In exemple make the dreams happen only for the main character whatever it's an origin or a custom character / a good or an evil character. Don't give powers to the whole party but only to the main character. Make him special too.
It's not too late to grants our main character a story that is a bit different all along the game.
I feel like Larian is afraid to make a special or "chosen one" main character because of the trope that many RPGs fall in. That being said, the MC doesn't need to be like the inquisitor from DA:I where they are fundamentally linked to the antagonist. But more like Hawke or The Warden where they are just people with a strong force of will. Hawke is literally just a dude, and yet every person he interacts with in DA2 is changed by his presence. I guess my biggest problem is that origin characters not only get a story unique to them, but also take from the main story as well.

I was also just thinking about this, it would be cool to get companions (even just one) that didn't have the mind flayer tadpole. It would be a great way to get an outside perspective of the characters and events from someone who doesn't have a shared experience like all of the current origin characters.
