Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General How much content does Custom Origin miss?

I don't know where you're getting these figures for hours of missed content from but that's not correct. You can still do almost all of the Origin character quest content in D:OS2 without having those characters in your party, even if they died back in the end of Act 1--you can still interact with Jahan and kill the Doctor without Lohse, you can still choose how to deal with the Deathfog in Arx without Beast, you can still do the Embassy stuff in Arx and give Sadha a Swornbreaker without the Red Prince, you can still systematically exterminate everyone on Sebille's kill list and eliminate or make a deal with the Shadow Prince without Sebille herself present, you still deal with Roost, Alexander and effectively the rest of the Divine Order without Ifan. Off the top of my head the only character you genuinely miss out on significant content for is Fane because most of his content is tied up in unique character interactions he has with unavoidable story characters anyway, whereas for the other Origin characters they have specific areas and narratives always running for them which don't simply stop if they stop being personally around to further/conclude them; that content's still there for you, you're only missing some unique dialogue and interactions you'd get with the characters those stories are tied to.

Oh, also obviously you miss out on the end cards for those characters without them, but I don't think that equates to what people would think of when they hear a sentence like "[x] hours of missing content" like significant chunks of the game are just ripped out and lost entirely if you aren't playing an Origin character.
