To me, the real meaty question boils down to, are custom character combinations going to have their own set of pre-programmed permutations box set that is wholly and separately (to varying degrees at least) divergent from origins, or rather, can I experience things on a custom that I can't or won't on a given origin? Let's take Gale, a human male wizard....if I create say a female high elf wizard with a completely different background from Gale's, am I going to experience different possibilities and permutations within the overall box set, that Gale never would/could if I played as him instead?
If Larian's answer to that ^ (whether in an interview question or eventually discovered over time through gameplay experience down the road) is a yes, I'll be satisfied, speaking for myself. But all that remains to be seen at this early stage.
This is the question that I asked, or at least intended to ask, in the original post and all posts thereafter and I agree with t the sentiment, obviously. As long as there are unique things that only custom characters experience, I'm very happy to see origin characters with their custom stories as well. More options is never a bad thing. I'm just asking for custom characters to be handled with the same level of TLC as origin characters so that we can choose unique characteristics in character creation and see unique results in game no matter what type of character we feel like making.
