He says do first playthrough as Tav and then new story and context through origin, but in DOS2, playing custom was just all around worse than playing Origin.
It’s true and I have some scepticism, however BG3 doesn’t play like D:OS2 - in D:OS2 companions had very little content, you had to have the companions in your active party and spare companions were killed after act1. So when playing custom you could at best experience 3 companion’s storyline, and considering there very little roleplaying involved in D:OS2, picking an origin just have you an extra short storyline to see.
In BG3 most story events take place at camp, and you can swap party members in&out to fulfill their quests when resting. While you will probably see and have better relationship with companions you spend your time with, I don’t think picking Tav is a straight up loss, the way it was in D:OS2.
