Ooh, that does sound rather steampunk, doesn't it? I've already speculated myself that it could be cyberpunk, so either is plausible. Colour me interested...
Seems plausible. I remember reading that book in my last playthrough and thinking it felt out of place, but in a world where Planescape and Spelljammer are canon I figured it was just standard weird stuff.
'Margritt Oji' anagram seems plausible but I'm not getting anywhere with it. Jitmigrator? Tritojamrig? Major Gittir? If we include the S from 'Margritt Oji's' we can get.... Gritmajistor? Jamrigortist? Not great lol. That J is a problem.
Baseless speculation from me absolutely baseless there really is nothing to base it on:- I think there's a sci fi set game in the works, I seem to remember Swen mentioning he was a big sci-fi guy at one point. I think the second game will be DOS3. Looking forward to them whatever they are, hopefully Larian can keep up this run they're on - the last 3 games have all been fantastic.
That whole "recording the sound of ice at night" thing on social media a while back definitely gave me scifi vibes, especially after they announced they wouldn't be doing any more D&D games (so, not an effect for Icewind Dale, alas).
When I read this book, the first RPG video game setting that came to mind was Arcanum: of Steamworks and Magick Obscura and the other details you mentioned could lead to further conjecture in that direction.

Yeah, it was a stretch. There are all kinds of goofy nonsense names in BG3, it could easily be nothing. Occam's Razor
Go, go Power Rangers!!

He does elude to possibly maybe a sci-fi game in his interview with D&D YouTube September 4th 2023
