I just got the game and am really looking forward to checking it out but due to never playing the first one I'm going to be picking a pre made history, is there any way to see what choices make up each preset background? I've been looking all over the forums on here, steam, and reddit and can't seem to find a definitive list of each of the choices for each background. Can anyone help me out with this or point me in the right direction? 

There will be a lot of different small choices - for example regarding Iselmyr and Aloth - so I doubt a comprehensive list have been made. It would also totally spoil many/all? sidequests in POE1.

 

If you really need that kind of info, you might as well roll your own pre-configured history from the main menu.
