The church intro is one thing, but the tree guy could easily be done in the context of "investigating the state of the Starting City". The rest of the story is basically about them freeing the city from the tyranny of a corrupt army, so showing how poor the lives of the people here are serves a relevant role. It doesn't need to follow things scene-by-scene. We've already seen the writers willing to completely change things in some of the earlier stories.
