It's like having the entire cast of a story be a chosen one (Divinity OS2 did this, but the plot revolved around that rather than something entirely different (tadpole)).

It true DnD fashion - every PC is a protagonist. When you play on the tabletop with three other players, you don't just have one protagonist - everyone is one. Though you don't control their dialogue responses to your created character, you otherwise are controlling the entire party.

I'm playing DnD for more than 20 years now, but none of us players have such an over-the-top backstory. Maybe one character had that but he was a demon, so that was OK.
