I could not agree more.  I am all about local detail replacing the traditional 10,000-foot view of a campaign setting guide, but if the adventure paths are also going to serve as setting updates that local detail needs to be relevant to the setting.  Princes of the Apocalypse really pats itself on the back for being portable to any setting, but the net result is that its locales are bland as all get out.  Wizards needs to figure out that ignoring setting specific detail is easy for a homebrew dungeon master.  Creating it is a lot harder for those dungeon masters with an interest in Faerun.I expect them to spill a few drinks before getting the mix right.  I've been explaining D&D meta to clueless fans (and employees!) at hobby shops since 2005.  This is not a 5th Edition phenomenon.  :\</blockquote>
