I just thought of something to do. I'm going to make an argorian who seduces and marries elves only to murder them in their sleep.

You've must have hated New Vegas then...



This point is moot. Homosixuality is well accepted in The Elder Scrolls universe, heck look at the sixual exploits of Vehk.

In case you haven't noticed, Nirn doesn't follow earth. In medieval times, males and females weren't equal, in ES they always have been.
I see no reason why there shouldn't be same six marriage. Maybe not have NPCs married of the same six, but I certainly want it an option for the player.

Please stay on topic unless you want this thread to be locked.

Because all marriage discussion is funneled to this thread, it is on topic.


1.) This isn't ancient times.

2.) EXISTING is not making the game a gay pride parade. How dare people... exist! How dare they be able to simply be what they are and not pretend to be invisible! :facepalm: You can murder and steal and be an all around idiot but allow your character to like the same gender in 'that way?' Oh the horror!

If you don't want him to be gay... then guess what. You don't have to make him (or her for that matter) that way.


It's somehow escaped much 'controversy' in other games where it's there. When reasons for prejudice turn out to be without any merit, that prejudice begins to weaken very rapidly, at least in a free society. Interracial marriage was even more controversial 50 years ago than this is now.

I suspect the majority of players would probably be in favor of same six marriage/romance options.

If I play a female character, for example, should I be forced to marry a male NPC?

I don't understand why it's a lose/lose. Are straight people going to boycott the game because it includes homosixual characters? I doubt it, pretty much every game, tv show and movie is culturally aware enough to not exclude this demographic :rolleyes:

@Sovern, It's not that straight people will boycott this game, it's places like UAE and Australia that might outright ban it from being bought there. (Australia for other reasons like Blood, I just used them as an example because they ban stuff for the most dumb things).



Skyrim will be more mainstream then Fable that's why there will be more controversey. Even more of a reason for Beth to come out with their stance instead of hiding in a Bomb Shelter.

Marriage in RPGs ruins the experience for me, so i'll be avoiding that aspect of the game

Personally, I'm thrilled. If I try it and I don't like it, I just won't use the feature with my other characters. It certainly adds a new level of realism to the gameplay. We'll see how it goes.

what how is someone asking for homosixual relationships to be in the game a bad thing, if marriage makes the world feel more real and believable its a good thing in my book

No, not really, In Europe middle ages, a common punishment was death.

I honestly doubt that my character will get married, but that is only because of her backstory, as she is a wandering Knight/Healer, that has dedicated herself to the Nine Divines, mostly to Kynareth.

If you want to see how it's a lose/lose, check out the Bioware forums.

After the main quest and the world is saved ill settle down with a bar waitress.

As far as I knew homosixuality was commonly accepted among the Ancient Greek and Romans.

You obviously know very little about spartan culture. Also, there was an entire army comprised entirely of homosixual lovers that defeated the spartan army.

Not to mention Alexander The Great, who was in love with his main general.

I have a feeling that divorce will be managed by a broadsword rather than a legal document. My wife left me for a drug dealer 2 weeks ago.. I am starting to like the broadsword idea LOL (jk).
