I recently started a new playthrough of Wrath of the Righteous, and as soon as I got the option, I ditched all the pre-written party members and rolled my own, and it's sooooo much better not feeling like I have to pander to their needs.
I also don't have to deal with Owlcat's build decisions either, instead creating the team I want that covers all the bases I require (I've gone hyper-traditional with rogue, wizard, cleric, fighter, ranger and my main, a bard).
I would dearly love the ability to do this in BG3, even more so if I could have a party of six like in the originals. I can't stand the modern drive to reduce party numbers. I know they're probably not going to change party size so close to release, but I know that it will be the very first mod I either download or implement myself.
I think that the relatively modern CRPG that made me realise I could have more fun with a team I'd rolled instead of one provided to me by the developer was the NWN2 expansion Storm of Zehir. That also gave me an appreciation for stronghold maintenance and upkeep in RPGs.
