And once we start to concidering that "just one another choice" ... we might be easily surprised how many additional work we just created.
Therefore its just easier to pick some place, where we all are from ...
And if we are not, let us to make some little conversation in our head.
Yep, agreed! And for those of us who don't have any experience with DnD or the previous BG games, there is enough in the character creation screen to choose from already in regards to background, stats, etc, to make my head spin - before even choosing a city of origin. As a new player to this world, I don't mind having this come up via conversation in game. Like - ooh what's this [Baldurian] option? Am I from Baldur's Gate? As a new player, I didn't know anything about it, but if it helps me connect with my new companions, sure, why not?
