I mean its not *you* returning home ...
Its your character returning home ...

Doesnt really matter if that is his own house, city s/he lived in, country or continent. laugh

I mean i dunno, it just dont seem necesary to "spend some time before the game even starts" in there. O_o

First time i entered Breezehome in Skyrim, it was for both me and my character first time we have seen it ... and yet it felt like home allready. laugh
First time my Exile set her feet on Ebon Hawk in SW:KotOR, it was just for me, since she flyed on that ship previously ... and yet it felt like my own ship.
First time i re-entered "my home" in Fallout 4, i remembered that i spend there few minutes before prologue ... and i never felt home there, not even close to how i felt in Red Rocket gas station. laugh

I mean there are other ways to let us feel like home ... even if it will be first time we shall see the house and even if we will be able (and will do) to change everything there. smile

I will say that if they want to sell us on the feeling of our character returning home (and note that I say this hoping that they actually don't go through with this whole default Baldurian thing) then they're going to have to lay some kind of groundwork or it'll fall flat. If they don't want to sell that feeling, then it's totally fine. honestly though, I'm becoming steadily more convinced that they've changed their minds about the Baldurian thing. Sure we have Baldurian dialogue options, but if our being Baldurian was really going to be a major aspect of our character, there would probably have been some unmissable occurences within the story to acknowledged that, maybe allusions to what's waiting for us as a character in Baldur's Gate, possibly running into someone we would know about from the city, something along those lines. If we look at the origin characters, their side quest things have all been seeded and started in this first act, which is what a first act is meant to do, establish stuff, get the various conflicts rolling. The fact that no Baldurian stuff has been established for us makes me think it's not coming. Or if it does, then it'll just start in act 2, which would be poor writing.
