If I make a custom character I am making that character to go on an adventure and it's my adventure. I want to be the hero. I don't think that is an unreasonable or big ask especially because it IS early access and now is the time where they can change it without having to retcon later.


So you want it to be a power fantasy.

Where did you get that from?

Are you under the impression that being the hero means no trials or tribulations? No struggle? No prejudice or ramifications? Because as I stated clearly if I am making a custom character then it is my adventure and I should be afforded the choice. I never gave any sort of sentiment that could be misconstrued as me asking to change the way the world or other characters react to me or any changes to the story at all and it would not affect my ability to also play an origin character and play through their adventure and their interpretation of the hero's journey. Would you like me to point you towards examples of the hero's journey that are not power fantasies? Furthermore, if the origin characters get to be Larians power fantasy, why can I not have my own?

I am here to discuss a video game. Please do not try to rope me into anything other than that. Thank you.
