Yeah, I get it that maybe someone wants to play the Astarions and Shadehearts variations... but at the same time you could take all that development time to give a much wider usuable 'Dark Urge'-like background - that isn't locked to look, race and class. Its nice we have such a great character customization so we can create a great looking bystander to other people's hero stories or just not use it and go with the origins laugh

At the end of the day I'm very curious to see the success or lack of the origin option in this game. DOS2 was a selffulling prophecy by a clear prioritization of origins. We will see what BG3 turns out to be.
