No Love for Khajit? : V

» Tue Nov 29, 2011 11:58 am

I just checked the Marriage section of the Elder Scrolls wiki and noticed that there is not a single Khajit NPC, male or female, that is available for marriage. As a whole, it seems Nords are overwhelmingly represented, even above the other 3 human races.

Is the list just incomplete, or has Bethesda simply shafted the non-Nords when it comes to settling down?

bump, because these forums move ridiculously quickly.

I am pretty sure the lack of Khajiit and Argonian spouses as well as children of those kinds, and orcs for the matter, is more due to "ethical" reasons than game world/feasibility reasons.

Elaborate please.

Alright... Here goes,

The Internet.

There. That is your answer.

The 'ethics' argument falls flat since Khajit players are forced to marry outside their race. Not to mention far more controversial things have been present in video games in regards to love and sixuality (Mass Effect and Dragon Age come to mind).

Khajiit don't like the cold so much. I've yet to see an argonian period, let alone one to marry lol. Nords = Northern Canadians = crazy tolerance for cold.

That's another thing I've noticed. I don't think there is a single Khajit NPC that isn't either in a traveling caravan or a bandit. There are a few argonians, most noticeably in Riften.

Then what is your theory?

I understand your desire to use the anti-bestiality argument as the reason for no Khajiit/Argonian spouses but... why did you say this was also the reason there were no khajiit/argonian children?

My guess is that Bethesda made the number of marriageable NPCs in proportion to the races' population in Skyrim. Hence the overwhelming majority of Nords, large minority of Imperials, a few Bretons and Redguards, and a small smattering of elves.

If they truly wanted there to be no inter-species marriage, why would they have no spouses available for Khajit?

I think there are about three Argonians on the marriage prospect list. The only race not present at all are the Khajiit.

I ,ade a thread on this in the spoilers forum, it seems like there are no wood elves either, or male high elves, while there are far too many Nords.

If I remember correctly, two of the Argonians are in Windhelm and the last one is bugged somewhere in a dungeon.

One of the travelers said something like they weren't welcome in the cities, so maybe that has something to do with it. Your spouse would always be caravanning around Skyrim, you'd be... doing whatever it is Dovakhiin do and you wouldn't know where to find each other. :ermm:

» Tue Nov 29, 2011 7:28 am

The developers probably just overlooked it. Why do people always bring in "ethics" and the like?

» Tue Nov 29, 2011 4:24 am

It is a little unfair :/ Hopefully it will become different with patches/DLC. Considering there is only one High Elf to marry. Only one. x__x And I don't even know what she looks like yet. I didn't WANT my High Elf to be a lisbian, but since she'd rather die than marry outside her race....guess she's gonna have to get used to other womenz...

But hey there is still hope, there may be more marriageable people than we know, we just haven't found some of the harder to convince ones yet.

I don't think many right-headed people would want to argue with a Thane (requirement for house) over the matter of having a Khajit spouse, let alone the Dovahkin himself.

You're in for disappointment then. The only High Elf that you can marry is an incredibly irritating clothing merchant in Solitude.

I rescued that Argonian in the dungeon and he married my male Khajiit :3

He's not bugged in the dungeon in Darkwater Pass, look around the room above his cell and there is a lever in a corner that opens a secret wall, it leads to the cage door. You can also marry him too if you want, that's what I did. :hugs:

I've read that he is bugged and stays in the dungeon, and thus never stays in your house. Is this true or just a one-off bug for that certain wiki editor?

He left the dungeon. I would take him to my house if I had one, but for now I think he stays in the mine at Darkwater crossing. He mines there at least.

:/ How irritating? If she's just snooty I can live with it....otherwise Aellesia gets to be forever alone.

Well, that might explain where he keeps running off to, my male Argonian doesn't see him that much and I gave him good armor and a wicked sword too.
