My main concern at this point is the fact that they are including "origin characters" with a pre-defined backstory. That's DOS2, not BG3. BG games are about rolling what ever race/class combination you want to play, and have the world react to you, based on what you do, how you accomplish it, and to some extent what your race & class is.
This is a rather weird complaint, given that:
- Origin stories are entirely optional and something that adds without subtracting anything in process.
- Nothing about these "origin stories" was ruleset-specific in principle. You could apply a similar concept to pretty much any RPG.
On a side note I played DOS 2 both with and without one of these origin story character.
It doesn't make as much as a difference as some seem to think it does.
It's just having a couple of lore-specific additional interactions here and there across the entire campaign.
I'm not even saying people should LIKE origin stories, just pointing that their existence is essentially irrelevant and there should be far more meaningful things to concern about.
