Larian puts a huge amount of time into writing pre-determined stories for characters that we won't ever play. It's weird that they put so much effort into a closed storyline, especially now that they are using 5E as the base of the game. So I think it's fair to complain that character identities and alignments aren't designed to be more customizable so that some of that story content will apply to all custom characters instead of only being delivered to people who choose to play someone else's character design...
