Thatks, I think, one of things I really miss in Larian writing. All the best RPGs I can think of, might not always be the most reactive, but give player more space to express and define their characters. If we don’t have a complete amnesiac/haven’t seen the world blank hero, being able to add a little bit definition goes such a long way to create an link with our hero.

PoE1 had such a delightful opening. On top of our country of origin and background during the character creation, you get a nice conversation going with your tutorial companion, where you can further define your background, and some of those choices can even pay off with unique flavour lines to pick.
