Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity - Original Sin - General Poll: Ultima-Style character Creation?

I'd vote for optional, but what I would actually like to see would be backgrounds à la Arcanum. Those were nice and added flavor to the characters I think. That could be done in the way of narrative Q&A at the start of the game, I guess. (Even better if they lead to C&C story-wise).
