I kinda agree with the most of u on this, guys. When they announced they will be using origin characters, I was not happy about it (as it undermines the character creation aspect of the game that is, for me at least, a major draw of a DnD inspired game).

On the other hand, I am curious to see the background-stories integrated into the narrative for the origin heroes (though I am slightly jealous cause my custom hero will never have the dream scenes and the internal narration the origins pcs will have, like Wyll getting feedback from his patron).

I am really hoping Larian will include a bigger quest line (depending on the background and the race tags like Balduran/Underdark/Planar) that better incorporates the custom heroes into the game world. It would be awesome if we could actually meet people in Baldurs Gate who recognize us and have pre-existing relationships with us.
