Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General Balduran Origins for Custom/Original Characters

I'm going to be mildly disappointed if Baldurian background is forced on custom characters too. I want to make my own character have a Waterdhavian background. As I am taking part in a tabletop campaign that's centered around Waterdeep (specifically Dungeon of the Mad Mage), I am privy to certain plot points already present in BG3 that would be interesting to explore from that kind of background.
