I don't know if it's in the works, but one of the features of the old BG games was the option to create an entire starting party instead of just the main character. I'd love to see this implemented; my personal preference is to not use any of the origin characters if possible, because I very much like making my own DnD characters. Anyone know if this is already being talked about? If not, I think it'd make a great addition to the game.

Also a party size of 6 would be nice but I'm not going to lose any sleep over it.

If I remember correctly, they said in an interview sometime that custom parties will be a thing, just not at launch of EA.

For now there is a workaround...

Launch the game(on minimum gfx settings to save the pc struggling) and start a multiplayer lobby. Tab out of the game and launch the game via the main exe file in the steam local directory and join the game via lan. Do this again until you have a full party.
Launch the campaign and switch between instances of the game making the party how you like. Click venture forth with all 4 instances with the game. As soon as the cinematic starts save the game on the 'host', then quit as players on the other 3.

And there you have a custom party.(at this point you can turn the gfx back up)

That's some clever programmer logic right there.
