Question First:
Will rolling for stats be added? Even if it's only for custom characters; It would be nice.

A Suggestion:
'Custom Only Mode'
A mode for people playing together who want custom characters only to do a playthrough. This mode removes all companions and companion plots/quests.
The only things that are allowed are custom starting characters and mercenaries.
Doing so cuts down delays caused by meeting custom characters or needing to remove them by removing them all together.
