Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - General Will there be Non-pregenerated character Origins?

As far as I understand, this is all linked to his trait/tag. If your character is tagged as a woman, you will potentially have access to a couple of quests unique to women, for example.

So I think what you want (and I want) is for them to create some tags for use by the custom character only that allow you to make the character more fun to play.

I expect that if they haven't done this yet, it's only because the game is still in Alpha.

Origin Stories: You’ll have a choice of several origin stories, each one a pre-made past for your character, which will ground them in the world you’re exploring. You might meet people who’ve heard of your story, or suffered a similar fate. You might meet some old friends to help you on your way, or cross paths with those who have a score to settle. The origin stories bring a rich, deep narrative to the game, which compliments the world and gives you lots more options for how you can interact with the people around you.
