There are great mods that allow you to fully customize your character. The Larian teen drama plots are not missed
Just a quick question, Machinus. Do you regard all the character-driven dramatic storytelling in DOS2 as "woke teen drama," or is it specific story beats or a style that is reoccurring which is woke or adolescent in nature/quality? I find that the character-driven dramatic storytelling is great for providing additional context and motivation for the actions we choose to take, something that was lacking in DOS1. I would love to hear your take on it because I feel it would enhance my understanding of what makes good character-driven RPG writing.
