2. Give him something special... being a spawn of a god had a nice touch laugh.. and involve him in a special way in the main plot

(you could even skip 1. and let the start be as it is but add some specials for the pc e.g. let him choose a origin story - with quests and all - that no companion has)

now you add non origin companion for a more natural party development in later parts of the story and I would argue it feels more like BG


Yup, that sounds like the right idea there... and since we got that whole "who do you dream about" stuff already in the game, maybe that is something that will actually come for custom characters. Maybe that someone is a personal from the prologue! A tragic death, followed by haunting memories throughout the story, maybe? Would explain the greek/roman outfit that character has, maybe visions from Elysium or something? I actually didn't consider that before...


I'll agree an origin story for custom characters would be lovely, hard no to CHOSEN One though, keep it simple. Not though for ones like Wyll, Shadowheart, Ast, Gale, and La (uggg remembering there names is so hard. Can't I just call them what I do in game. Mr. Overcompensating, Fickle Bitch, Annoying Emo, Needs stabbed repeatedly, Bitchy Wench) I feel it would be more hurtful to add their origin story to a proluge then the current way of slowly opening them up to your character.
