To reiterate, I want to make a custom PC, ideally, a Human Wizard (because I want the classical 4 man party of Fighter (Lae'Zel), Rogue (Astarion), Cleric (Shadowheart), Wizard (Me)) mainly because I want to be from the city, have thoughts and opinions on what has been going on. Also, I don't trust Gale or Wyll and I need pure caster to supplement the party. I understand and enjoy the Larian approach to the Origin stories, but I prefer them as party companions. It would be like playing the original BG as Minsc or *shudder* Imoen or playing Dragon Age as Alistair, Leliana, or Morrigan. In Pathfinder Kingmaker I was happy and content to play and make a custom PC even though I didn't have an established past like the companions the fact I didn't have a 'canon' backstory allowed me to get invested and involved in the life of my PC. In Divinity Original Sin 2, I enjoyed my adventures as the Godwoken, but in the back of my mind, I felt as if I was missing something even though I have lots of great memories with my Custom PC Mage (Water and Necro), the Red Prince (Fire and Warrior), Beast (Rogue and Air) and Sebille (Marksman and Geo).
