I expected a system similar to DA:O, where you picked "Dwarf Noble" or "Human Commoner" and some story elements were added for those specific origins, and TBH, that LOOKS like what they've done, you select the [Generic] origin tag, but you can select other tags to add to your own kind of "Custom" origin, Such as [Noble] [Thief], or [Noble][Merchant]. Just because you don't get a specific story for your "Custom" origin doesn't make it any less amazing.

As a matter of fact, thinking about it now - DA:O origins were basically pre-gen characters that you got to rename and customize, as they all had a specific origin story shared between them (Both Human Noble origins were the same, only slightly different between male/female.)
