That does make more sense thematically, or like story wise, but then could we have a kind of quick-character creator added once you've made your first save file? Since for newcomers getting acostumed to the game first it would be better to make a playthrough focus on immersion, but maybe unlocking the mentioned feature once you've cleared chapter 4 (maybe?) would be better for replayability? I'm saying this since I personally really enjoyed the game, but the system looks really fun and trying different archetypes would make it just more enjoyable for a seasoned player.
Not saying a debug kind of creator where you just add anything you want, but maybe a skip of the prologue where you pick the basic physical features mentioned, and then roll for a gift and pick your stats without having to do the whole prologue. Also more save files would be appreciated, but either way, those are my only suggestions, loving the game so far!
(Also maybe some sprites customizations for our character would be cool, but that's kind of picky, perhaps a modding feature where we make our own sprites for in battle encounters too👀)
