Difficult choice in noble war event
Spoiler in case you're concerned about knowing too much about a random event before it happens to you:

For the 2nd time (separate playthroughs), I just got an event during the noble war where I'm neutral with Factions A and B, on the privateering contract against Faction C on the behalf of Faction B. And Faction A asks me to join them, offering me a unique weapon (of unknown stats) for doing so. I have never accepted it because I'm on ironman and I'm afraid it will cause me to be hostile with Faction B, thus being hostile with two factions. It's tempting though, given that they're offering a unique. Has anybody ever taken him up on the offer? What happens? It wouldn't be tempting if I thought it would take hundreds of days for reputation to recover, but I think reputation resets after the war if things haven't changed. It's weird to me because the faction asking is one I actually am not hostile with, I just choose only one faction to pick on

Is there a good event list with consequences somewhere?

I have not see this event, but got the answer somewhere on this forum: If you accept, you became hostile to the 2 other houses. (and got the unique)

Thanks! I see it now, kind of embarrassing I missed it. Yeah probably worth it if the war is almost over and it's not a small faction asking.

I once took it and after the war ended, the faction I betrayed became hostile to me after giving me a contract to slay some orcs.

I took the weapon and kept it moving, you become hostile to the mentioned house and allied with the one that gave you the weapon imno it was worth to me. Loyalty has a price.

So the reputation was reset to neutral after the war, but they tried to get revenge on you in some way later? Not sure what you mean.

Yeah they gave me a constract and then after I detroyed the Orc camp , an event with a fight against one of their armies triggered.

Huh interesting. Definitely adds some risk. I chose not to again but mostly because the house asking is losing.

some events have randomised ending which you cant affect.
like caravan event with prisoner of war, he may be noble and reward you 3k gold or he may laing and just run from you without paying.
as for that particular event OP talking - i would recomend making choica based on your map
if map is big, factions are separated from each other by big distances,rivers and faction A have enough villges to offer you steady work you can accept their offer without much trouble.
p.s. houses cant really "lose" a noble war -they all just bunch of idiots after all

By losing I mean they've lost territory and have only a few spread out settlements left, so yeah it would be a pain to be restricted to them for any length of time.

Also, you're saying the faction can betray you for no reason at all? Seems like you'd have to do something to piss them off.

I assume it can also happen with factions were at war with in the noble war.
