But if I´m going to be an spectator or a passenger in the journey of a character some guy imposed to me, I prefer a book or a movie, not a RPG. If possible, If I´m playing a D&D adventure I want to play my character, not someone else´s, no matter how deep or well written the character is.
This's exactly what the wee DND player inside of me is saying.
As I stated, I have my misgivings about the origin system (something I was not happy about when they announced it), because I want to create my own character, just like in tabletop. On the other hand, I console myself with the stuff I typed out in the previous posts, that this origin pcs thing potentially could be a great opportunity for the writers to shine.
It all depends on the array of origin heroes we will get. Lets hope they will be a good bunch (I am really intrigued by the duo origin stories, those two who have a close link to each other, like potential siblings or a married couple maybe, that could be so interesting narratively, and something truly unique). Or you can build your own custom hero and that will be cool, too.
