If not for the fact that they've commented specifically to say that they are not going to be doing anything with backgrounds because it's too much work. I wish I was exaggerating or making that up, but I'm not. People wanted backgrounds to do more and be more, and their official answer was that making backgrounds doing anything other than granting a couple of proficiencies was too big a task and they weren't doing it.
Thats just disappointing tbh. I was hoping Backgrounds could be a way to make the Player Character more unique by giving them something like how every one of our companions have something special.
