Does your background comes often in conversations etc?

[Zherot]

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.

Artist: 4
Clergyman: 7 (4 unique)
Colonist: 9
Dissident: 6
Drifter: 4
Explorer: 9
Hunter: 10
Laborer: 8
Mercenary: 8
Merchant: 11
Mystic: 5

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.
