You didn't ask anything, what was I supposed to answer? I wouldn't answer anything anyway, as you insist on being rude.

That's... kind of difficult to answer at this moment in time. I'll just have to see whether I actually meet someone I like THAT much :blush: That's because I tend to get so attached to my character I act out anything the way I would in real life. So reminding myself that this is just a game and I can get away with anything won't work for me...
But just like for anyone else, it will be something to look into after the main quest... and potentially something to spend all of that excess gold on :teehee:

I came with an argument against your statement, which you refused to respond to.

It's not my intention to be rude, if I seem that way I apologize. I just think what you said was utter bull, so I had to say something.

I love Bethesda but I wouldn't be surprised if a love relationship in Skyrim is about as one dimensional as owning a pet. Which is why I think this is best left for mods because they already do a good job at this. However there is potential here since Bethesda will do some extra ground work with the coding and then turn loose the mod tools. Someone mentioned earlier about real life girlfriends naggin'. While I don't care to see a naggin' NPC I care to see an NPC that has it's own desires and wishes for our relationship. Even to the point the NPC will leave/divorce me. A relationship is something that 2 people put into it. But I fear this will be no more complex than me doing some quests then some flirty dialog then I can do "cool" things like have them change outfits at my command or say a compliment to make them smile or something. Basically owning a pet.

This is surprising but welcome in my opinion. More game play options other than "kill stuff" is a good thing in my opinion. There shouldn't be any racial or gender restrictions in my opinion. I wouldn't expect much depth because if you think about it there isn't much depth in stuff like advancing through guild ranks either. It doesn't have to be perfect to be there in my opinion.

Hell naw, my PC is a ladies man, one to the next. Unless there's a real special someone...

I am very curious how people who have actual real-life spouses feel about this feature?

Wait does that count as cheating on them?

Those kinds of curious questions is why I'm asking. :whistling:

Depends on how well it is implemented, if well I could use it once or twice to annoy him but beyond that it doesn't seem like it would even be mentioned at all. Though if its fable or dragon age horrible we'd both probably watch the "romance" to get a good laugh out of it.

I am definitely ecstatic about this feature. I have wondered whether Betheseda would do it for a while now, and have had a good feeling it would be. I am surprised to see an answer to this question, and a positive yes.

I am confident Betheseda can implement this better than Fable could. Finally, now I know that, PERHAPS my nord warrior can marry that hot bar maid, lol! (I hope she's hitchable? If not, I'm sure there will be plenty of other good choices :biggrin: )

Elder Scrolls is not all about the combat, you know. For people who actually like to live out their character's lives in Skyrim, this feature will add just another thing our characters can do outside of combat and questing.

PS. By the way, loved the part about bar brawls! :celebration:

= end of civil war?.....PROBLEM SEPARATISTS?!

I don't think that would bother people too much.

The game isn't The Sims either.

How come the NPC can not have a personal preference to what they think is attractive be it a specific gender or race? It wouldn't make sense if every single person in Skyrim would marry every imaginable race/six combination you could play. If this were a six game, sure. Since it's not, it would make more sense that NPCs have varying restrictions to what they are attracted to. Everybody's got them to one degree or another.




I expect depth though because a relationship is more personal and involved than hanging out with your buddies in the guild. It's different from any other type of relationship so it would be cool if it did have a complexity and depthness to it.

ewww. I hope not.

I want to push my wife/pack mule/slave off the throat of the world

That's not what I meant. I meant all combinations should be possible, not that every single NPC would be for it.

I for one can't wait to see the world renowned social interaction simulation masterminds at Bethesda implement this:

Breton: Saw a mudcrab the other day. Wanna have six?

I wonder how stupid those people that responded with "This isn't the Sims, nub!" whenever someone started a thread about having a family feel now.

Now I understand why we never got a confirmation or denial following that fishy GameBandits.com article

I wish I was as cool as you two. :sadvaultboy:

ha I remember that article, created ALOT of buzz for a while!

Post Limit Incoming!

I never thought I'd see Bethesda toss this in as there'd never really been any sort of romance elements in previous games (except for the one questline in Morrowind). There were hardly even prominent couples (except for the Argonian mage and her dreamy boyfriend...ba dum tish). My one hope is that they enable you to marry any race/gender. Who wouldn't want to be with the Dovahkiin anyway! Your character is pretty much the most amazing person in history.
