Baldur\u2019s Gate 3\u2019s Faerun continent should have collapsed a long time ago Larian StudiosBaldur\u2019s Gate 3 players believe that with everything its Faerun setting has endured, the continent should\u2019ve collapsed long ago. In BG3, players spend much of their time traversing across the continent of Faerun. The magical setting plays host to more than its fair share of stunning locales, but calamitous events regularly plague them. As such, one player can\u2019t help but wonder how Faerun\u2019s still standing. It should\u2019ve \u201ccollapsed a long time ago,\u201d they argued in an increasingly popular Reddit post. The Redditor shared the following thought, \u201cI am not familiar with the lore but considering all the things you get to know in the game, how is that continent still settled and thriving?\u201d World-ending cults, hell spawns who wreak havoc with abandon, and free-roaming dragons suggest Faerun should be avoided at all costs. Trade networks and civilized society don\u2019t seem to make sense here as a result. It\u2019s the same argument people often make about Gotham or Metropolis. However, some Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 fans in the Reddit thread believe the adventures are what keep Faerun up and running. \u201cIt\u2019s fine, adventurers save the day,\u201d reads one comment that has even more upvotes than the original post. Another person remarked that the sheer number of adventurers especially helps in this regard. \u201cBeing an adventurer is almost common, very well paid, very high-risk job. There are usually a lot of guilds. You see a lot of young adventurers. Very few retired adventurers.\u201d Others pointed out how Faerun is a small piece in the grander scheme because the rest of the world is so huge. \u201cThe world is absurdly big, the entire sword coast which the game takes place in is the size of El Salvador in the Americas. Practically so small that everywhere else won\u2019t be affected.\u201d Someone else mentioned that while players see constant streams of chaos, the outside world doesn\u2019t get a whole lot of action. \u201cThere\u2019s plenty of mundane farming villages where the most exciting thing to happen in recent memory was an especially large chicken egg.\u201d Simply put, the argument seems to be that Baldur\u2019s Gate 3\u2019s Faerun has relatively easy-to-contain issues. As long as the outside world continues to thrive, this particular continent should be fine, too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
