For additional context, this topic was also discussed in
this previous thread.
I agree that, currently, the game provide little reactivity to you being a Githyanki or a Cleric of this or that Deity (e.g. Shar).
I do, however, hope that Larian will not impose specific backstories upon our Custom Characters. More precisely, I would really like the option to play a Fully-Custom Character, not just a Semi-Custom Character (in the sense I stated in the previous thread). For instance, I don't like that non-Githyanki, non-Drow characters are forced to be Baldurians.
I don't think that, for a Fully-Custom Character, the backstory should be a main point of focus. What should count about the PC is who they are and the choices they make. What they are made of, what they really value, and who they become.
Well, I'm not asking for anything that complicated - I'm asking for the half-assed thing that gives some basic dialogue options only. I understand the problems with everything being custom and the massive work that would have to be put in to fully flesh out 30 new possibilities. Just a simple update that gives some very basic control over the answer to the question "who are you?" This fixes the frustration of being unknowledgeable about everything all the time. Really, it just has to be a couple options per race and class that are basic and just correct current dialogue - no story arc specific to that background.
I'd be quite favourable to that.
