Neonivek;
I didn't say it couldn't be done, just that doing it that way would put restrictions on how it could be done. That's fine if that is all there is; the direct comparison with specifically crafted characters, quests, relationships, etc, may leave such origins a little lacking.
Note that I have not actually looked up the current state of the origins, and haven't been following the writers' progress. They may have a different opinion on the value of writing specific origins around nonspecific characters.
That is sad... and honestly takes away the ENTIRE point of origins for me.
If the kickstarter said "You can play pre-generated characters with origins... Or your own with no origin" No one would have supported that. As opposed to "You can have your own origin!" the kickstarter advertised.
This makes me wanting to know the answer to the question all the more...
