You are not a nobody class wise in BG1/2. You have been teached for years at candlekeep. This is why you are a level 1 *class* and not a total nobody. Then you progress slowly when you are using your skills for real (>< training).
In total war 1 turn is 6 months in game time. Buildings usually takes years to be build, units takes months to train and armies move slowly between towns and villages.
It may never be fully "realistic" but at least it is consistent / coherent.
The "in game time" data in BG3 is mostly inexistant and so is our character background so I don't really understand why you raised this point.
Such an epic opening could not be a problem in my opinion but as Gray Ghost said : only if it was another character's point of view and if the story slowly makes you understand why this is linked to your character (main character development).
Another solution could be to make everything coming next even more epic but in the end it would be nauseating.
Our character(s) development in act 1 is way too short (to inexistant). The only thing we learn is that as a few other chosen characters in the world : we are not going turn into mindflayer... and you learn that very soon.
