Most useful post in this entire thread!I've never understood the need to reboot the Realms everytime there is an edition change (except the transition from 2nd to 3rd, I guess). I hated the Time of Troubles, I hated the Spellplague, and I'm hating the Sundering. Some of the individual changes each time ended up being pretty cool, but the WAY the whole thing is handled each time is irritating.The most irritating thing about the Sundering is that they are rolling back some of the cooler elements of the 4th Edition Realms, and are also rolling back some of the changes that seem relatively minor, or at least don't change the tone of the setting one way or another.Resurrecting the Companions of the Hall. Horrible.Filling in the Sea of Stars (with water) and the Great Rift (with earth). Stupid.Earthmotes are all dropping to the ground. What's cooler than floating islands in a high fantasy setting?All of the work Salvatore did to make orcs a more three-dimensional enemy, undone. With frightening racist rantings from the newly resurrected Companions of the Hall. Made me feel for poor ol' Drizzt that his friends came back such jerks.That's off the top of my head, I'll just get myself worked up if I try to remember more of them. Gah!</blockquote>
