The OP is of course entirely correct. The level of fanboyism in this thread is disgusting. Most posts are basically "How DARE you care! How DARE you imply not everything in this game is perfect! How DARE you use the game's official FORUMS to express your OPINION!"
So disappointing. Can't handle someone pointing out a flaw in the game, or disagreeing with you?
Does anyone have an ACTUAL argument for why anyone would EVER choose a custom character over an origin character, from a mechanical perspective and not a perspective of "what does it matter, you shouldn't care"? Like, an ACTUAL reason why a custom origin is in any way BETTER?
(BTW there is one, technically- if you want 2 undead in your party but don't want to control all dialogue you need to be a custom undead so Fane is there to recruit. I mean that's not exactly a glowing recommendation (it's more about the game's limitations than any actual boon for the custom character), but hey, it is a reason why one would make that choice)
Same problem happend in EA, magic armor and environmental effects were ridiculous but loads of people are somehow fine with stunlocking the enemies from turn one until death approach, it is head scratching. These are legitimate suggestions so you better refute with a legitimate reason.
