What background are you using in your first Starfield Playthrough?

[Chipmunk of Vengeance]

With the advantages of the backgrounds and what they have to offer, and of what we know so far, what backgrounds do you think you'll be starting with? Granted that the rest have yet to be announced and we know so little.

For me I'm starting with Ronin, I'm a bit of a weeaboo and Japanophile.

If possible I'd choose one that focuses on the Xenosociology Skill. Which'll probably winds up being either the Beast Hunter or Professor Background. But who knows... only 6 Backgrounds thus far are known in detail afaik.

Thinking Gangster or Explorer. Still need to see the full list to decide..

[⛥ Binli die Schreckliche ⛥]

Diplomat or Explorer

[rumax]

a serial killer has broken free from a deep mine to kill. Kill a lot and cruelly. The living will envy the dead, and the most vile thugs in the galaxy will grin and whisper, only at the full mention of my name - Pokerface

[Tenoshii]

Starting as as Cylon.

Cyber Runner is the only background that will let you get better loot off the bat.
Since you will be able to hack locked doors/chests, and maybe even pickpocket.

All the other backgrounds just give you like 10% better damage or healing- Fundamentally useless- If I shoot something, it WILL DIE, 10% is meaningless.

But, yeah most backgrounds are unknown, but I doubt they will allow you to as quickly get better loot than a lockpicking background.

Depends entirely on what they all are. All I know for certain is, I won't be choosing it based on any sort of meta or tangible benefit. I don't meta-game. I roleplay.

[paladinx333]

I'm going to be anonymous. When you play the game you'll understand.

[Langkard]

I wonder if I can roleplay as an old gamer who is fairly certain that he's just in a simulation. Oh, wait. That will just be me playing the game.

I'll choose a background once we know what all of the possible backgrounds are. No point in picking one before that.

[Jack Greedy]

I don't even know any possible backgrounds will wait till i play. Do not want to spoil all the fun :)

[Flux]

bounty hunter with kids stuff.

Kid Stuff, its a trait, not a background though
