Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General Specialized backgrounds for origin characters?

I have no idea if this will be in game, but I'd like to see each of the origin characters have their own specific backgrounds (i.e. not sage, noble, urchin, etc.)

This would primarily just affect skills, which don't really have to change, and more importantly inspiration points. For instance Astarion can keep his skills from Noble, but in addition to/in place of some of his inspiration situations his "Astarion" background would give him inspiration for killing a vampire hunter. Or Wyll could get inspiration from beating certain goblins, or even Karlach now, even though that doesn't really fit with folk hero.

To me it seems a little strange that a noble that I make as a Tav, would gain inspiration for the same things as Astarion, and that goes for all of the companions. This isn't me saying that those backgrounds don't fit, but since those characters have a specific background why not use them?

Just a thought...

I believe Dark Urge has the Haunted Background, whih MIGHT be exclusive to them.

I think the origins due have unique backgrounds (atleast astarion had one).

Last night I saw a magazine article on Backgrounds, but it was one of those that popped up in my phone news feed and I can't find it again! It indicated that in the release version Origins have standard backgrounds. For example Asterion is a noble. It also discussed Inspiration.
