And then you'll always be away on quests and it's all "Cat's in a cradle with a silver spoon" Harry Chapin on your kids. When you are around the house you'll be "Daddy drinks because you cry!"

For the female characters, do they stop questing for a year so they can have this kid before they hand them off to a wetnurse? Are they going to set the game mechanics so you can guilt trip your children? What's the point of being a mother in game if you can't make the kids hate their father?

I don't think kids should happen, but I think Romance would be a welcoming change to the game. Got a companion love to hang with? Marry them, seems like it would be an interesting thing to add to the series.

Not gonna happen and I'm damn happy about it, to hell with having relationships in games!

it'd be a safe bet to say that they will not be in skyrim, maybe the next game. I'll bet a total of 100 Kilowatts on that, or 5000 caps.

I don't feel like the whole relationship/children thing would work in a game such as this.

I do, however, feel that the game would be better if child NPCs were in it. Its hard for me to get immersed in a game where everyone is an advlt.
I mean, Fable has child NPCs, and Fallout has them, why not the Elder Scrolls?
