No, there is no such info on this.

there will be no families/kids becuase there can only be 1 dovahkiin

You heard wrong. Go play the Sims if this is an important feature for you.

just tryin to add some realism to it, dont got to be a jerk about itXD

@OP
i guess you'r e new here. thsi community is fond of living on their own in dark boxes. they hate hte idea of relationships in TES and making a thread about it will ensure you get flamed. i'm all for relationships in the game, but i think i'm one of the few out there.

Not the only, but I personally would rather see modders handle it as I think they'll do it better, especially if it's someone like Emma or Kateri. Anyway, these threads tend not to end well...

An optional relationship may be a little interesting, but I don't see how going the whole nine yards and making your own family will tie in with the theme of the game well.
You'd probably wind up with a dead-beat dad, never home, out wondering the wilderness.

not in the wildest dreams will it happen. the septim line was of dragonborn blood. if your character gets a family, it equals a line of dragonborn which equals to a highly possible future line of emperors.

so tell us, if it was possible, what race should this line of dragonborn be? what race should the emperor that you meet in the next installment be?

First off you shouldn't talk to people like that Greg. He/she wants to have families there's no problem with that. As for golliath you're not alone many of us wouldn't mind the "option" of being able to have a relationship, though the many of us that might want it for the most part realize that it is very difficult to make it tastefully done, fables was a bit crude, and a family can be demanding when it comes to a massive world depending on you to be out most of the time it makes the realism of maintaining a family difficult. So I believe because of these reasons and several others bethesda will continue to steer away for now, maybe the next TES around things might be a bit different.

The other key factor is that Fable's story takes place over long years. TES games tend to be a much shorter horizon, thus the idea of a "family" is a little too long a timeline for TES games.

I can see relationships, so long as they're brilliantly well written, but "families" has two main problems for me:
i) Timeline
ii) What's fun about it?

Diaper changing mini-games? Making sure your hovel is well stocked with mashed vegetables? Rest periods interrupted with screaming infants?

You're right, TES would benefit greatly from a system where you can fart and pelvic thrust your way into a one-dimensional NPC's heart and have her spawn an equally uninteresting child about twenty minutes later. Maybe you could craft some sheepskin condems if you want to hold off on it. Lots of smithing experience there.

Seriously, I don't understand the fascination with romance and families in a sandbox action RPG that's focused entirely on dungeon-delving and exploration. What would be the damn point? There really wasn't one in Fable apart from justifying Peter Molyneux's filthy lies embellishments about his shallow ten-hour action/adventure games that are impossible to lose. Your character is a blank slate devoid of any history or emotion, and the most interaction you have with NPCs on a personal level is asking about topics, and frankly I'm fine with that. And my comment wasn't meant to be disparaging, it was serious. There are tons of games where you can simulate family life far better than you could in a first-person action RPG where you'll spend 90% of the time away from your home. Quit demanding that it be shoehorned into a series that is poorly-equipped to handle it and frankly has no reason to include it whatsoever.
