If they could make a couple of characters that were polite (without chronic potty-mouth) that participated in the conversations without class specific rhetoric...that would be awesome.

Step two: let me choose their class and build them as I see fit....PERFECTION.

In single player, let me hire them someplace and have fun customizing them completely (Race, class, stats, background, ect).

Make one male and one female and give them a backstory that is not race dependent...everyone is happy!

Don't hate me...Solasta got this right (well except for the models). They went for the classic medieval meme and it worked well.

2 origin characters and two very interactive (yet custom characters) for the win.
