and makes playing an Origin almost mandatory to get a full story experience out of the game since custom PCs have no content.
People keep saying this but I honestly don't care that much about playing these origin stories. HAving these characters in party and witnessing their questline? Great. Playing in their role? I don't care. I'd gladly give up on having all these "Origins" playable if it just meant having A LOT more companions.
Party control in Baldur's Gate 3 is a complete mess that begs to be addressed. SAY NO TO THE TOILET CHAIN
