Am I missing something? Was the city in the intro not Baldur's Gate?

That was indeed a different city, although close to Baldurs Gate if I remember right (someone analyzed the trailer when it came out). Not that physical distance matters much to a plane hopping ship.

I wonder how the ship was even able to abduct people from Baldurs Gate as this city is far from defenseless.
