Ah.ShaperV said:False. Half-commoner bastards aren't eligible to inherit, and no one cares if you keep mistresses even if they get pregnant. You would be expected to support them in that case, but it isn't a problem as long as their mothers aren't nobles.
Um, no, actually if you go six months without taking a lover people are going to wonder what's wrong with you and start speculating that you might be gay. That will hurt your rep a lot more than anything else we've been talking about would.
That's something i would have liked to know sooner, as both those things are very big divergence on real life stuff (Bastard have been historically a very big potential of heirloom and a threat to any brother/sisters).
So, another question: You are saying people might speculate that we are gay and it would hurt our rep- are you saying it sees being gay as a bad thing? That's also very weird historically as beign gay being a bad thing was more or less only unforced by the christian church, in most other cultures it was considered in more interesting ways. E.G greeks where only the person receiving was considered 'badly', and only if that person was old, as it was considered 'good' for younger men to be taught like that by their mentor/superior officers, etc etc.
This looks a bit like it's christian-kind of culture, except for the whole sex guilt and the fact that bastard aren't a very significant threats.
