Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - General This game seems to hate Custom Origins (Venting)

This game seems to have a particularly dislike for Custom Origins so far.

They have almost no original content, even their tags are extrapolations of the Pre-set Origin personalities (unless this has been fixed up).

Other characters get special quests, abilities, options but the custom origins don't. Custom origins don't get special events or unique features.

Custom Undead do not start the game off with access to their essential gear... The Origin Undead character does (And might even NEED to join the party in order for you to access it).

Time Warp, the best origin skill and the most flexible, given to Custom Origins in Early Access and given to the Origin Undead character (and in fact likely always intended to). Instead they get a supportive over time AoE armor heal.

Want extra exp at the start of the game without murdering random people? Not as a custom origin!

I could be wrong, and I hope I am... (In fact I THINK Fane gives you the recipe if you just talk to him)

But Custom Origins are this game's 7th playable character. They really should have been treated that way.

Don't take this topic too seriously.

I am just frustrated because for me Custom Origins are where my attention is at and where I want to pour myself into. I would rather play my own character than one thrust upon me.

Yet the game actively rewards the Origins and ignores customs.

So I am just venting my frustration.
