Which background should you pick in Starfield? It’s really up to you, as you’ll get access to more skills soon after starting.
When you make your Starfield character, you’ll be prompted with picking a background, a history for your character that also grants you three predetermined unlocked skills at the start of the game. Worry not, as these won’t be the only skills you get. You’ll get many, many more as you level up and progress.
Your background will have some sway on dialogue options that randomly become available to you, but based on our experiences, they don’t seem to actually have any weight. You might be able to chime in about cooking due to your chef background, but it doesn’t really change the outcome of anything.
