Backgrounds versus Racials

I don't think we can switch our artisan professions once we've gone deep enough into one, so imo as long as the background choice tells you which artisan profession it relates to - it would be fine to have that choice at the start of the game.

I'd imagine quite a lot of people have their preferred gameplay even before they start the game, rather than choosing one only after trying everything out first. Though maybe Intrepid should do a discussion thread on that topic and get a poll going or smth. Maybe everyone just doesn't know what they wanna do at all before they play the game.
