For my playthrough I chose
Neon Street Rat
It was nice to feel like I had a history somewhere. It doesn’t come up a lot, but when it does it feels satisfying. Especially when questing on Neon. You feel street smart.
Wanted
Kind of mid on this one. I didn’t run into a lot of space combat in my playthrough, so having these guys show up here and there was nice. The bit of story you get is ok but I wish there was more.
Parents
Absolutely fantastic, and it is going to be hard to skip on future playthroughs. Its a bit of a bummer they miss your wedding, but between all the free stuff and the unexpecting places you run into them it is 100% worth it.
I went with Parents, Adoring Fan and Dream Home. By Vectera, By Vectera, By Vectera I'd recommend the first two - I found Dream Home underwhelming since the mortgage payoff isn't a particularly interesting plot line. I think one of the background traits would be better for the third, especially a hometown trait (and neon, it turns out, is the highlight of the game in its current state).
