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.

Edit: This article.

Quote

Astarion: Noble
Gale: Sage
Lae'zel: Soldier
Shadowheart: Urchin
Wyll: Folk Hero
