Indeed, but Henry is still not a full blue blood, not nobility, though he does have a claim to it.
Except if you're a schizo French chick who hears voices and get the heir to the throne to simp for you
The Grey Warden are technically chosen ones and are treated like someone exceptional/heroes, in spite of their pretty much criminal background (because the Grey Warden accept anyone who has the will and the skill to fight the Blight).
Am I missing something, wasn't he just a son of a very accomplished blacksmith?
Technically any grey warden can end the blight so being one of them is not necessarily being teh chosen one and the protag in DAO doesn't even have to do it himself in the end. While The Warden is just another warden, Geralt is one of a kind witcher.
In some cases commoners could be knighted for extraordinary military services but not sure how common that was in late Middle Ages where the game takes place. My guess is not very, if it was possible at all. Plus Radzig would have to intervene with the king to make that happen, he couldn't have done it himself.
That depended a whole lot on the particular case – some nobles cared for their children even if they were bastards, and made sure to give them cushy jobs. More importantly though, they could claim nobility. The stain of bastardry was on them, sure, it but was still better than being a peasant. I believe Capon even mentions this at some point?
Well, here's your problem: the king is in house arrest while his brother (trying to take the throne) torched Henry's village.
The blacksmith is only his foster father.
You already got a chance to play as a strong womyn stealth kiing cumans in the DLC.
Except you have to survive the ritual, which is what makes you special. It is true you aren't the only one, but you're still one of the Chosen. What changes is that the number goes up from singular to plural, while still maintaining the exclusivity of the position. You can also have the Morrowind's treatment: you're the Chosen One, but there were other Chosen Ones before you and if you were to fail there would also be more Chosen Ones after you (hypothetically).
I disagree. Geralt is one of the Witchers. What makes him special is plot armor, similarly to what makes Conan special.
To be the Chosen One you need to be unique in some way. Frankly, being a bastard son of a noble is not THAT special. At best you could have a bit more influence via your relative, if he were to be in a position of power. But you could be knighted as a peasant, too, for exemplary performance or service. A knight can make another knight. In the end what makes Henry special is being the player character in the game, not much else. Then again, getting knighted can be considered an extraordinary event.
Just dump that boring shit, I already didn't care about whatever mission at the end.
She did get burned at the stake like a garbage hag, so I'm not sure that's the case.
I have finally found the one single soul on this forum who has not heard of Skyrim's Loverslab mods.
To be fair, one of the characters does call Henry out very early on for receiving unusually special treatment not due to a blacksmith's son.
Stealth archer build is pretty powerful, especially if you pick the perk that gives you a concealment bonus in the wilds. You can grind bow skill (if you need to) by repeating the "chumps" minigame in Ledetchko.
It's great, even broken. You can buy the best armour from a smith and then steal all his gold and stuff like that. You can sneaky kill a lot of enemies. Still - you have to know how to fight as there are some unavoidable battles; but if you are not playing hardcore, as soon as you learn riposte every duel is a breeze (fighting more enemies can still be hard, but doable).
