Another plus to running with a character that has an origin story is that sometimes, throughout the game, people will recognize who you are, and they will react accordingly. But, there are a few quests that you’ll only be able to experience if you’re running with a character that has an origin story.
Now, mind you, there aren’t many quests locked behind characters with origin stories. However, it does play a pivotal part in how you as a character approach the story, as well as what kind of quests you’ll be able to partake in. Choosing whether or not you make a customer character, or run a character with an origin story, doesn’t really change the player experience in Divinity: Original Sin 2.
