Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General What character(s) will you make first?

I've been thinking a lot about how to have a character that's motivated to be team tadpole, and I think I've got something. A half-orc monk who was delivered at the monastery because of their mother's shame at the baby's conception. The kid grew up knowing only the monks and other kids studying there, and always felt like an outsider not just on account of their race, but because they're the only kid who doesn't know their parents. Naturally, they're relentlessly teased by the other kids when the monks' backs are turned, and even though they're bigger and stronger, they can't do a damned thing about it because of the trouble they'll get in. This character has always felt put-upon and helpless, and has no meaningful understanding of the world beyond the monastery.

So one day, they run away to the big city. And the day they arrive in Baldur's Gate? Whoopsie, what's that in the sky? Is it a fucking nautiloid?

So, the tadpole power is their first opportunity, ever, to feel like they have meaningful control of anything in their life. I've never, not once, freed Saza in EA, but I think that's a no-brainer decision in this case, because this character will obviously relate to Saza's situation, projecting heavily and over-reading that feeling.
