If it gets to that point where things get crazy - that is great. But I'd love to experience the city before all hell breaks loose.
We see a big ship break the main watch tower, kill (as far as they see) dozens of people from every social group then get chased by dragons
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.
It seems to be the only source that says its Yartar though. The images used are all from Baldur's Gate 3 (but no concrete sources or reasons given).
For personal reference, the update that added the images from BG3 and details in the "History" section were added at 11:40PM, 2 March 2020 by Ruf67 (an admin of the fandom).
Are there any official sources for this? I personally can't find any.
Why was that connection made with Yartar ? Is this based on the official descriptions of the two cities compared with Baldur's Gate 3's opening cinematic?
Because of those questions, at this point, from my perspective, this feels more like speculations and a fan just decided to make it "official" on the fandom wiki 🫤
I'm asking because I'm legitimately curious btw 😅 That would be interesting if true!
