I think this game already gives me more to match my char to what's going on inside my head than any other DND based game I've played before. Neverwinternights left almost everything up to your imagination, it's still an great game! Planescape Torment sort of railroaded you, but's that's great too! Baldur's Gate was a fucked up mess if you played elf, still great! Imoen is human, how is she the same age me if we turn out sisters! A mess, but a fun mess. Remember how much fun BG1 was? once you chilled out about dying every 5 minutes? taught me valuable life leasons like don't try to fight wolves when you aren't wearing trousers.

BG3 is shaping up to be a lot of fun for any race/class with huge replayability. I'm worried that I'll spend too much time on this after full release - and that's my biggest worry. All origins and multiple Tavs.

Wyll is the big "needs work", but I think could be a winner for me long term. After him I'm looking forward to Shadowheart for the mystery, and Gale to find out what he's up to with Tav/everyone. I'd love for Larian to go off-piste with Astarion, but the vampire stories are soo well trod at this point.

Edit: Theory:
Astarion isn't a vampire really anyway. Cazador has been experimenting with his spawn for ever, Astarion is the result, he could have gone out into the sunshine at any point if C hadn't persuaded him otherwise. So, not the Tadpole. C was creating a super vamp to use against his enemies.
