I would have liked if they used the Origin system from Divinity because as this is your custom character (and custom class) wont be one of the fleshed out characters. Compared to divinity where you could select an origin character and customize their class. Here you can't.
If the campaign is more PC driven than origin character driven it will be fine though.

Don't see why they have to bloat the numbers. 174 hours of cinematics. Undoubtedly that means every version of each cinematic. So good, evil and probably a few neutral versions. In a regular playthrough, you'll most likely see the one version of the cinematics, so divide that by 3 and that's probably a more accurate number of hours you'll see in a playthrough in a 100% run. Where most players will probably see 50-60% of those again, missing conversations, quests, events and the likes.
Saying "A regular playthrough will have at least 50 hours of cinematics" is more than enough. Also more realistic and would avoid the bound to happen remarks of "did a full playthrough and the entire thing was shorter than the amount of cutscenes they said they had. Larian are liars!"
That said, I can't remember last time a game sped up their game release instead of delaying it. That's a good sign. Very much looking forward to this.
I know little to nothing of 5e. Is Conjurer Wizard a summoner? Do pets actually last a while, or are they like in Pathfinder where the summon time is so short I rarely bother to summon them in fights. I always go summoner if I can.

Summons yes but also bonuses to things like grease, entangle, cloud kill etc. really strong in table top, I will be curious to see how it translates.

This tells me an expansion up to lvl 20 is on the horizon for it.

I haven't followed this much lately, but what are those barbarian subclasses? I played a wild magic barb which felt a bit more gimmicky than actually useful, but what are those other two? Surprised there's no totem barb since that's in the PHB. Also, surprised there's no hexblade patron for warlocks since it really feels like that's what wyll was meant to be. Or at least a mishmash of the fiend and the hexblade...
It'd be interesting if the origin characters were homebrewed subclasses that were unique to them.

You can see what the subclasses are all about (the best wiki I have seen for 5e):

totem and hexblade were just broken anyway so not a huge surprise, them leaving in moon druid means they fucking with something though because endless HP otherwise.

Totem barb just got renamed Wildheart barb for whatever reason; still the same mechanics.

I think its primarily a sign they didnt want to release a few days after Armored Core and 1 day before Starfield early access, but I am very excited they chose to go forward and not backward into the quagmire of games from September through October.
