Getting Hitched

Post » Wed Jul 06, 2011 2:31 pm

They did. So the roleplayers who confuse real life with visual life can get pleased. Core mechanics like long-melee ranged combat and medium armor for more movement/armor variety had to be out.


Theyre not and never were core mechanics, nor even core game features. And the only reason Med armour was as popular as it was in Morrowind was because it was OP and had the most OP unique items. Spears you might have a point with, but from what Ive seen theres far people who would rather have more interaction with NPCs than there are who would want spears.

Time well spent, IMO.

Dude do you have a real girlfriend?
Real girls are always nagging, and you always gotta please them, and when you do something slightly stupid you'll hear about it for the rest of your life.
Now "visual girls" only have a few lines recorded and at the end of the day you can turn off the game and you dont have to sleep next to it.

...Waits for GF to read this :obliviongate: *shudders*


Yeh, whenever I pointed my TV remote at my ex-gf and tried to hit the Mute or Power button all it did was make her mad. And when I went to the hardware store and told them I needed a new remote because my old one was broken, she left me. Like wtf? Crazy women logic, I can never understand them.

Shame I don't like lizards or stuck-up altmers,although the Bosmer always struck me as "open to new experiences" :hubbahubba:



Why do you think they're called 'wood' elves? ;)

Guilty as charged!

divorce

That would be a good question and probably a feature that might be added in depending on what you do or what your partner does.

I'm kinda skeptical, but if Beth took the time to do it I think they'd want to make it pretty good.

My god this is getting ridiculous. It feels like i am on the Bioware forums with everyone warning that ''there better be same six marriage''. It was threads like these that absolutely destroyed the Bioware forums. I'm not against it but stop going on about it FFS.

If s/s is included, I hope the options are a few races (please wood elves!) and not just one or two characters so those of us who want s/s can only have like Argonian or something. Those teeth scare me a bit :P


So hopefully there's at least 1 NPC of each gender to romance across all races (as far as both het and s/s are concerned)

I think some people are overreacting just a bit. What this does for me is create a bit more emotional attachment to the game world and characters, which for me increases the relative value(monetary and otherwise) of the time I spend playing the game. Much like the Dog does in Fable 2. Plus, now I can have someone to polish all that loot I leave in my house.

Edit: Its a good book. The story is better if you actually care about things like a character dieing. Why read a book if you couldnt care less about what happens?

But if they do this relationships stuff like Fable does it, I shall meet you at the Bethesda offices. Ill bring the torches and pitchforks.

Not necessarily. If for some reason the culture of Skyrim looked down upon same six marriage, then that's the way it'd be. Same six marriage is still a new concept for the majority of the world :P


I've always been curious as to how the TES races view homosixuality. I mean, obviously it exists and there are some rare occasions of it (I think) but nothings really been said about that.

Thats true I just wonder how much resource they are gonna want to dedicate to something not all people will want to use?
I hope at least there's small things that happen semi regularly, like needing to bring home food or money mabe protect your spouse on a journey to another town, I hope she'll make me apple pie :D

What 'destroyed' the Bioware forums was pure, undiluted idiocy and a lack of any strict moderating.

I have to agree, I think the rules here will keep everything in order but the threads will start poping up if Beth doesn't announce their stance, I'd give it a couple of weeks. It depends does Beth want to take the middle ground and appease everybody but adds more controversey to the game in the process or will they take a stance and alieniate some people which then adds controversey to the game although not as much as the former. It's a lose, lose situation but Beth dealt their hand when they announced this feature. I'm neutral myself on this issue and don't want to take sides. I think the forum will do the debate in a way that's reasonable and won't start Flaming wars and other crap.

Give it a week, there'll be 5 same-six marriage mods, 2 of which come packaged in a pregnancy mod.
