Silly thread titles aside, this is a serious topic.

We know that you can get married, and we know the game can make dynamic quests via Radiant Story. What I would love to see is having your wife getting kidnapped and you having to save her. The way to save her might be negotiating with criminals and having to do terrible things for her freedom, like having to murder an innocent man in exchange for your wife back.

Even illnesses could be made fun. Imagine that your wife gets a terminal illness, and the cure requires you to harvest kitten pelts or something.

Ultimately, I want to have very tough choices presented for us occasionally that make us choose between saving your spouse by doing something evil, or letting her die for the greater good.

What do you guys think? Discuss! :starwars:

I like it.

That would be awsome I always love having to make those tough choices in a game it makes you feel more involved. in some games they said there would be hard choices but really they were pretty pointless and i felt no remorse. having something like what you just mentioned in the game would be sweet!

I'll kill the innocent person... get my wife back and then punish her for being kidnapped... probably by killing her. Then i'll just find a wife who will stay in the kitchen.

Easy choice imo.

I agree with this fully. The Imperial legion kidnapping "significant other A" would give me a whole new reason to swing a ax intp their skulls.

bah! she got herself into this mess she can get herself out (btw my first wife will be in the dark brotherhood, she can take care of herself :tongue: )

I like it in principle, would have to see implementation to really go further.

anythings better than fables hobbs took your kid crap

I actually, really like this idea.

Even though I'm not a big fan of doing something bad to help me or my friends, wife, family, etc. I'd like it, it would add an extra element to the game with tougher decisions, instead of "Yay, you got teh mushroom, everything is better now Yay!!!"

As long as it doesn't get repetitive, I'm game

Why do people keep saying wife, I'm getting a husband >: O
But either way I would gladly kill to get my husband back, now imagine the stormcloaks/whatever the other side is kidnaps your Husband/Wife to force you to work on their side, of course I will probably end up killing them, No one touches my Hubby >: O

But now OP, why Kitten Pelts?

I wouldn't mind this myself, might add a sense of realism to the Hero/Dark Hero/Neutral Nancy/Villian you are playing.

Kittens for the Greater good FTW!!!

edit: If they try to make me kill virtual kittens my virtual wife will probably die from nirn-ian ebola

"Noooooooooooooooo!!!!"
Anakin followed this path, it did not end well.

The kidnap scenario is nice, especially if they have multiple options:
1) Pay 10000-100000 septims
2) Steal artifact
3) Sneak in MGS style
4) Brute force you way in (imperial army/pet dragon optional) and negotiate, the lives of the remaining kidnappers for your wife.

Give us 10,000 gold by tomorrow night, or your wife dies!

"Ugh, hold on, I'm in the middle of a kickass quest right now!"

*wife is found face down in a ditch*

I think you should take your hand off your lightsaber

/sarcasmoff

Tis a good idea but I think only mods will make it possible.

:foodndrink:

WHOAH! Innuendos. :disguise:

In short. Yes. Long answear. YESSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It would make the world more alive and would give you more things to do.

I like it! I think I'd do anything to save my wife, no matter how evil. It would have to some REALLY sick stuff for me not to, but I can't think of anything. I'd have to be worse than killing my own grandmother by stuffing her only friend, pet dog, down her throat. lol

As you command, M'lady. :laugh:

I just thought of something. Another way the Radiant Story could be useful is for having to rescue a damsel in distress. Maybe a woman that had a high disposition towards you got an abusive boyfriend, and then she asked you to "take care of him" because the guards are useless. You could risk the murder charge and get the girl, or leave her to a falling-down-the-stairs fate. It would be a great morality choice between committing the crime of murder and defending the girl, or not committing murder but letting a woman abuser go.

Even more fun choices!

Seems like someone just had a serious verbal battle with their spouse.

But OT: Radiant Story will have choices all of the time. And what impresses me is they vary depending on previous ones you made so far on that playthrough. So there will be no shortage of tough decisions

I'm always at the ready for a D.I.D.(Damsel In Distress) quest.
But I wouldn't call it "murder". I mean, obvious reasons, the other guy had a knife to her throat! Thats just "D.I.D. 101"
Slay the beast, get the girl. I'm In.
