Greetings Larian team and community.
When creating a character I hope we should be able to choose our own equipment besides the class preset. 5E has starting gold rules per class, would like to choose which weapon I want to start with my character, armor and even support equipment like healing kits or potions. I know you start stuck in the Illithid spaceship(just kidding with the name dont kill me) but you could simply add a chest with the starting gear that you picked during the character creation, even if the later in game will allow you to mess around with your equipment, the fun of crafting your character is giving player agency to his personality and besides the way of talking of your character you can express it through preparation and martial prowess.
