i'm having a hard time understanding what you're saying. It sounds like you're just saying what we currently have is good, which if you're fine with, great, but some of us are not, hence this discussion and trying to solve the "problem"
Not at all what I'm saying. I'll try to explain it better with an exemple.
1) Solo playthrough - Playing a custom character :
Tav is the only one to have dreams and powers.
2) Solo playthrough - Playing an origin character :
Your origin character is the only one to have dreams and powers (+ his side quest and dialogs answer)
3) Multiplayer : Every character has the dreams, custom or origin characters. Or only the host have the dreams.
TBH I don't care, I won't ever play this game in MP.
except that it wouldn't make sense. I mean, all companions have the parasite, it's obvious so far that whatever is happening in the dreams, it's one of the results of it. So, what you're saying is that they should rewrite their story to make Tav the only important special kid and the rest... the rest.
There are ways to make Tav interesting without the need to diminish the companions in this regard, for once, I think a nice solution would be the actual backgrounds, change them in a way that what we choose will give us special dialogues to show some sort of connection to the past of our custom character. If I choose Soldier, give me soldier dialogues, etc. This is just an idea I had ofc, but I think they'll come up with something in time. At least I hope so.
I don't need my Tav to be the next Inquisitor or MC where everything is around them, where it's frustrating that the world cannot spin if I don't give them the final word. I actually like that the companions are so important to the story, and sometimes even more than my MC. Again, I just hope they give the custom character the same attention as the Origin ones.
