From the historic side i find Middle Earth much better, because the history is much more detailed an consistent. Reasons for this are of course that M.E. was created by one person and the F.R. were or are created by a lot of authors. And several "independent" novel series are playing on F.R. which don't have to do anything with the events in other novels, which also do I miss.
However, as gamemaster in PnP games, I like F.R. more then M.E. because you have more freedom in creating your adventures. This you also could have in M.E., but the players know usually more about M.E. and have their expectations.<hr></blockquote>

Possibly because the Forgotten Realms were written for a backdrop for D&D games?
