And, really, what did the 3e Campaign setting give us that wasn't "recycled material from past editions"? All revisions of a campaign setting are going to be recycled to some degree. A full 5e campaign setting that can go into less detail on individual regions is going to read a heck of a lot more like recycled material. And adventures, since it also mentions the effects of Murder in Baldur's Gate and Legacy of the Crystal ShardShouldn't the comparison be with the 3e and 4e Player's Guides to the Forgotten Realms. And I can tell you, this book has a LOT more information than the Player's Guide to Faerun. (But you need to double-check the amount of setting content in the 3e book... you might be surprised.) population numbers, prominent figures & statblocks, and magic items are DM information. Why would they be in a player's guide?</blockquote>
