I'd be very curious to see if they kept track of what percentage of their players use a custom character for their main character and how many use origin characters first. I can't imagine using an origin character, but they seem to be popular.
That, in itself isn't an indication, however, if there is market for a better custom experience. From what I have seen I am likely to play as custom in BG3, but in my 3 runs in D:OS2 I used origins each time. I knew ahead of time, that customs are no good, so why would I do that? All I was doing is taking content away while adding nothing of value.
