Which Origin Characters are better played as the Main Character?

[👌m8]

I'm having plans on using one of the Origin Characters as the Main Character again on my next playthrough. Which Origin Characters are better off being the main character instead of just being a companion?

[Yemeth]

Fane imo

[Gin-chan]

Definitely Fane. His story is the one most closely tied to the main plot.

[Belial]

I think they all have a very nice touch to them. Every character story is different somehow. That said Fane and Lohse have some very intetesting touches during main quest.

THE RED PRINCE

[Pyromus]

My vote is for Lohse. Her story is just really amplified from her perspective. Fane's you get little extra out of it from actually being him. RP is my second pick.

You will get access to possibly the biggest gamechanger and coolest endings to the game with Fane, but I'd suggest choosing this particular course of events if you're playing solo.
Fane is also the best character all around (both in lore and gameplay) and being undead offers many funny interactions in dialogue.

If you are planning to play solo lone wolf, I'd 100% recommend Fane, but if this is your first playthrough, then I'd consider Lohse and Sebille more because they're better suited for party play, which is definitely better for your first playthrough, as you'll get to experience more of the character's story.

Ifan and Beast fall short for me as characters I'd play as, but definitely the best to play with as companions.
Ifan is the Garrus of divinity 2, really fun companion to have, Beast is sadly the shallowest character in terms of backstory, but easily the funniest, you'll likely crack up occasionally for his comments and attitude.

so many Fane fanboys, it's depressing.

I have Fane as a companion and he's really not much of a help.

Fane
Lohse (already played as her)
The Red Prince
Sebille

Looks like that's it. Thanks for the answers guys.

[fauxpas]

Loshe, hands down.

Honestly I don't see the appeal that Fane seems to have, his secret is glaringly overplayed and isn't really that big of a deal.

The thing is Fane has unlimited lockpicks which is hard to beat and also you can carry a barrel of poison and create basically infinite health potions for him.

I think rogues are kinda ♥♥♥♥♥♥ though, getting behind mobs 24/7 is near impossible with all the ground tile issues and the moving costing AP and provoking AOs and all that. Better to just make a Warfare/Polymorph. I would suggest (x2) of these and then (x2) ranged characters so that you can do well on bosses and clean up far targets still. Fane doesn't have the dodging, crit chance and all that so not the best melee player. Maybe good to make him one of the ranged characters instead who just happens to be healed by poison attacks (an extra defense).

You can make a Wizard who can sneak and steal without issue in this game.

You could self insert if you made him a necromancer.
