Just a suggestion on the atmosphere of the starting area.
The scene where the Nautiloid ships travels through a portal and crashes would potentially be better if it were set at night or during a storm. It would be more cinematic if the ship on fire was lighting up the night/dark sky and help with the ominous/darker tone the Baldur's Gate series.
The starting beach feels too hospitable (minus the crashed ship) and almost too similar to the post-tutorial beach area of DOS2, having a storm or night setting until players find the Grove would set up a nice contrast to the brightness and magical feel of the Grove.
Could also help with with criticisms the game feels to much like DOS2 at times some players have.
