I picked Gale as my origin character on a whim (I wanted to get to playing without spending too much time in character creation. Also I like wizards), but he’s been a blast to play.
I've been just playing custom characters, I'm on like the 3rd 100% playthrough. How different is it to grab one of the characters? Do you get to be an asshole to everyone as la zael?
I wouldn't say it's significantly different, but it's different enough. Some of the choices are actually based around the characters, and you get character specific cutscenes.
I have yet to play an origin character other than durge. But it seems like it would make it easier to have everyone around for their bit of story. "Oops going into the magic shop need Gale. Here's Jahira's family, better grab her. Dammit, it's Mizora, have to grab both Karlach and Wyll. Ugh, have to show this cave art to Shart.
Not even counting swapping in Gale when I need Feather Fall or buffing the party with Longstrider or Shart for Feast and Aid. I hate how cumbersome it is to swap characters. I know there are mods, but not on PS5.
