Larian has promised that custom characters would feel less generic and have a much stronger connection both to the world and the storyline in BG3 as opposed to DOS2. But so far into the early access, I feel Larian hasn't delivered on this promise beyond uncommon occasions where your race, class or deity has a minor effect on social interactions. Certainly nothing that can compare with origin characters.
But then again, I think the premise of comparing your custom character to a fully fleshed-out origin character - though understandable is ultimately unfair. Demanding the game flesh-out the player character similarly, would simply open up for way too many variables and a great deal of content most would be automatically locked out of. Or it would force a background story on the PC that many would object to. So unless Larian makes the storyline develop more around the player character as in the original series as opposed to around all companions, I foresee little improving in this regard.
