[QUOTE="Orias, post: 1027483, member: 8165"] And how is it not? The Realms have always been structured around one central idea, & the big three always had a say in what went on historically & culturally. The history of the Realms has been extremely consistant for being a project that has been around for over 10 years. Actually, it is a lie. Why I have stated that I believe the complainers haven't read the book is because both of you are saying "Well, Mulharond looks juuuust like Egypt" - when they state directly in the book that it is supposed to be that way. As I have said, they basically came out & said Mulhorand came from Earth's Egypt. That's why I think neither of you have really read the book. I did not come out & say "You are an idiot" or anything of the matter. If you can't see the difference between someone asking "Have you read the book?" & "Anyone who doesn't play this setting is an idiot" then you have a lot of issues at hand. Wait? It's [i]me[/i] who is the one with the problem of someone else's [b]opinion[/b] - stated in a sentence where you are telling me that my [b]opinion[/b] is not really a matter of [b]opinion[/b] but [b]fact[/b]? Yes, I can clearly see that. Oh I am soooo sorry for ever having defamed you. I am so sorry for stating my opinion that the Realms, for the most part, are well thought out, which is not only a factually incorrect statement, but a blatant lie. I am sorry to have questioned you, wise sage of the history of the Forgotten Realms, & all things wrong with it. I am sorry that I did not take into account that some DMs have the problem with putting their foot down on not using NON-CANON material in game, & realizing that this is a fact to why the Realms as a roleplaying setting is bad.
