Larian Custom Characters (Tav) Analysis & Critique Discussion

I agree there arr limitations but OP seems like he wants his cake and to eat it too, origin charcters are too limiting but a custom charcter doesn't give him enough of a back story. A custom charcter should be a no one IMO because they're whoever I want them to be. Giving a custom charcter a back story I didn't ask for would make me feel limited, I tend to attempt to do what is in my charcters best interests so giving them a back story makes me feel like there is a way I need to play. Being a random guy in the woods with a worm in his head is more than enough story for me and the main quests and side quests don't center around characters other than their approval and any ideas they have about getting the worm out. We already have a limited set of dialog options as is, adding more limitations in the form of backgrounds would be worse IMO, hopefully we'll get inpactful class related dialog like you get as a druid now which is cool but trying to say the custom charcters are boring is a hot take IMO as someone doing his 3rd play through
