WTF was Viconia Evil in BG3

[RunningWolf]

Bioware wrote those endings, but they aren't canon.

More like everything that happens outside of BG2 and TOB aren't canon. Those characters are gone together with their writers. Whatever WotC and Larian say after is just fanfiction.

You are free to have your head canon, but Bioware was not the Forgotten Realms license holder and it's ultimately the license holder that decides what's canon in their universe.

Hah, letting WotC dictate what happens in a D&D license is almost as stupid as letting Disney dictate what is canon in Star Wars.

Ha a 20 year late sequel made by a different studio has absolutely nothing to do with Baldurs Gate 1 or 2.

At some point you have to face reality and admit that the things you cherish are held hostage by those who wish to see you suffer.

You think you make a lot of sense, but every word you said is a kike gibberish. Just because you own a Picassos painting doesn't mean you get to define its meaning and release your scribbles as "Picasso 2". The "canon" is whatever original creator put into their work, everything else is fanfiction.

"Minsc and Boo's Journal of Villainy" did reek of fanfiction and had no input from Gaider and others who wrote the original games.

If is canon or not all hinges on technicallity, since WOTC owns the IP and oficially printed this shit. I suppose Roguey is right though. Larian had to follow official WOTC content, even in detriment to the original games.

Bioware is not the original creator of the Forgotten Realms. They told a story in a world that didn't belong to them. You can always enjoy that work as is, but it can be altered (as Beamdog did with the EEs and the interquel expansion) and future creators can take it any direction they choose (as Larian did with WotC's approval).

I'm sure there were some old curmdgeons who thought this Bhaalspawn business was the fan fiction to how they preferred the Realms.
