I feel like Larian is afraid to make a special or "chosen one" main character because of the trope that many RPGs fall in.
Larian uses special and "chosen one" tropes. It's just they apply them to ALL companions/playable characters, not one custom (or multiple customs if you do multi) player characters.
Dragon Age: Origins was used before - in Larian version of it, all companions would be Wardens. You wouldn't get Morigan, you would get Warden with Mage background. And you all would be in charge. Sort of.
