Hi, im playing BG3 non-stop since released, and yes, loving it, even tho i do think it needs more in some aspects (mainly character creation).
Im here to make a very complicated request, if possible, make it some backstory to the custom character, YES, leaving it vague can be GREAT for roleplayers like me, to insert whatever story we want, BUT this works better at the tabletop game, where the DM can make plot hooks where your PC can fullfil his desire, or revenge or whatever, even before the main bad guy is around, or maybe the DM bring some NPCs from your backstory to make the player more invested.
Sadly this can not work, at least not so easly in a PC game, the whole story is already made, every quest already programed, but maybe, we can ''fix'' this! How? Well, make a predetermined backstory for each race!
I LOVE how my race and class in BG3 make a difference in the world around me, so it just make more evident what my character is lacking when compared to others! Lae had her crech, Astarion, was a vampire in baldurs gate, they feel like they had a life before the events of the game, but the Custom character does not!
In DAO they made so your race and class affect where you begin, this is a start, im NOT saying to make a new prologue for each race, but, maybe each race have some kind of NPC or personal quest/quests they get to move forward and even become more complete characters, their own challenges, their own inspirations before the tadpole!
Anyway, i know this is a BIG request, and i know this is the kind of request where the writing team will hate me, but if possible this would make the Custom character more, relatable, and we as player would feel more empathy to the character.
In conclusion, love your game, but the custom character backstory could be more implemented in the game. Thank you for everything!
