Hello, question from a player: How much will the backgrounds from the Player's Guide come up? Like, is it worth it for a Cleric to pick the "Banished Brighite" background? Will there be interaction with Brigh-centric themes, or is it just flavor? Will I miss out if I just take Sarenrae or something?
Some of the backgrounds appear to force choices on the player.
They are entirely too narrow in focus.

There are brigh themes, particularly in Book two. Though it does depend on your DM. I am going to play up the church of Brigh when I run it but I am biased as I like Brigh. This is IMO something though to bring up with your GM during a session 0.
The important things with the backgrounds are giving you a reason why you were outlawed and why you hate either/and Loveless and mugland.
