As it happens, by the time you're choosing your character's rights, you'll have a bunch of local, immediate information to work with. You'll know whether another player is playing your liege, for instance, and you'll have a guess what kind of liege she'll be. You'll know what language your neighbors read and write. You'll know whether the stronghold has access to an abundance of laborers or whether you'll have to pry soldiers away from the war-captain in order to get anything done!
It's not important to the design that the rights be equally appealing, absent setup, at all.
This makes D.B. go "Gotcha. Cool."
