It seems that you can now get married in the game, according to Bruce Nesmith:

7) Will we be able to have relationships with the NPCs, romantic or otherwise?
Bruce: Absolutely! You make friends with people by doing things for them. Friends in the game will treat you differently. Some of them will even agree to go with you into dungeons and on adventures. You can even get married. If you own a house, your spouse will move in with you.

What do you think about this new feature?

Will your PC get married?

Divorced?

Will you remain faithful or perhaps flirt with other NPCs behind your spouse's back?

I hope there will be same six marriages...

No. I'm a lone wolf.

I will definelty take advantage of the marriage system.

I will find myself a beautiful female redhead (not Argonian or Khajiit) and make little dragon babies

I'm not sure whether my character will get married. Maybe!

Probably not but I'm wondering/hoping that once people take a spouse, the spouse becomes essential and you can't kill them or otherwise abuse them so we don't have a bunch of threads bragging about how someone killed their wife or husband. :shakehead: Because that would svck.

:tes:

Im kinda exited to see how it will work.

I know.... there are going to be some sick people that will roleplay wife murderers and they should be struck down by Sithis

I hope they do too, because I don't feel like getting on the forums everyday to see a thread about how people aren't having their voices heard or aren't being treated fairly or something else.

Three six marriages!

I could have married Tulip in Fallout I would have.

I won't use it unless it's very well executed.

This. If there's gay marriage, my Nord lady which will be my first character will probably get hitched with whatever lady strikes her fancy and is available. If there isn't...well...in addition to being pissed, then I'll get around to getting married later then, and wait for a mod for it, assuming I don't make one myself.

and this is ONE reason why marriage is a bad idea to put in a game.

In any case, it's a waste of time and resources and something that TES doesn't need. I will never get married or have a "Companion" in the game. EVER!!

Now everyone can have their own lusty Argonian maid wife.

Only if http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Morrowind:Ahnassi is back...

S/S is a double edge sword that will give Beth problems in the upcoming months, but then again they made their bed when they've announced the feature. I personally don't care but the controversey will happen eventually, whether it's tomorrow, 11-12-11, or a couple of months from now. Sure the feature will get praise and I'm interested in seeing how far it can go but you do have baggage and S/S is indeed baggage (That's not a bad thing though but that's entirely up to you).

I don't. Maybe it is because i'm some kind of bigoted homophobe, but I don't think the hero of skyrim should be gay. It is a video game, not a gay pride convention. Second, In Ancient times homosixuality was certainly frowned upon, and commonly illegal, therefor it wouldn't work well in a game taking place in that period.

Would you like to borrow my flame shield?

Biothesda presents: SKYRIM: The Dragon Massage Effect!


I just had to make that joke, it's perfect. :hehe:

Whether or not same-six marriage is legal Skyrim is one thing, but I hope they will at least acknowledge homosixual relationships exist.

That was funny. :laugh:

Beth will have to make a decision on that and quickly before the forums rage enough that Rohugh transforms into a WereBear. I'm personally neutral on the subject matter and don't care what Beth's decison is on it but it's a lose, lose situation for BGS/Softworks.

This feature, if true, is pretty cool.

He better.

In Ancient times? First, what the hell do ancient times have to do with anything? For the millionth time, Tamriel is not "Earth in the past." Second, that is absolutely incorrect. The Romans had no problems with homosixuality and according to someone, vikings didn't mind it either.

You don't think the hero of Skyrim should be gay? That's fine, don't make your hero of Skyrim be gay. I don't think the Dovahkiin should be an Elf, but I'm sure as hell not going to suggest that people can't make an Elf.

"It's a video game, not a gay pride convention" is also one of the silliest things I've ever heard, on par with some racist guy saying "It's called Nascar, not Blackcar" at the idea of a black person in Nascar.
