Griffith’s amour set and epee are kinda renaissance era, and this game is around middle age (before the Fall of Constantinopolis), adding them to the game may be not that lore-friendly than you think.
about horses, we all want them, but the developers currently are being “mean”, they dont even give a horse for the noble knight.
about our captain, its a pity, as i said, they are “mean” xD
about profession/character’s background, for now im quit satisfied with their background-based events
