Right now it feels like if my character didn't exist, nothing in the world would change.

It's not that this system exists is the problem, but that because of its existence, other things get compromised, in a bad kind of way. Especially when a bland and might-as-well-not-exist non-origin character makes you feel like you're getting punished for not playing Larian's precious origin characters.
These are my sentiments and my complaint exactly.
And the comparison to the player-created protagonist in the original BG games is an utterly ridiculous comparison. If those games were being made today, and with the kind of budget Larian is throwing at BG3, we would all expect and demand much more.
