Very good writing.

I think there is a reason why most games let you create a custom main char and you meet companions but you cannot select companions as main char.

Looks like BG3 does not really have a main char. You are expected to play a group of origin chars travelling together.
I am not 100% sure because you cannot play as origin char now. (I am not using mods)This leads to problems.
You fully control one char (or even 4) but at the same time all of them are supposed to have their own personality.
This may be very irritating when you select an origin char as main char and in the next playthrough you have him/her as companion
and suddenly he/she acts totally different then you expect them to.

This gets even worse with characters you know.
I read that we will get Minsc.
If you can select Minsc as main char, will it even be possible to play like you are an idiot.
It would feel wrong if Minsc succeeds a knowledge check to identify an artifact or if he joins goblins to attack villagers.

PS: Playing an idiot main char in Arcanum was super funny, but thats an entirely different story.
