I am not personally a fan of "origin" characters myself, as I play these sorts of games to create my own persona. I am also not a fan of these origin characters being shoved in my face as party members either. I get it in the beginning that we have to deal with these unpleasant individuals because of circumstances, but I really wish we could gather companions later on in the game NOT from the origin list, that might have personality's I could mesh with the persona I am working with. Something like 10 good non-origin party member options would be nice optimally. Covering at least the mage/fighter/healer/rogue ranges. Though my personal perfect group makeup would be 4 Rogues spec'd with different sub-classes to round things out. And give some story options that my character can participate in without needing the negative origin baggage along with it. Everyone one of these current origin characters feels like EMO Masochist tripe.
