Why does WotC put obviously bad or illogical elements in their adventures?

[QUOTE="Hriston, post: 7197897, member: 6787503"] My point was never that the Hill Giant guards were put into the adventure for the reasons I've given. I've been clear from the beginning that I'm merely speculating on some possible reasons to help the OP understand how that particular decision may have been made. You, on the other hand, have made the assertion that it couldn't possibly be the case, unless I've misunderstood you. I agree that this conversation has gotten ridiculous and am happy to end it after addressing your points below. Have a nice day! Yes. At that point, before that, and afterwards Lear favors Cordelia and no other as the joy of his life. There is ample evidence that SKT is inspired by [I]King Lear[/I] and "Lear the Giant-King" from statements by the people who worked on and promoted it. If J. K. Rowling made a public statement about the works that inspired her to write [I]Harry Potter[/I], there would be no reason to doubt her honesty barring some glaring inconsistency with reality. I don't believe you've demonstrated any such inconsistency between SKT and the statements of its authors. [/QUOTE]
