This.

Larian doesn't understand they need to provide a frame of reference for their edgy characters to matter. The BG3 party is a menagerie of four extra special protagonists / origin characters competing for the spotlight with outrageous stories.

It's definitely a Larian thing where they try to reinvent the RPG wheel too hard. E.g. Dragon Age or Mass Effect games don't suffer from such "everyone has to be super special" nonsense.
