disclaimer that im not a fan of the origin character concept to begin with, but idk if larian doesnt care about the story - i just get the feeling that they are so invested in their vision for the tadpole plot and working in the writers own origin characters to fit that story that any changes we can expect are more qol or gameplay mechanics.
i just dont see larian making much changes to the tadpole/absolute plot (which i think has general pacing and story route issues) at this point in the game largely due to the emphasis being placed on origin characters and if there are significant changes to the story/narrative then its likely that the writers characters/companions will also need revisions, which could be another big undertaking - to the continued detriment to folks who prefer the custom pc route. now i would like if they took a fresh look at the current storyline trajectory and see if by making any tweaks may improve the overall narrative flow, but id be surprised if larian responds to any such feedback at this stage of the game
All true. You can refer to my personal review of the game (appendices 3), but let's just say I hate the concept of origin characters who are also potential companions. It could have worked in dos2 if Larian weren't making stupid arbitrarily choices like "players have to commit to a party". But in bg3 there absolutely no reason to do the origin characters again
