Lol, imagine Larian casually changing his "appearance" to appear as something other than African American. How probable is that? BLM activists would sail the Atlantic on canoes provided by Trudeau personally to burn Larian's HQ to the ground.
He's on all the marketing materials, that's why he won't be changed. Any other reason may be important or not, but this is factually the reason he won't be changed.

NuWyll's appearance actually changes (grows horns) depending on his quest now.

No. It is dumb, hence most people will do exactly that.
This, but for multiclassing 1 level in every class.

I like the origin character idea, but I plan to only play it after the first run. Unless maybe I get bored and want to play The Dark Urge on the side to kill characters I don't like.

That's fine (and cool). Obviously I meant that they have his face, as a blaxx man, on billboards, website adverts, the box, trailers, etc. They can't decide he won't be black anymore, as AwesoemButton suggested, and its not because of BLM. Its because of branding.

I always wondered why they included that option in DOS2, it always sounded retarded to me, I never had an urge to try playing as an origin character, all the specific content they created for them felt just like wasted effort coz I would never see it.
It's like if someone played original BG and thought "wow, I sure would like to play as a cuck Khalid, instead of creating my own PC!" - Like, seriously, who the fuck wants that?
Imagine playing as Korgan in BG2 instead for example. Or Fallout/Arcanum pre-made characters would have bits of additional content.

This feature as I understand was born after DOS1 co-op people's serveys/experience. Guess normies don't tend to create their characters as seasoned RPG enthusiasts.

It's not a worthless idea but I understand how people might be mad for auto-missing content when choosing a custom character. In this game however they'll be missing a massive amount of content either way.

Only ten more days until the bearfucking, cloaca pounding and all
sorts of delicious homosex degeneracy can officially commence!

It's finally happening, boys!

I realised now that BG3 has full companion respec, we finally have proof that Owlcat's design is already causing irreperable dame to the CRPG genre.

Yeah, respec sucks. I, too, love having to have a faggot nigger in my party just because he has the class I need, instead of someone I actually want.

No one is forcing you to use respec btw. I suggest seeing a doctor about your OCD treatment immediately.

MORE OPTIONS IS LE BAD!
full party creation offers unlimited options. we don't need your uggos, swen.
Yeah, I love playing cRPGs with a full party of blank state JRPG protagonists.

be honest with yourself - you just want a faggot nigger in your party.
Well, of course. Wyll is a fag only if you try to fuck him as male character, which means Readher already put together a plan to ride his dick.
I was thinking about DA: Shitquisition and Dorian, actually.

I'm assuming there will be a Dark Urge option specifically for him so I'm planning on taking that
