It's not origin characters themselves that I don't like, it's that if they're going to have them then Larian should be up front about it. Just say "hey, you're going to have a more immersive experience playing as an Origin character, that is what we designed to give you the best experience, but if you want to roleplay a blank slate then that's an option too." Right now it feels likt they want to say the Origin's are bonuses, but that doesn't really hold water when you get more origins and each origin has a unique experience you can't get with a custom character.
