I for one, wouldn't mind if we get a full customise option where:
Every stat is set at min stat like 7.
Skill slots are all set blank(or question mark).
The minimum stats for a starting character are 10 before racials and initial distribution. I hope you're not suggesting that it would be a good option to have companions permanently weaker.
Oops, typo! It should've been 10.

Thx for the correction. I just mean: leave everything at minimum a stat can get.
If Larian has a lot of time, maybe they can even do like presets... lol. (Just saw something like this from NWN1 though I won't be playing more of that game.) And then provide a "Customise" button for those who want to.
