nu-dnd high fantasy nonsense means that level 1 adventurers are no longer regular people with some vague affinity, but they're all skilled magical fighters who can learn dozens of spells most of which they literally can cast for free for some reason

But the opening cinematic is the nautiloid literally capturing regular people in Yartar

sorcerer has its power come from a higher plane of existence source and/or ancestry.
wizard is a scholar who studied a lot and studies a lot to learn magic
warlock makes a contract with an amoral/evil being for power

Well how does a peasant commoner play exactly? You can simply have a peasant commoner background as any d&d class. Also you can just be a nobody commoner in Mount and Blade. Or in Kenshi. Even Gothic 1 starts you off as a no-skill nobody, might as well pretend you were a peasant.
But either way you gain combat skills along your journey, so I don't think that background even matters beyond early game flavour.

yes, a level 1 bard is literally just a dude who can play music, a level 1 wizard knows one "cantrip" spell he can cast once per day (like light), fighters were the only class able to wield swords (only shortswords maybe a shield at level 1), initially there literally was only 2 classes and magic-users

Sorcerers are from an unusual ancestry and control innate magic through force of personality, wizards study an art and a science that utilizes specific mental and spiritual technologies to direct magic, warlocks practice pharmakeia and make pacts with extraplanar beings to acquire magical gifts and services. Saying they're all the same is like saying a chef is the same as an engineer.

Good post, I think a cook and a baker would make a better comparison. They seem the same when it comes to the end result, but the way they get there is very different.
