I have to say. The marriages are nice, that was missed in Oblivion. But here are a few things that I DO NOT want to see happen.

1) I don't want my wife to be a brainless NPC. It'd be cool if maybe sometimes she had a fight with somebody (verbal) and I had to sort it out. Or maybe if an ex-boyfriend was jealous, I would have to kill him before he kills my wife.

2) six. I do not want to be able to have six. Maybe a simple kind of "What do you think of having a kid" question that your wife asks after a few months of marriage, and if you reply "Yes" the screen blacks out for a while, then fades back in. Nothing graphic. And in the whole six months, you'll have a kid and possibly a few quests that develop as your kid gets older (Such as: your kid is sick, we need X of these herbs to cure him/her.)

3)Your wife not being self-sufficient. I don't want to be constantly getting meat and fruit to feed her. She should have a job.

Something I'm curious about.
Marrying many times? Having more than one wife? Would it be illegal?

What are your thoughts?

What if your married to Lifts-her-tail?

I'd just like it to be possible to come home one day and see your entire family slaughtered if you pissed off the wrong people throughout the course of your adventures. Otherwise I don't have much interest in the family dynamic in this game.

I don't wanna see marriage at all.

Idk but I think I'm probably one of the only people who thinks that marriage being in the game seems like a dumb thing.

I'd like the option to engage in more intimate roleplay. Just read the book "A Scholar's Guide to Nymphs". Wowee.

A screen that blacks out is all that's needed to satisfy everyone's imagination. At least then you know you've done a deed... and you get to choose what it was you did with your spouse (using your imagination).

I'd like her to polish my spear. :hubbahubba:

I want to see Argonian kids pulling their mother's tail.

If you think marriage is a bad idea, could you please explain why? I like to see peoples views.

As long as she doesn't get carried off by bandits every day, and I have to go off and save her, I don't mind.

^ this.

I dont think it will be a fantastically complex system to rival other complex systems in Skyrim. therefore it will just seem sort of tacked on at best. Better if they had have left it out and spent more time developing other things. noone would of really missed it anyway.

By gum, i hope im wrong tho and it is great

I want to be able to commit infidelity. And that is properly reflected if discovered ^^

In response to the topic:

1) Impossible to create a real person in the PC world so no matter what things will get repetitive. About the best game I've played that has wives is Rune Factory for the DS. Several spouse options, dating, little quests, rivals, marriage and finally kids. In Skyrim I am sure I will get very tired of the same response everytime I come home, but I really can't expect more from a PC game.

2) No I do not need a porm show in the game. I'll just google something if I need that kind of fix. I can understand a romantic scene making the bond stronger with your virtual wife. Maybe something like ME1 had. But even that would get old after a while.

3) I think I heard that they would still be able to take care of themselves. I would hate to be gone for a few weeks and come back to find her starved to death.

your lacking in Skyrimv :tongue: :shifty:

I am not to sure about this whole marriage thing it does seem a little redundant but i have faith in Bethesda so hopefully they will make it cool.

I respect the fact you don't want to get married in Skyrim because I probably won't get married anytime soon, but it does add more RPG choices and that is for the good.

If you REALLY don't want marriage, or dislike the idea....

Let me just go ahead and call off the special agent holding a gun to your head, ordering you to do it. Really sorry about that.

Agreed. :rolleyes:

I use to leave the adoring fan in my house, so whenever I came home it was like someone missed me. Cause he's always happy to see you.

and as meh as marriage was in Fable, it was pretty nice when you came home and your kids ran up to you. So I imagine it will be like that, but your spouse will have personality.

I doubt children would be in since it would take 9 In game months just for the baby to be born, then 5 in game years before there even remotely functional. I would be pleasantly surprised if people actually aged in the game, but that's doubtful.
