I agree.
In BG1 and especially BG2 the main antagonist was shown as deadly and extremely dangerous.
Sarevok slaying Gorion, Irenicus turning shadow thieves and wizards into bloody gibs like it was nothing, - they commanded respect.
Inevitable confrontation with them loomed ahead as something not to be taken lightly.
And what we have here?
A character, who has barely 5 minutes ago got his ass handed to him by a bunch of lame goblins, goes all chest-puffing "I'll rip out you tongue!" to a fucking devil!
And every branch of the dialog before that had at least one option like "die by my hand, lol".
Have the devils in 5E Forgotten Realms become just as common and dangerous as some snotty street punks?
But instead of teaching the protagonist a lesson of humility and respect, the devil just waves it off.
Of course it's too early to judge, maybe if it actually did get to a combat, the things would be different.
But I hope that the character won't get "I'm the center of the multiverse" attitude right from the beginning of the game.
well consider that the city of Elturel have been teleported in avernus....
Devils are just like call center:
“Hello mr. adventurer can i make you an offer? For the small prime of ONE soul i can give you.....”
Like that 8-9 times a day.
