I like origin characters. I am agree with most opinions about that our story should occupy much more place in lore.
But asking "why origin character?" is seems like me little bit unfair. I was really enjoy when playing origin companions along with me. Their story are mostly thoughtful and enjoyable to discover.
And game looks more uncontrollable and serious while there are people that actually their story would not intertwined if you doesn't exist. They have their own weightiness and ı can feel if ı push myself that they are actually my co op partners in an existence way somehow.
I just mean that ı dont want to be responsible for every characteristic backlines in the game, so ı need that origins to feel more alive in game.
