six/marriage in RPGs is so fake and boring. But keep the children in as reality.
Realism? are you joking? they tried this with Fallout and we all know how that ended. Every PTA moron went "ZOMG FOAR TEH CHILDREN!!" and it made kids unkillable, which almost COMPLETELY broke Little Lamplight.
That's exactly what we need for Skyrim, a bunch of arrogant brats running around and unless you mod it on the PC, you have to deal with it.
And before anyone says I'm overreacting, I'm one of those guys that killed half of Cyrodiil just because I overheard another conversation concerning Mudcrabs.
