Which background should you give to your character in Avowed? It’s something you may be curious about when you first start the game and are creating your new hero. After you finish their appearance, you’ll reach a section called Background where you have five different backstories to choose from. This may be a tricky decision to you, because the game makes a point of telling you that the background you choose can affect dialogue, and which weapon you start with. Thankfully, I’m here to reassure you that the decision shouldn’t be as difficult it seems, because while your character’s background can affect conversations and their starting weapon, it’s not as game-changing as you may expect.
