Okay seriously, WHAT YOU WANT IS 100% UNCLEAR. NO ONE UNDERSTANDS WHAT YOU HAVE IN MIND. NOBODY.

This is a thing that you wrote:

Yes! Ohh my goodness you understand!

That sounds EXACTLY like low quality to me. And there you were agreeing that was what you wanted.

I am tired of failing to guess the exact vision for origins that you have in your head. I give up.

I just made an account to comment on this and say I do get what they are saying. This game popped up on my radar about a week ago, and what made me excited and had me considering purchasing it was the possibility of having so much flexibility as to how the game would react to my created character. But fast forward to today, and I saw signs that the character creation might be more locked than Larian made it seem. Realistically you have the 5 pregenned characters that have more extensive dialogue options and opportunities but are locked to specific races/sexes. Then you have 1 generic one that you can have more customization with but will be missing out on nearly all the cool story dialogue and scenarios that the devs put in the game which was a major selling point. So realistically as a player you're essentially having to choose between a set character with a cool story whose class/skills you can change or one that you can really customize at the expense of story content. Those seem like two very different experiences that are very different from how Larian has been selling the game thus far. In everything I've read and watched the implication seems to be what Neonivek was saying which was that origins would be less constrained as to how much you could customize your character. When Larian advertises the game they keep saying you can pick name, gender, race, class, and origin. But realistically the options are A. Pick set Origin and Class or B. Pick Generic Origin and everything else. It just seems a lot more restrictive than they let on. There just seems to be a dramatic gap in gameplay experience between the two compared to what was being advertised and neither option seems completely satisfying.
