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.

Yup, this. You can recruit them in your party and see what they say about your actions, so you get to know them that way first.

Thanks and it makes sense.
