Does choosing noble as background in the character creation affect the gameplay?

[Akınjı]

Like, NPC's treating you different other than for the higher renown. The banner is also no real insentive since everybody gets one eventually.

[White, the Loiterer]

Some characters will treat you worse and it is harder to become a vassal.

[Thermal Lance]

Some noble wont let you marry their kins if you aint from noble blood. Even if you became one after.

[ULTRA]

Basically, the lower your selection for your character at each step, the more renown you need to get a vassalship offer and the more renown you need to marry

[Erei]

Noble mean you have an easier start. But eventually, all the choices will lead to you becoming noble. I mean, if you choose to. Even a female commoner can become a noble.

Are you sure ? I never had that happen, and I haven't picked noble for several playthrough.

[White Knight]

Starting as a female noble lets you start the game with a nice horse, as I recall?

[Erei]

According to the wiki, noble doesn't give a horse.

Make him/her a noble and ask for marriage. It should work. I didn't try myself tho.

Not only was it true when I last played a female noble in Warband, but the link you provided shows a "Spirited Courser" in the starting equipment (see Adulthood, Lady In Wating). It shows you the benefits for each of the choices throughout the character creation process...you have to actually read the whole thing.

So, you are correct in that it's not just "a horse", it's an excellent horse.

Lady in waiting is not noble. It's the male "squire" equivalent for female.
Noble is part of "your father was", not adulthood.
The "noble" start is 2parts in the wiki, one "base" for everyone, and one male, one female.
It gives a shield, the banner option, 100denars and a bit of renown. No horse.

Lady in waiting is not noble, as can be demonstrated by the fact it doesn't give you the banner option.


You are guaranteed a horse tho, since all the adulthood choices have one. Quality vary.

For anyone who cares, I just went through the process to refresh my memory.

These are the choices:

Female
Impoverished Noble
A page at a nobleman's court
Lady in waiting

You start the game as a female noble, you get to choose a banner, and you get a Spirited Courser to start the game with.

[Erei]

As I said, lady in waiting is different than the noble choice. Which is why, you know, it's a different choice than "noble". And is not named "noble". And you don't have a banner if you pick lady in waiting without picking noble.
You can pick noble and troubadour for example, you will not have the coursier (you'll have a saddle horse instead in this example). Or you can pick thief and lady in waiting and have the coursier, despite not being a noble.

Lady in waiting doesn't mean noble at all, both IRL, in game, and in this specific case. It means you areservant for a noble lady, a close one (you help her for all the matter that are too sensitive for the regular servant, and usually are considered a confident).

Which is also why the lady in waiting equivalent for male is "squire", which is not a noble either.

[White Knight]

As I said, and apparently this needs to be repeated (yet again)...

I really don't care about your opinion of what "noble" means, these are the choices players are given in the game, and this is how starting as a female noble can get a player a Courser to begin the game with.

My first comment was just fine. All of your nonsense is worthless.

[Erei]

You might not care, but the game have a specific concept for "noble". Which is the one people will refer to. And it's called "noble" (I know it's counter-intuitive). It gives a banner, unique dialogues (when you first meet other nobles), and the ability to join feast even if you are below the renown required. It doesn't give any kind of horses tho.
Lady in waiting give you nothing of the sort, but the horse.

Your first command was :

which is simply not true, picking "noble" doesn't give a horse at all, "lady in waiting" does.

I don't know if you don't want to admit being wrong even when it's obvious, or because you have trouble comunicating, but man, that 3 posts for nothing, really.
