Oh yes, this, please... bump up the starting lvl for the main story to 3 and give us 1-2 hours of prologue per origin story... it would also soften the punch of meeting all those super special "DM's nightmare" characters later. We know it's you first foray into the Realms, Larian, but you really can't go that allout from the outset in this setting, as you could in your own, it's charring!
