For roleplaying purposes i would like my character to be a philosopher BUT that would give me a point in resolve that would not be "optimal" talking about mix/maxing but i could tottally forget about that if my background is going to come often in conversations... since i already made a human and that got me another resolve point but i really dont want to make another race for the same thing.

 

If it dosent come often or only at the start of the game when you talk with calisca then i wil say **** it and pick whatever fits better my stats.

 

Help please.

Depends on background, some have quite lot conversation options and some have just couple.

Philosopher comes often or it dosent? that would be my RP pick but i would have to pick either aristocrat or artist for min/maxing does come often?

Here is background check in conversation before White March expansion, which could have added some new ones.

 

Aristocrat: 8
Artist: 4
Clergyman: 7 (4 unique)
Colonist: 9
Dissident: 6
Drifter: 4
Explorer: 9
Hunter: 10
Laborer: 8
Mercenary: 8
Merchant: 11
Mystic: 5
Philosopher: 11
Raider: 11
Scholar: 13
Scientist: 6
Slave: 7

I dont know how you got your hands on this list but this is really good, i guess im gonna go for philosopher then even if its not optimal because 11 its a lot to me.

 

Thank you very much.

You can drop your resolve to an eight and then have human and your start culture bring it back to a ten. You don't need to leave it at a twelve unless you want to. Really only an issue if you were trying to dump it to a three.
