The wiki page suggests that a female character 'may gain more from a marriage than her male counterpart', but it doesn't elaborate on this.
It is very direct - find the lord you want to marry, increase your relationship with him, and then ask to 'cement the alliance to their house'. The system for marriage for women may be considered simpler, but possibly more difficult. The marriage system for men and women is also different. If you play as a woman, the lord who owns the castle associated with your village granted to you will deny you entry into his castle. In addition, it is more difficult to get a fief as a woman, unless you have a large amount of Renown (700). The base requirement to join a faction is 150 for men, but 200 for women. A similiar change in starting skills applies to a woman of nomad background compared to the male counterpart.Īs a female character, you will need more Renown to do things.
In addition, a woman of noble background will have different starting skills to a man of noble background: women will get Riding, Wound Treatment, and First Aid instead of Power Strike and Tactics. When you play as a female character, your starting stats will change - you will, relative to a male character, have +1 AGI and +1 INT, but -1 STR and -1 CHA.
