Did the player's character lose their memory when they touched the first artifact?
Post Body

Question: Do you all think our character has amnesia?
My character has a bounty hunter background with Serpent's Embrace, Extroverted and Wanted traits. I don't even know who put out the bounty on my head?

In the early game, after touching the first artifact, Heller asks if we remember who we are, but is the game actually saying we did lose memory of our life up to that point? It just seems like a good way to segue into the character editor.
I have to assume we have amnesia, because you go around the rest of the game asking dumb questions that any adult in the Settled Systems should not need to ask. Like: "Who is Benjamin Bayu?" and "What was the colony war?" is a big one. Even some of the NPC's ask if we've been living under a rock all our lives.
I know a new player has to have some exposition to learn about the setting of the game, but it does seem weird to ask questions like these.

The PC can come from very different walks of life, with the only constant being that they are currently working as a miner

It's possible the PC grew up cut off from society, and the ignorant dialogue options reflect that

Pair diplomat and the wanted trait and you can roleplay as a failed politician in hiding 😎
