Hey all! I was a big fan of the first game and I wasn’t even aware the new one had already come out. I've been checking it out but I'll admit I was a bit disappointed about the origin characters. Not that they're bad but I kinda feel like there was a small step backwards in terms of character customization in this game from what I've seen so far.
Now that was a complaint from the first game I am aware of. Some people didnt like that there was a lack of "content" with the companion characters which I didnt mind so much. But one thing I loved about the first game is that you had a customized companion and had a story with them, its still one of the most unique things I've ever seen in a game. That and they had a story with your other companions too.
Well I see now you can only have your custom character really have interaction with the origin characters. So female lizards and dwarfs and the like cant be your companions, other than buyable npcs, and be a part of the story, which was a cool feature of the first game even if they were only human. I understand the direction of the origin characters, they give a lot more content for the story and stuff. But they do feel restrictive in the sense that there are alot more characters now and that look interesting too but you cant really interact with them.
So I purpose a future idea for content if you dont look at this and completely dismiss this as stupid. But maybe for like future content dlc or something, it would be cool if you could maybe create a custom companion, maybe like you create them, any race, gender, etc and they show up in the game as a quest and they could become your companion and have story, romance, etc. They could just have text dialogue too but I just thought it was a cool feature in the first game, of creating a custom companion, that was understandably lost to improve the content of the game. Im sure many people already hate and this idea already lol.
