I think, from playing a bit more, that based on some of the dialogues the CC does have something that distinguishes them from the others.

[spoilers]

Some of the commentary one gets about the Absolute if you play as a Drow and how some of the baddies react to your CC, (hinting at the idea that you're some kind of chosen one beyond the actual True Soul aspect of it) makes me think that there's going to be something akin to how you find out you're Bhaalspawn in the previous games. So I think the "Epicness" might very well be there already, but not revealed for a bit, and I've feeling it might not be a pleasant discovery. 😂 Which would be in the tradition of the older BG games, or similar RPGs like Planescape Torment. So my guess would be still Special, but not in a good way. If that's the case, then frankly I'd appreciate that kind of trope subversion of the typical Chosen One YA flavor — IMHO of course.

I'd still love a little "everyday routine" prologue.
