To all above: while I understand from where you coming there is one problem by my opinion and as far as I saw not only my.
Larian already started things as being epic and us surrounded by all the epic stuff and epic companions. And that's what creates a bit of a plot hole if our character is total nobody. Why those epic guys listening to nobody and calling him/her their leader?
I'm not suggesting to stress till it will become annoying that our character is special too, but close that gap between the world around epic and our character epic.
I can imagine somewhat opposite approach: show more clear how our CC struggles to lead our companions. But that may not work for some players' head-canon backstories.

Personally I'm fine with both options as long as their implementation comes at high quality.
