No Noble starting scenario?

[James Rye]

How come there is no Noble starting scenario? Like you start with a fallen Noble and a footman and a servant as starting brothers and your goal is for your family who disowned you to either accept you back in their ranks or to eat your sword. It could be harder as in that the Noble accepts no low born peasants but he got nice starting funds and his armor is top, the footman is middle and the servant is poorly geared. Another gimmick could be that one house likes you a lot, one hates your guts and another is indifferent to you. Or that as a noble you get better treatment than other starting scenarios as in 10% more cash offered in contracts than usual to get the not so low born recruits.

How come there is no half-orc starting scenario? Same reason there is no noble starting scenario..... they hate us.

Yes.

Hedge Knight is generally a noble, I assume.

Generally. To become a knight you must be knighted by one and most knights were indeed nobles. A hedge knight is a knight without an estate or master.

This is a cool idea. A noble bastard who forms a merc company, these can all have minor story goals similiar to how we have those goals with the renown. All with an ending that fits the theme and gives a legendary item Like a noble helm or gear some such.

but its basically the lone wolf but even more op.
if you start with all the good equipment you will just wreck all the early quest snowbowling it till end game.

Imagine that you can only use noble backgrounds and you can't have any archer, that could be quite challenging.

Well there are dozens of potentially good ideas that could get implemented but obviously we can't have like a 100 origins from the get-go.
I'd say that there is still some room for adding more origins in the future but I'd also wager that the devs will want to a) make sure that no new origin is too similar to a previously introduced one and b) make sure that all the origins stick to the overall theme of "running a low-power, down-to-earth mercenary company". That excludes a lot of options that would essentially be fantasy power trips

A noble background was also my first idea, when i hearded from the backgrounds. An adventoures noble would be nice.

The game does have Disowned Nobles and Bastards. This should be moved to the Suggestions forum.

Honestly I would assume the Peasants hate your guts.
