I will give you this. This is why I think you should only be able to pick Zombie at the creation screen. You can have your custom character's backstory be WHATEVER you want it to. If I want to pretend I have 4 players that are a family of undead, that SHOULD be an option.
I do agree simply "CHOOSING" Zombie past the creation screen makes no sense. It should only be acquired through special events if not chosen at the very beginning.
Why couldn't that special event be the origin skill of the undead race? The way zombie works now...it make's no sense how you make a family of 4 undead. Without Larian expanding how undeath works,most go to stereotypes promoted by WoW and Walking Dead,where you need some necromancer to use his own version of revive or undeath is a curse/disease that you curse.
An origin skill that costs source points is the best initiator in my opinion,because Zombie (as seen in D:OS 1 and as hinted by the outcries of the comunity) is that good of a talent and acess to it should be restricted. A couple of weeks back I saw someone post here that the game is soloable on explorer with a wand dual wielding zombie high wits and int mage,with memory as the only dump stat, should I ever find that post, I will throw the link here and let the community debate if maybe it is for the best that zombie becomes the racial for undead.
