Is there a way to change "main chara"?

[Mark F. Smith]

When I create a custom starter, I am always stuck in that custom's perspective. But is there a way to make Fane main character while sill having a custom starter?

Thanks in advance.

During character creation you should take Fane as your Origin. That will make you Fane and remove him as recruitable companion from the game since you are Fane now. You play out from the perspective of your first created character so there is no way to officially make recruited companion MC

Right, so Main Character is always hardlocked to the one created/picked at the beginning of the game..?

Appreciated.

Yes, however that doesn't stop you from getting what you want. Start the game normally. Then alt-tab and open the game files and launch the game again directly from the files. Join yourself in a LAN with the second instance. Make your main character Fane in the first and make your custom in the second.

Just bear in mind that BOTH are "main" characters, or more specifically "player" characters. The game will treat them as if a player is playing as both. This means that certain events that companions usually skip you'll have to play through twice. You can still recruit the two companions on one character or have each one recruit one.
