Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback Add Custom Background option

I know that it's only early access so I hope that tools will be added in full release so you can pick 2 tools or languages later but for now it would be great to add Custom Background option where we could pick any 2 skills.

This.

The default background selection is wide, but none of the standard backgrounds have Investigation or Nature as one of their skills. Custom backgrounds would be good.

Yeah, if they add Monk: Way of Shadow. I want the option of creating a custom Shadowfell Acolyte/Agent of the Raven Queen. This would be great for both character optimization as well as flavor.

Like maybe you have "Animal Handling" because you are a Crazy Cat Lady and not a Folk Hero, lol!

I actually had a whole back story for a War Cleric that was raised by his crazy bird lady aunt in 3.5. The DM had an old obscure book where he could roll weird background stuff. I ended up with a pet Hawk. I wanted a custom background so came up with the crazy bird lady story line to explain the presence of the Hawk.
