Yikes. I was expecting gith characters to get more special treatment than that. Maybe Larian did just assume that you'd pick Lae'zel if you wanted githy goodness.

For someone who likes - or at least doesn't mind - playing premade characters, I imagine the Origins are going to feel much more interesting and well-integrated into the world. But I hate it, I only really like custom characters, and their integration is... mostly good enough, IMHO.
