After my own chareacter that I would create: In order I would choose: Astarion (I have a thing for vampires), Shadowheart (love the mystery surrounding her), Gale (what is he hiding?), Wyll (Second, least favorite but I will still give him a chance) and Lae'zel (don't really care for her but sure why not).
I want to add that something I have noticed in many threads is people consistently mentioning how something is done on tabletop DnD and how it should be in this game. Larian has made it very clear in interviews that this game is "based" on DnD and not a 100% translation. Swen said that Larian will stick to their roots that they are known by, ex: DOS. Swen said this is their "interpretation" of what they like in DnD. They will try to add as many mechanics from DnD as they can but if it doesn't work for their game or what their vision is, they will not put it. Swen emphasized how this is first and foremost a video game. Swen also said that Larian is you DM as as your DM, they have the final say. As some videos on YouTube of DnD players say, "Your DM is LAW."
Swen also said that the reason for the way they are doing Baldur's Gate is that they also want make this game for everyone. WOTC has also backed this up by saying that people to do video games, comic books and novels are separate from tabletop DnD and those are perfectly acceptable in their eyes.
Edit: An example of tabletop game that was made into a video game "based" on that tabletop is Cyberpunk 2077. Where CDPR did good there is they made it a open world RPG instead of trying to mimic a tabletop. Maybe this is the problem with BG3 and why so many are having a problem with it.
