I'll try to be productive instead of just bringing drama to the thread. I'll give some thoughts on a game that essentially had origin characters that I really did enjoy. Final Fantasy VI. No, you didn't get to choose dialogue options, everything was decided for you ahead of time, but you were stuck with the characters and had to choose which ones to bring along. What I liked about the characters was that although they had separate motivations, they came together and even though the interactions between most of them was very minimal, you still felt like they were a team. if BG3 could emulate that feeling somehow, I would be okay with origin characters. As it is, I don't feel like anyone is a team in my party. Everyone just hates each other, and they never feel like they grow together as a team really at all for the entire first act, which is a substantial amount of time.

If Larian could make the characters feel more like a team, they'd be going a long ways towards making me enjoy the origin system.
