"Oh no goblins are stealing our carrots, grab an axe and come"..."How did we end up on the other side of the province?"..."We saved the world together"..."Aww you died sorry, guess I need a new partner"

The companion system would be fine. Plenty to choose from, they need to accept, you can ask them to follow or stay (they do their routines, maybe get killed in the woods if you tell them to stay and they are going back towards a city), they have love partner dialogue instead of KOTN dialogue.

Of course that doesn't seperate a lot from the fighter companions, but it would be a change.

Kids got to learn about the birds and the bees at some point don't they?



That's right and don't you forget it!



Every time something new is added it's going to take up resources also didn't Bethesda hire a lot more employees between Oblivion and Fallout?



Not quite all females in TES are Bisixual it's in the Lore people you just need to look.


Anyway I voted yes but if this is going to be implemented it's got to be done different then the ways other games deal with relationships like Fable and GTA.

Honestly? I feel like "Domestic" things should be more or less subtle, or something a player can make himself. The developers...should focus on making heavily customizable adventures. If this makes sense.

i dont think it suits tes, maybe some romance, but i dont see the player (always being some kind of hero) having a wife, i dont know it doenst fit imo.

personally NOT a fan of a 'marriage' in-game...now i do think it would add alot to have more romantic interests/quests in the game, but 'marriage' is too binding for a free form game imo

it would work like that maid in the skingrad place..no offense ladies...not that i think ladies should be maids..ok..ill just shut up now

I put "not sure."

See, in theory I like the idea. However, in a game with a timescale that isn't "10 minutes to a year" it'd be hard to realistically implement. It takes a long time to build and nurture a relationship to the point of getting married.

meh. no.

hmmmm maybe ill get a relationship with the countess he he he he

Or Sims...

Many of us would not appreciate a spouse holding us back from our adventures!

Here's my reason... a wife takes time and commitment. What would a wife do in the Elder Scrolls? Bake sweetrolls? Fetch you beer? There's a maid in Rosethorn hall who does that for you. Your crew in Battlehorn castle, Dunbarrow Cove, and the Brotherhood sancuary do that kind of stuff for you. And realistically, for her you do NOT need to give them the commitment as you would a wife. The lovey dovey factor just wouldn't work out...

Ummm I'm newly married and I said yes, so your ignorant spat makes you look like a tool, anyway I think it would be a very good rp element, and if you have kids I think you should be able to have a setting (much like RP'ers do dead is dead and never use the character again if it dies) where if you die your primary character becomes your choice of which of your children youd like to use.

Also I think it would be good to have actual companions, interactive "friends" for your characters instead of a mindless drone to follow you who cant even repair a weapon. Lets keep in mind for the whole marriage thing its AN OPTION, just like fast travel, I can't stand people who endlessly complain about gameplay aspects that are purely optional and not forced upon you.

Agree with the guy above me about the whole optional thing. I want more optional, unimportant things. Now I know I may take [censored] for this but, I think in that factor Fable II wins.

as Faldom said i agree with the guy above me wich is above Faldom

No way!!!!

I don't want to have to explain to someone everytime I'm going out hunting or on a mission or some job or come home to some nagging man. I want to be footloose and fancy free. It's the least I can ask for in a game.

I'll deal thigh the marriage thing in real life. Oh yeah, and keep the six out of my games too. There's enough of that to go around in real life too and much more fun that way.

Games are for having fun. I like the romp and the journey.

who was suggesting six you know bethsda isn't that orginized to get a prostute in to the studio anyway then theyll have to get a male prostute and most of them won't like that so i doubt theyll do that but in my case ill enjoy coming home to a nagging woman ill say do you want to go to a dugeon with me then she will be happy for a week and may right about her experince

It's optional, like in real life, you don't have to get married if you don't want to, and there are no shotguns in Tamriel so if you get a girl pregnant less chance of having to marry her =)

It felt a little pointless in fable and I doubt anyone can ever make it work properly in a game.

Unless they went out of their way to make sure we have an emotional connection with said wife/husband, I say leave marriage for real life.

Well in Oblivion at the end of it all like the MQ, guilds and even all the misc quests I find the game leaves you feeling very alone and like it's become pointless to even use that character again, I'd go into the houses I own and actually feel bummed out, I guess it didnt help that I was playing in Calgary when my wife (then fiance) was back in Ontario finishing school and I was already very lonely to begin with but yeah lol....

what do you mean? They could have a wife as well of course.

good one

*coughs* I'd much rather preffer a husband, thank you very much. But it would be fun to have relationships, both friendly and romantic. Until then, I just RP it.

sure you sure you would

If your newly married you would be aware of the commitment it takes to have a spouse. If you were some adventure out constantly on missions for his guild, or fighting daedra, or romping dungeons... you probably wouldn't stay married, if you even GOT married.

Although I totally agree with you about the companions. They're probably going to do it just like they did in Fallout 3, so I'm excited! No wife companions though... it would just be awkward. The romance stuff in an elder scrolls game? I don't think so.

That's not entirely accurate a lot of people do have jobs where their away from their spouse for a long time and they stay together. Granted it's a lot more strain on a marriage but it doesn't necessarily mean it would end a marriage.

Exactly! :slap:


Exactly! :shakehead:
Honestly, I wouldn't mind it being in the game, but there are a great number of things I think would be better worth the Devs time
