In my 165 hours of playing DOS2, I've only played custom origin characters. Why? Because I can name them. There you go. Thread won.
That's really it though. I prefer to be "Morghul the Undying", and make my character look like some pasty white Translyvania-looking guy, or "Hutch", the Dwarven bounty hunter, and so on.
Playing as an origin character, I'm locked to a preset name, and my idea of who the character is already limited from the start. So I prefer to make a custom character and experience the origin characters as companions, as that feels more natural.
