Every other day on the Baldur’s Gate 3 subreddit, there was a complaint about how Larian Studios took liberties.The difference here is that outside of media entertainment (video games, movies, books, etc) in make believe RPGs played from the comfort of your own homes, official lore changes don’t really matter as much. Count Vlad Drakov in Falkovnia is still a dude in my Ravenloft campaign. My friends and I back in the 2000s ignored the new “lore” from the Star Wars Prequels and only used stuff from the Expanded Universe for our campaign.And you can still buy older D&D books, even if just digital copies. So that version of Faerun from the mid 90s can still be used and referenced if you want to.So I really don’t take “official” lore changes all that seriously in the TTRPG hobby. If a movie, comic, video game or tv show does major changes that I find inexcusable, I just won’t consume that media.Not to dismiss other people’s feelings, but I simply cannot relate. Why stick to modern lore changes if you don’t like them? Change them! The Pinkertons won’t smash down your door.</blockquote>
