... but I'll certainly never use one of the pregens (as party NPCs, sure, but I will never choose to play as one). I would much rather have seen/heard of Larian putting all that effort into creating compelling options for player created characters...but what's done is done and I'm sure it'll be good enough.
I agree with your points mostly. I am going to try Astarion, during early access only. I was already planning on playing an Arcane Trickster for my first run, he fits.
