Overview of possible companion combinations If the player creates their own faction then they can award a fief to their companions and make them into lords, however the other lords will be displeased if you reward a commoner. All companions have their own backstories like in Vanilla, but in Native Expansion, some powerful (but pricey) companions are added to the game and all other companions are tweaked. Throughout the game you can visit the Tavern where you may find a companion. Indeed, it quickly becomes apparent reading the changes that that was not the goal of the mod.Adjacent characters dislike each other characters with green lines between them like each other. If anything, the change make it less "historically accurate". But just before I left my father handed me his prized sword wrapped in an oily cloth. I told him it was all right.I saw tears in his eyes. To: Eventually, the women of the village, and even my own mother who never seemed to like me, demanded the men and my father drive me out of the village. My mother screamed and wept, but her opinions were of no consequence. Probably saved him worry over where he was going to find the money to marry me off.

Because I was the fourth of four girls, it was no great loss for him to comply. Because it seems to me all the modder wanted was to make the protagonist attitude towards that character more aggresive and demeaning.įrom: Eventually they demanded my father drive me out of the village. I wonder what "historical realism" can be used to explain such change.

To: You truly are the dregs of the street, girl.

I have no read all, but this one in particular caught my attention because of how clearly it shows his agenda:įrom: You truly are the dregs of the street, my lady. Sorry for the rant, got heated for a minute. Once someone's formed an opinion on how things must have been, it's hard work convincing them to do the research to unlearn those "facts," especially if it's something they want to believe because it aligns with how they think society should "return" to. But pop media runs with the whole married-off-at-12 thing and chuds believe it. Most common people were getting married in their 20s and 30s, same as today. And even then in those unions consummation of marriage was typically delayed until people grew older. Yep, people think this is realistic probably because they started from a point of reading a lot of pulpy fantasy and Conan-style barbarian stories, written mostly by men and chock-ful of sexual assault, sexism, and racism, so clearly all old-timey societies were that way.Īs another example some people try to reason that it should be ok for them to have sex with teenagers or younger because "that's when people used to marry hundreds of years ago!" without having done the research to understand that that's when rich or influential people married off their kids for political advantage.
