Yeah +1 to everybody wanting our own custom made characters to feel more important than the premade origin characters. I really liked DOS2, I thought it was a fun game. But I did NOT like the custom character feeling more bland than origin characters. I tried playing as the origin characters a few times, but never got far because I wanted to play my OWN character with my OWN story in mind. I still liked the game, but I preferred playing a more bland version that I could make my own story up in my head, rather than feel railroaded into someone else's story.

I definitely DO NOT WANT ORIGIN CHARACTERS TO FEEL MORE IMPORTANT THAN MY OWN CUSTOM MADE CHARACTER in this game. I am fine with them making interesting fleshed out companions. But I want them to make my own custom character feel way more integral to the game than the custom character's in DOS2 felt. And I am very worried that Larian is going to screw this up, hardcore. If they do screw it up, at least I will know not to buy any more of their products.

The pineapple pizza vs kick in the balls analogy was a great one. Except I actually took the kick in the balls on DOS2 by playing as my own custom character instead of the origin character, because I hated the entire concept of playing somebody else's pregen character so much.

I don't play RPG's to play somebody else's pre-scripted character. I want to play my own thing.


Have a great day !
