I think there's a pretty clear disconnect between the power levels of the implied background of the PC and the backgrounds for the other party members. Like okay I'm a Paladin/Warlock who was apparently a Guild Artisan and there are occasionally dialogue options based on these, but generally I'm a blank slate normal guy; the perfect example of a level 1 character background.
Then you have the party members (massive spoilers)
Every single one of them (except arguably Shadowheart) are way too powerful in-setting to be a level 1 character in D&D.
The plot explains this away with the magic plot device the plot is centered around doing a "reset" on people's brains
