Hi, I like playing Avatar-Origins best. However the downside of playing as one of the Origins is how very quiet the world suddenly gets since most of the banter, which the character would otherwise be included in, does not play anymore. I am currently playing Avatar-Gale again and my act 2 has been so extremely quiet because Gale usually seems to be the one who’s chatting with just about everyone.
I understand that some of the party banter does not make sense if you choose an Origin as your Avatar because the relationship between the characters can be very different from what it usually is. Wyll comes to mind, who is somewhat antagonistic towards Companion-Astarion while being deeply enamored with Avatar-Astarion’s luscious locks. However, it is a shame that banter which reveals character quirks or offers background information also gets removed. For example the conversation Astarion, Gale and Wyll have about Cazador gives background information for Astarion’s story which isn’t any less valuable if you play as one of the boys. Lae’zel and Shadowheart’s conversation about “burying the hatchet” would be a nice addition for Shadowheart, who has just resolved her conflict Lae’zel peacefully. Even some of the romance dialogues would be super cute if they happened between the Avatar and their love interest - take Lae’zel asking romanced Shadowheart about hair braiding, or Gale offering romanced Astarion blood after the Cazador fight (minus Astarion’s last line of course).
So, long story short, it would be great if you could include Avatar-Origins in more of the party banter.
