I mean yes it's a fantasy game but I assume that's not the normal week at the gate city?
Kidnap, not kill. You can see the people appearing on Nautoloid with the same effect. The city in cinematic isn't Baldur's gate. It's Yartar (https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Yartar). That's not a normal week for the city, but in general for Faerun setting it's normal to have some conflicts boiling and exploding all the time. Check the history part of that wiki-link for example.
