I understood your point perfectly.
I then proceeded to challenge it using simple reasoning.

If you believe otherwise I welcome the explanation.


Simple reasoning that not only didn't relate to what I said but also didn't relate to what the people I was replying to said? I'm good. Going by your post history I can see why you teachers gave up on teaching you what a tangent is.

You stated that you did not understand his point about needing a cleric to which he replied that the main purpose of the class is to be healers and support. Your counter point to this was that there are consumables and other sources of healing to which I asked you if you don't think that one of the major classes of the game being, as you so eloquently put it, dead weight is not a matter of concern to you and something that needs addressing. This is a direct follow through on your reasoning using your own words. I'll not be enabling your insults if thats alright with you.'

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.


I mean, they DO offer that. That is what the custom character is. They aren't going to remove the origin characters' stories just because you want to play El Generico and not have anyone interesting in the part. If they had a pre-prologue before the mind flayer abduction where you were made to fight some giant rats in the inn's cellar or however El Generico got his/her/their start, would that be better?

My comment was directly related to the person I quoted. Their own estimation was that a custom character does not feel as involved as the origin characters but was also motivated by how the companions are shoe horned in and played as main characters themselves. I didn't ask for any changes to be made, I asked for the option to be given to me to play my hero's story without having to play theirs. I will admit I should have probably expanded on this by asking for the choice to start without any of them and not have them show up in game. I am playing a custom character with a bunch of NPC's that have more interaction and tangible significance than my own. This is not the same thing.

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