True, and we did discuss it at length somewhere on the forum. But the bottom line is that this one isn't gonna go away anytime soon. And this system is actually really really popular. Much more than you might think. Is it popular for the right reasons? Who knows.. but I do know many many many of the casual fans of DOS2 (casual in the sense they aren't posting too many feedback topics) really love it
Anything looks great when the alternative is poorly done. Likewise, anything looks bad when the alternative is well done. :P
Like I've said with my mass edits, the origin system worked well for what it did in DOS2. But I see it as nothing but a massive resource sink in the context of what BG3 aims to achieve in comparison, for something that is ultimately meant to limit the player experience to encourage multiple playthroughs, and additionally comes at the expense of the overall experience in each playthrough.
