Yes, there should be more references to what has happened to us, in camp dialogs, if no where else. Did we have friends in that town, etc.
I seriously missed something haha, what town?
We are taking about the cinematic where the ship fly over the town, snatching up people. I am assuming that where we got picked up but now thinking about that why would a Drow be there? I have no idea where my Drow was snatched from.
Anyway, the background is at the beginning the ship is snatching up people to then implant these modified tadpoles in.
You are right that it is not just the town show in the cinematic because we have Goblins and Minthara with tadpoles. The Mindflayers must be snatching people from several areas.
Yeah, they grabbed some school teachers and stuff too, but a surprising amount of special people as well. The big event that has recently happened was the entire city of Elturel got teleported to the hells into the clutches of Zariel and was recently returned. Its why youre seeing so many refugees. The Grand Duke of BG disappeared with the city as well and BG was going to be next - the entire city was walled off with refugees from Elturel outside its walls Woodstock style.
So, there are a few things recently that might ignore some close encounters of the third kind activity
edit: for cinematic are you talkin about the teaser trailer where they show the nautiloid above BG? Im not sure where that falls in the timeline of this, exactly. The intro doesnt show anything of the kind iirc
edit 2: im an idiot it was Yartar
