Well said. Well here's hoping that Larian allows you to build the character you wish. Myself? Play the origins characters Gale or Wyll. Or my own character of a Tiefling Warlock with the Fiend Patron or a High Elf/Drow Wizard specialising in the enchantment school of magic.
What would your preferred character look like?
I honestly din't played much 5e to have a honest opinion. TBH most origins characters doesn't take much attention from me.
I am personally hoping for, wishing for, Hexblade patron. While frowned upon as a powerful one level dip, I've been quite enjoying playing just straight Hexblade, and I would love to recreate the warlock I've been playing in tabletop recently.
Would be lovely if we could get the melee cantrips as well (Booming and Green-Flame Blade) but I won't hold my breath.
Pact of the blade seems interesting BUT i really miss the Eldritch Glaive. Best melee ability ever from 3.5e.
