As a total tangent, people often use "origin characters" as a synonym for "companion characters"; but "origin characters" are only a...

It’s a significant location, but not quite as central to the plot as in NWN. You spend more time there than you do in Baldur’s Gate in BG1.

It honestly would be better for the industry (just not for us over-eager fans) if they left announcing stuff until 8-10 weeks before it...
