I mean, pretty much this :

The reason I prefer to know all of this before my first playthrough is because I’d like to make sure I have a roster of potential custom characters that covers all the races, classes and backgrounds as efficiently and effectively as possible.

For a similar reason, I’d love confirmation of any additional origin characters, so I don’t waste time designing a custom character that overlaps too much with one of them.
for the same exact reasons 😄 I also agree with the rest, I just feel this so much 😅

I love spending time creating characters and builds, not just for custom characters but also companions. But, it's not easy to do that without those informations (available races/subraces, classes/subclasses, backgrounds and the possible implementation of multi-classing).

Additionally, ideally, and for the same reasons, I would also like to know which spells will be implemented.

Spells can had a lot of flavor to a build. Some missing spells are somewhat understandable (most divination spells, some enchantement/illusion spells), but for some, it's harder to understand. For instance, "Slow" or even "Blink". Those two were successfully implemented by modders. So, maybe it's because those spells weren't ready to use for patch 9?

Still, it would be nice to have confirmation for things they know for sure will be implemented 🙂

To me, those aspects are part of the game-mechanics. They are useful things to know to play the game. What I want to be kept as a surprise are story-elements (encounters, romance options, locations...), so...same as you The_Red_Queen 😄
