There are really good backgrounds. For instance, I prefer walking with as little followers as possible so an Only Child Elf Mage is a really powerfull starting character(-4cha, +6!!! will). But, there are also bad backgrounds. The Educator is one such background because if you value your followers and want them to be really good at something you can only train them to the level before your own(if you're master, you train expert) but the characters often train themselves in their main skills(for instance, a certain dog becomes melee master at level 25 IMHO). Some are just fun to play, like Magick Alergy or Technophobia(cannot hold magical or technological items, with technophobia you can't even pick one up). Or a Savant(alot more int, but still dumb dialog options), that can be interesting. Don't choose stuff like Child of a Hero or anything else that gives you gold/items, it's not worth it.
