools, and more. Oh and a little thing called Undermountain.
But in CRPG spheres Baldur's Gate has the name recognition.
