Romance :)

Post » Wed Mar 09, 2011 4:51 am

im talking about improving the interaction with the npc system; in oblivion you just can persuade some X npc to the limit of 100 but your just chating, a joke is the most you can get. In SKYRIM i hope for more interaction with all npc's like persuading a "hot girl" to the 100 then appears the FLIRT option and then KISS and maybe marriage, then the house would work for some thing and it will never be empty. LIKE FABLE but in SKYRIM will be 100 better!!!

And..... AT LAST Illution magic and some other spell finally will work to get marry! that means "charisma"

I hope Bethesda make this real :) we dont want another simple hack and slash.

When you are putting it that way - as "just killing enemys" it sounds much boring as it is. no romance means that the developers will invest more time developing more important stuff such as radiant storys, dungeons, more quests, etc. And yeah its definitely better than romance. Else - if romance isn't done correctly (*Fable**Dragon Age*) it would just feel like another lame technical task thingy other than real romance ingame, so there is always the bad chance romance wont pull it off as it should.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, because I think it's the best argument against love and romance in TES: there is no way I can think of, in a game like this, to accurately create a love interest for the player without making it shallow, meaningless, and without a hint of genuine love. It would be forced on the player--not in the sense that the player would HAVE to engage in the relationship, it could be optional, but I mean that in order for the player TO engage in the relationship, he/she would have to force his/herself into the role. That takes away from the premise of letting the player be who he/she wants to be.

Oh, and also, what the hell does Illusion have to do with romance or marriage or love?

I wish to believe that. But until ill see at least 1 good romance ingame I will always doubt it could happen.

Ya know, I don't want a simple hack-n-slash either. Improve story, quests, puzzles - leave romance out.

Huh? So you're suggesting Illusion will have spells like Charm, but for romance and getting married. You want to cast magic spells on people to get them to fall in love with you? And it's like a more effective form of speechcraft, because if they're married to you, you get whatever you want from them?
Am I on the right track?

I'm assuming you're implying boredom. In which case, I suggest either open air or another game; preferably the former.

If your character is ugly like a dummer illusion spells should work on a elf or human anyway speechcraft should be the best way..but too long. do you understand how math works on romance :)?

You're telling me that you've never once told a lie, fib, exaggeration or "temporarily modified" your personality for the purposes of romance? Whatever, it doesn't matter.

But for less sincere characters illusion would ideally be put to use for artificial seduction be it romantic or just to get more out of people. Though romance in this form in TES would be sort of stupid.. sort of a cheesy tack-on. I think that mild innuendo in select dialogue is fine but anything more would just seem sort of out of place.
