Did you pick one of the origin characters? The free-form "origin" character The Dark Urge? A totally custom character?

And what class are you picking and excited about?

I heard one of the devs said it's better not to pick an origin character for your first playthrough, so I made a custom one.

She's a mephistopheles tiefling bard noble. I'm trying to make a kind-hearted roleplaying character to compensate for the violent monk my friend made :P

I'm excited about all the different spells I can get, especially the "social" ones. There are so many options to choose from that I feel overwhelmed, in a good way :)

Did the dev give a reason for that? Just curious.

So that you first experience their stories as a third party, and later have the option of experiencing them from their own perspective.

Thanks and it makes sense.
