Hey Larian! smile
The game is looking fantastic so far in Early Access!

For the main release of the game, can you please consider more Origin Characters please? I know this can be difficult, and adds a lot more work for your team, but it would really be appreciated!
Right now it's fine as is, but with only 5 character choices, it could make replays of the game very stale as your party would be very similar each time.

Maybe a Bard, Monk, and a Barbarian Origin character?

Just a little more variety will be greatly appreciated and will prevent the player from kind of being forced to keep the same party with each play through.

For instance, Shadowheart is kind of required in each party since she's your only healing option. You could make a PC healer to replace her, but that's kind of your only option. A wizard *could* take the healer role by learning enough healing spells through scrolls.
The community would really appreciate a few more options to make different party builds a little more interesting smile



Similar request, is it possible to make customizable origin characters (stats, abilities, starting class)
I know this may break some of the immersion; example being if you make Shadowheart's starting class a barbarian, and in the cutscenes she's still talking about her goddess, but this way the player can enjoy a personalized party, AND keep the personality and narrative of the origin characters.
Thanks for taking the time to read smile

From what the developers have previously said, they seem to be aiming for 12-13 companions (maybe not all as origin characters with deep backstory, but still). And all the Player's Handbook classes should be in the game eventually, surely those additional companions will add to class variety as well. As to when they'll be ready, who knows. They've also said they'll look into making the origin characters more customizable, but no specific details or confirmation yet.

I actually really hoping the other companions will not be an origin characters. It will only improve the story


Larian's Biggest Oversight, what to do about it, and My personal review of BG3 EA
"74.85% of you stood with the Tieflings, and 25.15% of you sided with Minthara. Good outweighs evil, it seems."
