Even Gilgeam 2.0 is very different in appearance and style.   Mulhorand is back,  but no slavery and it has to reintergate jts dispora,  including it's own returned people from Abeir along with folks that fled to other parts of Toril. And Ra,  who was dead since BEFORE 1e's time period is back. There has been no edition were Ra was alive and unmerged with Horus until now. Not to mention its in the process of rebuilding, which means the info on its cities from 3.5e is useless because most of those cities were destroyed, so its new ones being rebuilt now, mostly. Skuld may or may not have survived, I don't know, it wss runoured to have been destroyed in the Spellplague, but no one could find it in 4e, plus the Return of Mulhorand suggests it survived. Oh and there is no Planar Barrier to distract the Mulhorandi Gods so Mulhorand is one scary nation to its enemies. Then there the unmentioned nations like Nathlan,  we don't know what state it is in.  And while yes a lot of fan favourite NPCs survive the Spellplague and Sundering from 3.5e, alot of 4e favourites also survived, like Farieh and Havilar, and Mehan. So this mixed needs details. Plus Kara Tur, Zakhara, and Maztica have barely been touched since 2e. So no,  they aren't interchangeable at all,  heck even Waterdeep isn't interchangeable, major changes such as the Open Lord, the status of the Statues,  and more is different.</blockquote>
