Not gonna happen. No matter how bad or pointless people say they are, the origin characters are one of Larian's brainchilds that set their games apart. Too much time, work, and money have gone into this. Even if they start acknowledging that "yeah most of our players dislike this idea" I rather doubt they would "rethink" it. What you can hope for, instead, is that Larian will do something with the writing so that both playing an origin and playing a non-origin feel rewarding in their own way.
