The stuff about "being without a father" was still there, but I didn't really see anything in the dialog that pointed toward him trying to become the breadwinner. His sister is upset because she doesn't want him to leave, true - but she's young enough that she might not understand (or, at least, not buy into) the philosophy that males need to leave when they come of age (especially when it applies to her precious big brother).

A Tia leaving the family and going on an adventurer's journey fits right in with the lore, I think.
I started the quest 10 seconds after it became available, it was always about going on an adventure, it never mentioned wanting to start a new tribe or wanting to become a Nuhn.

Chances are tribes aren't a thing in big cities, and when daddy is out of the picture it doens't mean son is forced to become a Nuhn when they are living in a city, so a Tia without a living father could be possible (or maybe the father is alive and went to buy milk and cigarettes).
