Something else that this video kind of confirmed for me is that act one really does seem to be a big setup for getting to Baldur's Gate. I've been saying that all of act one is really focused on funnelling us to the city, and the way they talked in the trailer seems to confirm that they see it that way as well. Which I think is a bit of a shame since it leaves the area feeling kind of... disconnected. Just a transitional place when the first act of a game should be setting up the setting more than they have done thus far.
