That would be perfect.

I've played through a lot of the game lone-wolfing with a friend, so trying to start a playthrough of without the double-skilling of lone wolf and the horrible stat distribution of the recruitable origins, especially after gaining levels, has been pretty painful.

I guess I'll just get the respec mod. I don't see why a person can have custom stats by opening the client over and over, or by playing only with other people, but I can't lol.

This whole thing is also a small nitpicky issue so I don't mean to throw shade at Larian over it, though I don't see any advantage in locking the classes for act 1.
