Master Knight
I noticed that you're now able to choose which nation your character spawns in. This gave me an idea.
The choices would go like this:
Gender:
Birthplace [one of the factions]:
Father's Occupation:
Youth:
Occupation:
Reason for Adventuring:
The birthplace is obviously the main new thing here. It would have a serious effect on your starting skills and equipment - for example, if your father was a veteran soldier for Rhodoks, you might get a board shield, a pick, maybe a spear, and have lots of starting athletics and polearms proficiencies; whereas if your father was a veteran soldier for Swadia, you would get a heater shield, a sword, a horse, and riding skills.
This would mean that whichever faction you chose would lead to a different menu, or something. The options in the next menu might have the same choice names, but the results of those choices would differ based on what you had chosen the previous faction.
