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?

Multiplayer: Tiefling Cleric of Ilmater, chronic good boy who feels he has to atone for a misspent youth. I felt inspired and ended up writing a page of backstory for him that I'm sure will never come into play, but maybe I'll play him on tabletop someday!

Singleplayer: Wanted to do an evil campaign to contrast, ended up playing way more of this one than multiplayer, oops. Male drow Assassin/Gloom Stalker to romance Minthara.

There are other companion romances I want to try out and so many builds that sound fun! And I have to play a Dragonborn at some point, they look so beautiful! It's really tempting to start another new campaign even though I'm not out of Act 1 yet!

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 :)

I first picked Barbarian so I could mess with Athletics, then restarted and picked Warlock because I thought I'd save that fun for multiplayer, then restarted and picked Druid because I realized I want to do stuff I hadn't tried and don't recall seeing a druid companion in the trailers.

does BG3 have any worthwhile rvr open pvp.. or even any pvp at all... why should we even try BG3 when NWN from 2002 already did everything and did it better?
