We need SOCIAL to be just as fleshed out as combat. Same with Exploration. Why are there endless possibilities in Combat but not simple things to make it feel that way in social. Allow the math to apply there. You dont need to have more voice acting. You just need to apply adjustments to the roll and a system to back it up. All characters should have input. ALL of our lives are at stake here... that tadpole is going to change us into a monster. We need our voices heard. Why have a bard if its just for combat... who the hell likes a low level bard in combat? We need that bard to talk and dance and cast the spells MID conversation... We also need him to do the checks to see who is worth talking too based on Knowlegdge check. Otherwise we are just clicking on NPC after NPC and wasting hours for no XP or rewards. Also is the way it is implemented now fun? NO!! But in tabletop the funnest part of the streams is the BANTER not the combat every single time. Think about some of your favorite RPG memories... was it the quest? The companions? Or was it how good you did the attack? Did your choice in BG1 or 2 Or dragon Age origins not matter?
DID we not dream of fleshed out CUSTOM characters? We where assured we lost nothing by creating them. Yet... it seems conversations are lacking with a party of Customs. ONLY ORIGIN CHARACTERS have any kind of development and it is sad.
Why is my criminal background not mentioned in story? Could that not be something to be redeemed? What about the racist Noble wizard? Could he not have people mention NObles are assholes? I feel like I am 4 unnamed placeholder characters missing out on the real game... due to the fact the budget seems to be going for Origin NPC's no one asked for. Cool camp buddies yay... Um what about this guy. Why cant I argue with this guy just as often? Why not get my ideals and bonds like in 5e? I can do nothing but WIZARD check?
