A DM can and should feel free to custom tailor whatever aspect of a setting he or she wishes. Just because something is spelled out in the book doesn't mean a DM can't change or add to it.While the FR gives alot of good detail and info on the various regions of Faerun, there is still a whole lot that can be filled in. Obviously, the book can't and doesn't contain info on every town, village, provence, and city. If you really think about it, there is plenty of room for the DM to fill in his own stuff. I usually use the FR setting when I DM, and even though I do stick to the book pretty well, I fill in alot of my own material too. I haven't felt overwhelmed by the amount of setting detail at all.And as to your question, I am only familiar with the 2nd and 3rd edition versions of FR, and I have seen very little, if any, difference between the two. I can say I prefer the 3rd edition, simply because the core setting book was so well put together. But I still reference the 2nd edition books for more specific regional information. The two versions go hand in hand, and the only thing that really changed in the conversion to 3rd edition was the addition of feats, new stats for the signature characters and such - basically just mechanics. They have updated the storyline a little bit, but you don't have to follow along with what they do unless you really want to.</blockquote>
