Well, I think I picked a terrible background for my character. I chose Educator, but I really can't educate anyone because the only skills I'm putting points into are Throwing and Pick Locking, so I can't really educate any of my meele guys to be an expert at melee or something. SO... is it possible to edit your character's background after he's made? :???:
You can use the savegame editor to give yourself points to raise the melee skill. As far as I know, you can't change the selected background.
Once you have fished creating your character, you are stuck with your background. I have not ever found a program to change it.
