Additionally, you're playing the part of a mercenary in a war-torn land. Why wouldn't they want to talk to you, and hire your band?
yeah but still a mercenary who has 10 peasants following him and isn´t known at all( and probaly has broken weapons and stuff)
is still an peasant in their eyes
i usally play the game with an pretty hard background no noble and stuff
but if i wanted i could be a vassal at day 20 wich is including battles like 2 hours playing after that i get bored and start a new player
it could also be optional and they ask u this at the beginning of the game
