Austin LukeLike the previous game of Larian, Divinity: Original Sin 2, Baldur’s Gate 3 allows you to either create your main character or choose one of the pre -written, pre -designed characters. If you do not play for any of them, you will later find them as partners and, possibly, even love interests – this is exactly what they became for most of us.
Since all six characters were so popular that some fans return to the game to play for their beloved satellite, but remain disappointed. Some players believe that original characters lack the original content, which makes them much less interesting than they would be as NPC. Moreover, some fans argue that the game should not have this function at all, and these characters should only be left as partners.
There are six ready -made options for origin: Laesel, Astarion, Shadouhart, Gale, Karllae and Will. The seventh origin, a dark temptation, is customizable and is not a companion, but still has a pre -written story that the player can influence, as well as the rest. Few people complained about this origin, which cannot be said about others.
"Unpopular opinion: playing for original spells is terrible", – reads the theme for Reddite. Here the author explains that, despite the fact that he is a great fan of Astarion, he is disappointed with his initial passage, feeling that he lacks individuality and conflict that attract many when playing for user characters. He is especially disappointed by the lack of voice replicas, as this means that he hears the game of Nile Newbon less.
Others agree with this. "Playing for the original character, it seems that you are losing most of his content".
Olin player shared his own experience in this matter, since his brother played for Gale, and he – for the user character. "We talked about Gale as a character, and my brother realized how much he does not know about Gale at all. For example, he did not understand that Gail was a real lover of Mistra, and not just her chosen one. This huge imbalance of forces in the love of love of Gale and mystra completely passed by his head".
This is largely due to the fact that players cannot sit down and talk to themselves about the past of their character. However, this was not always. In the early frames of the game, it was clear how the characters talk or think with themselves, and each character – and even the character created by the player – leads a kind of internal dialogue. Much of this was recorded before this function was canceled according to the negative reviews of fans. Now all the personal qualities of the characters are transmitted through their dialogue options, which leaves us fewer opportunities to get acquainted with original characters if we play for one of them.
So the best option is to choose a dark temptation or create a new character.
