I'm sure Larian can find a way to do this, if they're willing to put in the effort to do it.
Also, a couple of you keep mentioning multi-classing. Where/when was this confirmed? This is a hugely important feature for me, and thus far I was under the impression we were NOT getting multi-classing.
Not for EA, but for final game yes. If that is so important for you then a quick
google wouldn't hurt, no? If that's too much work, here is
AMA and here is quote:

Multiclassing rules will follow closely the 5e DnD. On level up characters will be able to continue with their current class or choose a new class, provided they meet the requirements. Multiclassing is not going to be available in Early Access at launch, we're planning to add it later.
As for the Ranger, we will be implementing alternative variants of Favourite Enemy and Natural Explorer features that are not limited to specific monster and location types. When we were working on these changes, we went to WotC for their approval and it turned out that we were completely on the same page. Mike Mearls shared some of their playtesting material, and we’re rolling with that.
Back to backgrounds. If I remember correct custom characters will be Baldurians. Surely there are at least couple backgrounds Larian could come up with - merchant, member of city guard, local artist, local noble etc.
