I received a copy of BG3 on Steam as a Christmas present. Finally installed it, was impressed to see a built-in mod manager on the main menu.

Do you have any advice on what character I should create for my first playthrough? The choices are bewildering (but not as bewildering as WOTR) and I'm paralyzed by the sheer choices available. Should I take one o the origin characters instead?

For info, I've played Pathfinder WOTR (I liked the game but I found it difficult to learn to play), Larian's Divinity Original Sin and DOS2; the fallout games 1, 2, 3, NV, 4, 76; Witcher 3, Cyberpunk 2077. And the OG BG & BG2 back in the day.

Thank you.
