There are no simple "this guy just wants a friend" characters in a D&D party.

That's a absolute minority of the games. Statistics have shown most campaigns run around level 4-8. Its even just a small part of the PC games, since you usually only play the last 10% of the game on such high levels.

And no - the level of storytelling Larian is using for the characters is not common. I'm going to be honest and say I think its on a very questionable quality level when you need all the craziness to make a 'interesting' background. And as said so often around here - if everything and everyone is special, no one is.


But hey, all the power to you if you enjoy it. You are one of the lucky ones who are not disappointed by what Larian has shown so far smile
