no infact it would be nearly as pointless I think, I don't think Skyrim needs anymore "explicit" content as it may already have, its difficult enough to get a decent game without the pointless uproar such content provides, I rather it not stir up the hypocritical fires of todays society, mainly the US, were it is fine to behaed people and swear every other word, its even seeping into childrens cartoons these days but woe the moment a pair of fine jiggling melons pop out.


Either go all the way or don't go at all, a simple fade to black is utterly pointless as if desired one can easily surmise as much while "waiting" or "resting" Games like Dragon age and Mass effect are prime for such features -because they end- they are linear, the romance plot climbs along with the main plot, in TES one can ignore the MQ and go about their business and then what? is the companion put on pause? the "magick" will surely fade quickly no?


If Skyrim wont feature "complex" characters like FO3 did, which weren't that complex to begin with and pretty clunky, one shouldn't expect romance or six, real life six is better....or worse anyway.

:shrug:
I don't see a reason not to include it. They're not making the next GTA, it'll be Skyrim. There were things like this in Oblivion and Fallout, and it did a good enough job. Sure it wasn't purfect, but it wasn't in your face about it either which is what I was talking about. It just adds to the world. Might as well include something of the sort. Will the fade to black add anything? Well, no. Its a fade to black. But the next day you could ask her for some information about high ranking official x to get some dirt on him.

As for a wife, I don't really remember saying to add that. Having it like they have had it in past games would allow for at least some rping. Completely cutting off an rp option is never a good thing. Its not completely pointless to allow another way to play the game. Having no romance just takes away someone else's rping idea. Adding that option is hardly pointless. At least let characters have some flings or something. Either go all the way or not at all is way to black and white for my tastes. Sure it would be ideal to allow people to play any which way they want. But its a touchy subject, so they can't go all the way on it. But they might as well add a little bit, just to allow for extremely creative people to come up with their own little stories in their head.

jesus christ why do people care so much? i couldn't give less of a damn about this. it'll be cool if its in, it'll be cool if its out. at least we all know if there will be some kind of romance in then it wont be as cheesy as in bioware's games.

if you really want it in, you'll get a mod for it if it wont be in, if you really want it out, you can mod it out even easier than putting it in. modders have a way of doing things better than the developers anyways!

inb4 PC version ...

Well, before there is a lock, I agree...no six in Skyrim...Those of us reading the Elder Scrolls...We are a tidbit too classy for fornication...lol

I hope they include romance, relationships and stuff when they hire professional writers and not sooner.

I hope there is going to be at least some "spark" between the opposite sixes in the game. It just shouldn't go too far. At least I don't want to feel like playing a too duty obsessed character or an eunuch that is not interested of the opposite six at all.


It just shouldn't go too far. Just like the violence in the game. At least I wouldn't mind some hugs, even though I'm playing as a "fricking" lizard.

Does this kind of sight make your head blow off in disgust?

They can hire me! I'll work for Bethesda!

So you are against consensual six with a romantic love interest but you'd be fine if they only included six with prosttutes? ... Am I the only one that sees something wrong with that idea? :whistling:


I'd be fine with it, fine without it. I wouldn't expect a deep system like in a Bioware game but having options, even romantic ones, is never a bad thing in my opinion.

Bwahahahaaa almost like real life.

Some how I don't think six will be an issue. Though it's been implied, they've never had it in any previous Elder Scrolls games, from what I heard a visual mattress dance would take time. Time, effort and focus away from the things Bethesda actually wants to focus on.


Now nudity is a different matter, it has been in Elder Scrolls games before (Daggerfall), and from what I've read and heard, its been a topic that has come up in development since Daggerfall.

Hahahaha :lmao:

Oh you Americans and your attitude towards six. (Either that or you're a small child)

Some of you really make me laugh. It's perfectly fine to gruesomely dismember and murder an innocent person with an axe, but as soon as six comes into the picture NO, TABOO! I guess that's American culture for you. Hopefully Skyrim will shed some of the children (less mature people) from the fanbase that Oblivion picked up.

I don't see how people could care so much. If they're really worrying about how well it could be implemented, are they really going to knowingly pursue having relations with an NPC, seething the whole time due to this outrageous implementation, just to finally throw away their mouse/keyboard in utter disgust at the poorly animated polygonal climix? Personally I couldn't care less. Might add some depth though.

Well, I certainly wouldn't like six being like a mini-game or something, and "six-scenes" don't seem right for TES, since we don't really have scenes for anything else. Although, I would like have an option at least to flirt with npcs. I'm not sure that someone, who says:

does actually get what a rpg is. You are supposed to play a role here, the way YOU like it, and do whatever YOU feel is good for your character. I'm not in favor of super-ultra-hardcoe-reality, but sixuality is quite important aspect of human life, and human interactions. Not having sixuality at all makes me feel like attending catholic* sunday school: you can do absolutely anything you want. Except six. Because six is ewww.
That just doesn't seem right.
And as for having six in game being pathetic. I don't see how it is more pathetic than sitting in front of your PC, eating chips and building a muscular, beautiful character that fights dragons in a fantasy game world.

*Don't get offended, I'm catholic too.

i don't want six or romance in my game even if it is an option

I'll just trust you and support you for no reason at all.

Oh my Lord...

Perhaps if you didnt want to engage in the horrors of relationships and whatnot in game...then you could just choose...'no thanks' as a comment in the conversation screen.

That way you would not have to be exposed to the potential 'filth' and could avoid any time in 'the gutter'.

Just remember....No means No...right.

I wouldn't mind it, at least the flirt part; actual romantic relationship with the NPC will be a bit difficult to pull off given the nature of the game as it's not companion based like Baldur's Gate forexample. However they had it before with Ahnassi, even if it could've been done a little differently. It wasn't entirely bad imo.

I'd like to introduce you to detective http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kate_Warne (1833- January 28, 1868).

ELPRES?????

God forbid! Seriously, why do Bethesda even bother putting NPCs you can talk to in their RPGs? They should just do away with that 'characterisation' stuff and everyone should just attack you.

I wouldn`t mind some six but I`d trade the feature for 5 unique items.

And that`s where I think the focus should go.

Romance doesn't have to be associated with six. Besides, with some a large female audience coming to the market, there is no reason not to have a romantic story. Romance is an important aspect of story telling and of our humanity. I would expect an epic like this to have some sort of romance. Good heavens! Even Conan the Barbarian had some sort of romance!!!!

I honestly don't understand why a rational person would argue to limit the game. Bethesda's track record (Daggerfall/Battlespire aside) suggests that if it is included it'll be optional and something you have to go out of your way to engage in, so if you aren't interested DON'T DO IT! The argument that it'll be a waste of dev time is stupid, its not a very time-consuming feature unless they code a minigame UI for it, which is so unlikely that even talking about it is a waste of time.

I'd prefer the devs keep thinking in terms of what they can do rather than what they can't.

Sorry about being really late with this reply. BUT :tes: games aren't based on killing OR romance. They are a RPG that lets you experience almost everything amazing within reason. So.. Don't play Skyrim expecting it to be a first person shooter. -.-

Again.. Sorry about the late reply.
