I wonder if Larian might consider doing a similar contest? The interaction with game developers on the 'boards is about zero, so an NPC contest might liven things up a bit. Or, maybe Larian worries that a lot of people will get upset because their precious character did not win? There was some of that kind of thing going on back in BG II, to be sure. But that's just human nature, not something to be denied or feared. D&D has always been about community contribution ... and rejection.

Similar to your example of Habib, Owlcat also added backer-proposed characters and questlines in P:KM and WotR that are widely considered to be terrible. I don't expect such an idea to be any better implemented in BG3.
